KUALA LUMPUR: Former Boustead Naval Shipyard Sdn Bhd (BNS) managing director Ahmad Ramli Mohd Nor was charged in the sessions court here today with three counts of criminal breach of trust (CBT) involving RM21.08 million.
Ramli, 78, who is also the former navy chief, claimed trial when the charges were read to him before judge Suzana Hussain.
He is accused of fraudulently approving three payments amounting to RM21.08 million to three firms without the approval of BNS’ board. He allegedly committed the offences between Oct 28, 2010 and Nov 22, 2010.
BNS was tasked with building six navy frigates in the troubled RM9 billion littoral combat ship (LCS) project.
The project has come under parliamentary scrutiny over costs and delays in construction. The first ship was launched in 2017 and scheduled for delivery in 2019, with the rest at six-month intervals. However, none has been completed or delivered.

The first ship was "launched" in 2017 , an empty hull with a fake mast, to hoodwink the public to think the ship was at an advanced stage of construction.
