PKR deputy president Rafizi Ramli's move to challenge Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Abdul Latiff Ahmad to sue him over statements he made over Latiff's involvement in the littoral combat ships (LCS) project is a mere ruse in a bid to save face, said Umno leader Mohd Puad Zarkashi.

The Umno supreme council member said it is simple enough for Rafizi to obtain a copy of the marriage certificate of Latiff and the woman said to be involved in the LCS scandal.
