Rafizi Ramli Alleged Specific Links Between Dr Abdul Latiff and LCS Scandal Through Zainab Mohd Salleh and Alizes Marine Ltd

PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli has made specific claims that connect Datuk Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad to the littoral combat ships (LCS) scandal, primarily through allegations concerning a woman named Zainab Mohd Salleh and a company called Alizes Marine Ltd. These assertions were disseminated across multiple online platforms, including blog posts, Twitter, and TikTok.
Allegations Regarding Zainab Mohd Salleh's Identity and Relationship

Rafizi Ramli asserted that Zainab Mohd Salleh is the second wife of Dr Abdul Latiff Ahmad. This claim forms a central part of his allegations linking the minister to the LCS project's financial dealings.
Claims About Alizes Marine Ltd and Contractual Links

Furthermore, Rafizi Ramli alleged that Zainab Mohd Salleh is the owner of Alizes Marine Ltd. He further claimed that this company, Alizes Marine Ltd, received a contract from the Defence Ministry valued at tens of millions of ringgit.
Accusations of Fund Diversion and Offshore Leaks

A significant part of Rafizi Ramli's claims involved the alleged diversion of funds from the LCS project into Alizes Marine Ltd. He also pointed to Zainab Mohd Salleh's alleged naming in the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers, documents that reportedly detail offshore financial activities.
Challenge for Legal Action

In response to these allegations, Rafizi Ramli has dared Dr Abdul Latiff to initiate legal proceedings for defamation. He specifically included two companies, Boustead Heavy Industries Corp Berhad and Alliance IFA (M) Sdn Bhd, in his challenge, suggesting they too should be part of any defamation suit if they believed his claims were unfounded.
