He said investigations had so far revealed that low-ranking officers were involved in the crime.
“Those directly involved in the case were enlisted men with the rank of sergeant and below.
“So far, no high-ranking officers have been implicated but should any be found to be involved, action will be taken,” he told reporters after launching buses of the National Service Training Department at Wangsa Maju here yesterday.
I don’t really agree with the idea of low ranking staff being involved. This would be the audit team did not do its work properly, there’s no proper measures to check inventories, etc. Definitely someone should be in charge of all this procedures.
He also clarified on the cost of the engines:
Dr Ahmad Zahid also confirmed that two engines were stolen, with each costing RM50mil if they were new.
“But since they are not new, the value has depreciated,” he said.
It was pointed out that the plane may cost less than the engine itself if it was indeed RM50 million. Not sure how true that is.
And then, he focused on bloggers:
“I do not want bloggers to try to distort any facts with all sorts of speculation and analysis on the matter.
I think he should first ask the media to report properly. He should also ensure the official statements are accurate and detailed. Who mentioned the engine costs RM50 million? Was it bloggers? Who said brigadier general and 40 others were sacked? Bloggers too?
