Parti Kita chief Zaid Ibrahim is sparing nobody in raising new allegations on unchecked military spending, putting the spotlight on the controversial multi-billion ringgit contract to build offshore patrol vessels (OPV).
He slammed the government, saying it allowed the project to incur massive cost overruns, and at the same time, reprimanded the opposition for paying too much attention to street rallies while such "scandalous contracts" continued to flourish.
Zaid claimed that the cost of the OPV contract had ballooned to RM10 billion, with French shipbuilder DCNS - which supplied the country's two Scorpene submarines - allegedly being roped in to partner with Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd to build the vessels in Perak.
