Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim formally objected to Norway revoking export licenses for a naval strike missile system. The decision halts the supply of critical hardware for Malaysia's multi-billion dollar Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) modernization program. The revocation threatens Malaysia's defense operational readiness and the modernization schedule.
Anwar Ibrahim conveyed the government's objection to his Norwegian counterpart on the morning of May 14. He stated the export halt has grave consequences for national defense capabilities.
