DEFENCE Minister Hishammuddin Hussein must state clearly the exact date the first littoral combat ship (LCS) is due to be delivered, Mohamad Sabu and Liew Chin Tong said.

In a joint statement, the former defence minister and his deputy asked the Umno lawmaker if he was hiding facts regarding the costs and the injection of new funds required to complete the ship, after making a conflicting remark on the delivery date.
