The KD Tunku Abdul Rahman sailed into a grand reception last year as the first of two commissioned from French contractor DCNS and Spain’s Navantia for a total of 3.4 billion ringgit.
Named after the country’s first prime minister, it was hailed as an important acquisition despite opposition allegations of corruption in the deal.
"The submarine can still dive but when we detected the defects, we were advised that it should not dive," Zahid told reporters.
"The (parts found with) defects are still under warranty so the supplier and contractor are repairing them," he added.
Navy chief Abdul Aziz Jaafar said a problem first emerged in the submarine’s cooling system last December. After being fixed, another defect was identified in a different system last month.
"We hope it can dive again after February 18, so we can carry out the tropical water trials," Abdul Aziz told reporters.
The navy chief said the second submarine, the KD Tun Razak which is named after the nation’s second premier, is expected to arrive from France on May 31. It was originally scheduled for delivery in late 2009.
The two submarines have attracted controversy since the deal was signed in 2002.
Malaysia’s opposition claims that a 540-million-ringgit commission was paid to a close associate of Prime Minister Najib Razak in brokering the contract.
Najib has denied there was any corruption in the deal, which was made when he was defence minister.
GEORGE TOWN: A group of Malay non-governmental organisations staged a protest at Komtar here after Friday prayers to object against what they claimed was discrimination in the demolition of illegal hawker stalls, burning an effigy of Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng in the process.
The crowd had earlier congregated at Masjid Jamek Simpang Enam before Friday prayers and walked to Komtar in Jalan Magazine, which houses the state government offices, to hand over a memorandum to Lim.
Police failed in trying to block the crowd from staging the walk.
The protest was organised by the Penang Malay Chamber of Commerce and National Malay Students Federation (GPMS).
Also joining the protest was the head of Perkasa, Datuk Paduka Ibrahim Ali, who is also Pasir Mas MP.
When representatives from the group failed to meet Lim at his office in Komtar, the crowd set an effigy representing Lim on fire. They also burnt the memorandum.
Police, including Federal Reserve Unit, were also at the scene to carry out crowd control.
MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!
