Azam Baki should resign as MACC Chief Commissioner as he has been caught red-handed telling two conflicitng stories about MACC investigations into the RM9 billion LCS scandal
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence on Monday, 12 September 2022
Azam Baki should resign as Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner as he has been caught red-handed telling two conflicting stories about MACC investigations into the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal.
On August 11, 2022 the MACC issued a statement saying that it had completed its investigation papers on individuals linked to the LCS scandal, that the investigation papers had been handed to the Attorney General’s Chambers (AGC) and the MACC had made recommendations on what charges to file against these individuals and waiting further instructions after the AGC had studied the papers.

PSC on Agencies under PM’s Department must prove its worth by summoning the MACC Chief, Azam Baki to testify why he is playing the “blind, deaf and mute” game on the RM9 billion LCS scandal
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence, Parliament, PAS on Sunday, 11 September 2022
Two days ago on Friday, I proposed that the Parliament Select Committee on Agencies under the Prime Minister’s Department meet urgently and summon the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) Chief Commissioner, Azam Baki to explain why the MACC had failed to take action against anyone for the RM9 billion littoral combatants ships (LCS) scandal although he had the benefit of two reports on the LCS scandal – the Special Investigation Committee on Public Governance, Procurement and Finance the LCS (JKUSTUPKK) headed by then auditor-general Ambrin Buang and the report of the forensic audit of the LCS procurement (2011-2014) carried out by Alliance IFA (M) Sdn. Bhd. at the behest of Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) – which contained a myriad of possible charges on corruption, abuse of power, breach of trust, malpractices and cheating.
So far, Azam had given the lame excuse that the MACC needs more time for its investigation into the troubled RM9 billion LCS project as a few of the witnesses the MACC wants to summon are overseas. Read the rest of this entry »
Azam cannot continue to play the “blind, deaf and mute” game and selectively decide to ignore pertinent questions about the transparency, accountability and effectiveness of the MACC
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence on Saturday, 10 September 2022
Yesterday, I challenged the lame excuse of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) chief commissioner, Azam Baki that the MACC needs more time for its investigation into the troubled RM9 billion littoral combat ship (LCS) project.
Azam had told a press conference on Thursday that the anti-graft agency needed some time to summon more witnesses, including a few who were overseas.

Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence, Zahid on Thursday, 8 September 2022
There are five reasons why Zahid Hamidi should step down as UMNO President.
First, all political parties in the next 15th General Election should condemn the RM50 billion 1MDB financial scandal and make the saving of Malaysia from becoming a kleptocracy a main plank of their election pledges. Read the rest of this entry »
Empty words of “no more delays in LCS project” are not good enough – what are the new milestones for the delivery of the six LCS, will it be during the 13th Malaysia Plan 2026-2030 when the first Letter of Intent (LOI) was issued as far back as the 9th Malaysia Plan?
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence on Wednesday, 7 September 2022
(Versi BM)
Empty words of “no more delays in the littoral combatant ships (LCS) project” are not good enough.
The first of six LCS was scheduled to be delivered in April 2019, and by now, we should have five LCS (with the sixth to be delivered by June next year but absolutely no construction had been done on it yet) to protect the safety and security of Malaysia. Read the rest of this entry »
Zahid Hamidi should step down as UMNO President as he is unable for a month to clear himself of major responsibility for the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal and, even worse, clear Najib Razak as the biggest “shark’ in the scandal

Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should step down as UMNO President as he is unable for a month to clear himself of major responsibility for the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal, and even worse, clear Najib Razak as the biggest “shark” in the scandal.
A month ago, Zahid was foolish to deny that he was responsible for the RM9 billion LCS scandal. Read the rest of this entry »

The Attorney-General Idrus Harun should clarify whether the redacted sections in the two declassified reports on the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal had nothing to do with defence secrets but protect the “Big Shark” in the LCS scandal and hide the connection of the Scorpene submarine with the LCS procurements.
The Cabinet next Wednesday should summon the Attorney-General to appear before it and explain the reasons for the redactions in the two reports on the RM9 billion LSC scandal – the Ambrin Report of the Special Investigation Committee on Public Governance, Procurement and Finance the LCS (JKUSTUPKK) and the report of the forensic audit of the LCS procurement (2011-2014) carried out by Alliance IFA (M) Sdn.

Malaysiaki journalist Hariz Mohd today in a report entitled “LCS scandal: Audit reports show ‘unusual’ deal before govt contract awarded” said two separate audit exercises on Putrajaya’s procurement of six littoral combat ships (LCS) for the Royal Malaysian Navy revealed that there may have been a deal between the main contractor and controversial shipbuilder DCNS before the government issued its contract.
This was based on a quotation issued by DCNS to Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) dated Dec 23, 2010, one year before the government awarded the LCS contract to BNS. Read the rest of this entry »

Who is the biggest “shark” in the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal – Najib Razak who was Prime Minister and Finance Minister from April 2009 to May 2018, Zahid Hamidi who was Defence Minister from April 2009 to May 2013, Hishammuddin Hussein who was Defence Minister from May 2013 to May 2018, or Mohamad Sabu, Defence Minister from May 2018 to February 2020?

The UMNO President, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi should explain why he has not told the full story to UMNO leaders and members the main role played by him and Najib Razak in the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal – the new 1MDB scandal of Malaysia?
I agree with the DAP National Publicity Secretary and MP for Kulai, Teo Nie Ching, that former Prime Minister and Finance Minister, Najib Razak and Zahid, as the Defence Minister at the time, cannot deny responsibility for the LCS scandal. Read the rest of this entry »
Azam Baki shaping up to be the worst head of anti-corruption agency in Malaysian history for half a century – with RM9 billion LCS scandal as his greatest failure although he had access to the Ambrin Report and the forensic audit report on the LCS scandal for over two years
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence on Saturday, 27 August 2022
Azam Baki is shaping up to be the worst head of anti-corruption agency in Malaysian history for half a century with the RM9 billion littoral combatant ships (LCS) scandal his greatest failure although he had access to the Ambrin Report and the forensic report on the LCS scandal for over two years.
Malaysians are entitled to know what Azam did to these two reports – the Special Investigation Committee on Public Governance, Procurement and Finance the LCS (JKUSTUPKK) headed by then auditor-general Ambrin Buang and the report of the forensic audit of the LCS procurement (2011-2014) carried out by Alliance IFA (M) Sdn. Bhd. at the behest of Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Bhd (BHIC) and which contained a myriad of possible corruption charges – when instances of corruption, abuse of power, breach of trust, malpractices and cheating en masse were virtually served on a silver platter to the MACC by these two reports.

I agree with the Prime Minister, Ismail Sabri Yaacob that it was not unusual to have the budget day in Parliament fixed in early October, as during the time of the fifth Prime Minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, the budget day in Parliament was always in in September.

Azam Baki should resign as MACC Chief Commissioner if he is unable to explain why the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) had not acted against anyone in the RM9 billion littoral combat ships (LSC) scandal although MACC was in possession of over two years the forensic audit report on the LCS scandal which contained a myriad of possible corruption charges.
Azam Baki cannot deny that the MACC had been in possession for over two years the forensic audit report into the LCS scandal carried out by Alliance IFA (M) Sdn.

Boustead LCS forensic audit report raises the question why MACC had not acted against anyone for RM9 billion LCS scandal although it was provided with all the evidence in the past two years
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence on Thursday, 25 August 2022
The Boustead littoral combat ships (LCS) forensic audit report is indeed a horror story of abuse of power, breach of trust, deception, mismanagement and sheer corruption of billions of ringgit of defence procurements, justifying Malaysia’s low “D” category of the high-risk of corruption of countries in Transparency International’s Government Defence Integrity (GDI) Index as well as the plunging score and rank for Malaysia in TI’s annual Corruption Perception Index.
It raises directly questions about the abysmal failure of the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to fight corruption Malaysia.

Disappointed that Cabinet had not set up a RCI into RM9 billion LSC scandal yesterday but calls on Ismail Sabri to declassify the report of Council of Eminent Persons and to convene a Special Parliamentary Session on Corruption
Posted by Kit in Corruption, Defence, Ismail Sabri on Thursday, 25 August 2022
Malaysians are disappointed that the Cabinet has not set up a Royal Commission of Inquiry (RCI) into the RM9 billion littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal yesterday.
Former Prime Minister and Bersatu President, Muhyiddin Yassin, said the fight against corruption doesn’t end with former Prime Minister Najib Razak being sent to jail, but it is regrettable that the nine Bersatu Ministers in the Cabinet were not prepared to live up to the Bersatu President’s words by pressing for the establishment of a RCI into the LCS scandal.
