Scorpene deal cost up to RM7.3 bil but Mindef says no commissions paid!!

On April 28, French legal team in KL to probe Scorpene deal - Joseph Breham, a member of a French legal team that filed complaints in a Paris court in connection with a potentially explosive scandal over the billion-dollar purchase of French submarines by Malaysia is in Kuala Lumpur today, to seek further information on the case and to speak with their clients, human rights organisation Suaram. The deal was engineered by then-defense minister Najib Razak, now prime minister, in 2002 and resulted in a massive RM3.7 billion commission for one of Najib's closest associates, Abdul Razak Baginda. On July 22, Scorpene deal cost up to RM7.3 bil - The government has paid a whopping 1.341 billion euro (RM6.7 billion) for the two Scorpene submarines, the purchase of which is currently under probe by the French courts for corruption. Today, Mindef says it again - no commissions paid for subs - The Defence Ministry has denied that commissions were paid by any party for the procurement of the Royal Malaysian Navy's two Scorpene submarines. Always deny, always say only. You expect the rakyat to believe you at face value? Will the government or Mindef declassify docs pertaining to the purchase of the Scorpene submarines to prove there was no commission paid for subs?
