Kuala Lumpur: YB Datuk, congratulations on your appointment as the Defence Minister, one of the most senior positions in the government. While I understand that some and even you might feel your appointment to the post during this hard times as National Service, I feel that you must understand you […]
KUALA LUMPUR: The US Navy (see link below) finally saved their captured cargo ship captain from the Somali pirates. The rescue came soon after the French navy was also successful in a separate rescue attempt last week. One had wished that the RMN had done the same thing when our […]
KUALA LUMPUR: THE PM just announced that the Kementah hot seat has been taken up by Datuk Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who was recently voted as one of the three UMNO VP. Najib certainly chose the non-favourite candidate to take up the post, long associated with himself, of course. Ahmad Zahid […]
KUALA LUMPUR: The story below from Defense News is self-explanatory. However it did not mentioned whether export customers like Malaysia and South Africa, would be involved, though it is likely that the French will consult with our government. Malaysian Defence sentiment on the matter is clear, cancel the deal but […]
KUALA LUMPUR: Back in January Malaysian Defence asked the same question and even posted a poll on this site. A total of 81 people responded and the majority believed that none of the three names listed on the poll, Hishammudin Hussein, Shafie Afdal and Muhyiddin Yassin, will head Jalan Padang […]

KUALA LUMPUR: I did not mention it but someone did and its obvious that even if we lacked the money, the PV second batch would probably get the nod in the official Tenth Malaysian Plan. Its not that its the sole locally sourced defence item but theres other forces in […]
KUALA LUMPUR: From cursory readings of the mini-budget, Malaysian Defence acknowledged that the Tenth Malaysian Plan Part 1, funding is financially unattainable. While Malaysian Defence agree with some of the objections raised – where are you going to find the money, Simon – nonetheless it must be pointed out that […]
KUALA LUMPUR: The story below is certainly a huge wake up call for our Flanker boys. The success of the Aussies offer a genuine competition to our very own Archer in the air-to-air arena. However this maybe an alternative to our Hornet boys whom are always left behind with inferior […]
