Malaysia's navy is in danger as government secrets have been allegedly sold to a French company, PKR claimed.

FMT ALERT

PETALING JAYA: The alleged sale of Malaysian military secrets, if true, have put our soldiers at risk, PKR deputy president Azmin Ali said.

He was referring to Suaram’s recent expose, which involved the selling of secret documents with details on the Malaysian Navy’s Scorpene-class submarine to a French company.

The act, as far as Azmin was concerned, was “treason of the highest order”.

“Revealing these strategies have allowed for the Scorpene’s weaknesses to be taken advantage of.”

“This action has endangered the lives of our soldiers handling the already operational Scorpene submarines,” he told reporters at party headquarters this morning.

The exchange, which supposedly took place during the early 2000s, occured when Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak served as Malaysia’s Defence Minister.

As such, Azmin said that Najib had much to answer for.
