LETTER | Littoral Combat Ship project must not fail a second time A LETTER | The announcement by Defence Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob that the government has agreed for the Boustead Group to continue with the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) project is welcomed with mixed enthusiasm. If the project is well managed after drawing lesson from past mistakes, it has the potential for a positive spin on the economy. Otherwise, committing more funds using the same incompetent project and management team is digging a deeper hole for self-burial. Announcing the continuation of the LCS project without giving details of the funds - amount, source, and for what number of the ships to be delivered - is half -baked.
