有「爆料天王」之稱的人民公正黨副主席拉菲茲揭露，政府在經濟艱難時刻，卻向法國國防部購買價值35億令吉的「西北風戰艦」。
他說，根據《國際商業時報》（International Business Times）在上月26日刊載，已於昨日抵馬的法國國防部長勒德里昂在我國進行2天的訪問時，將和首相拿督斯里納吉及國防部長拿督斯里希山慕丁達成有關交易。

The French defense minister is in talks with Malaysia to sell the Southeast Asian nation one of the Mistral warship aircraft carriers that was initially intended for Russia, a source close to the talks told Reuters Tuesday. Several countries, especially in emerging nations in Southeast Asia and South America, have been interested in the purchase of the ships, with reports confirming that one of the ships would be sold to Malaysia.
Defense minister Jean-Yves Le Drian was set to travel Sunday to Malaysia, reportedly to discuss the sale of one of the warships. Le Drian would also travel to India on the same trip to discuss selling rafale fighter jets to the country.
The two Mistrals were originally built for Russia in a deal made by former French President Nicolas Sarkozy in 2011. Set to be delivered in 2014 and 2016, the ships would have marked the first arms deal between a Western nation and Russia. President Francois Hollande canceled the deal in 2014, following Russia's continuing involvement in Ukraine, annexing the Crimean peninsula and reportedly arming pro-Russian separatists.
