dun mess with swiss gal...

LOL!!

But I think the image of the guy grocery shopping with an SG550 assault rifle is much,much more disturbing....even in USA you cannot carry a full-auto assault rifle in public,never mind going shopping....

not disturbing maaa, they can't carry or bring ammo outside, only got stock sealed at home for emergency purpose.

So there are no specialization at all within the regiment?

You're either a soldier or a paratrooper? No medics or radioman or recon elements, etc?

MALCON-ISAF 2 : Contact Drill For Malaysian Troop in Bamyan Afghanistan 2011

We conducted a contact drill today with our security forces and medical personnel just to prepare our soldiers against any possible threat or unwanted situations while performing our duties here in Bamyan. Although we are mainly a medical team ( with some security forces personnel escorting us in all our deployment here) , we still have to take care of ourselves in any critical or threatening situations. We never know what might happen but we are praying to Allah to allow us to perform our duty to help the people of Afghanistan with Allah's protection and May ALLAH grant us with his blessings and safety. So far, Bamyan is safe but training like this is being conducted from time to time to help improve our readiness all the time. Because Bamyan's road are mostly narrow , we made our own SOP for contact drill after taking into account the terrain and enemy's possible course of action. It covers contact from all possible directions .

The NATO's SOP for contact drill is quite straight forward and does not require any personnel to come out of the vehicle but taking into account that we do not have mounted GPMG or any other support weapon ( because we are a medical team using medical vehicles ), we devised an SOP which require an alternate withdrawal technique on foot in conditions where the attacked vehicle is badly damaged and can't be mobilised at all. The training was good , and the review by our international military coalition partners which were involved in this exercise were good. I am praying to Allah that we will never have to conduct this maneouver at all as we have come in peace....just to help the people of Afghanistan.

Do you get to choose what specialization you want when joining wataniah? Or do you need to work in a related field in order to become one?

For example, you need to work in a hospital with medical knowledge in order to become a medic in the regiment?

waoh, so you like hitler mang!

Malaysia Mulls Joint UK Warship Development

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia is considering a number of defence joint ventures with the UK including the development of navy ships with BAE Systems, reported The Timesin London today.

The UK paper reported however that the Malaysian government would want assurances that it would be protected from the type of budget overruns that had hit previous BAE projects.

“Malaysia is considering joining Britain in developing a new generation of navy frigates — but only if it is protected from the sort of budget blowouts that have blighted recent BAE projects,” said The Times.

“Brazil, India, Turkey and Australia have expressed interest in helping to develop the Type 26 frigate, or Global Combat Ship, but BAE’s reputation has made other potential partners nervous and Malaysia would want a guarantee that it would not be liable for budget overruns before it signed up.”

It also quoted Grant Rogan, the chief executive of Blenheim Capital, an apparent adviser to the Malaysian government, as saying that the project had been discussed at the ministerial level in Malaysia as a way to both strengthen bilateral relations with the UK and grow the nation’s industrial base but that the Malaysian government will be “very firm on cost control”.



Rogan was also quoted as saying that the Type 26 frigate is just one of a number of potential defence joint ventures that Malaysia is considering with Britain.

According to The Times, BAE Systems had bust its budget for the Royal Navy’s Type 45 destroyers, which entered service three years late while the cost of the six ships increased from £5 billion (RM24.38 billion) to £6.4 billion.

It added that BAE’s Astute nuclear submarine was delivered five years late and its cost increased from £5.2 billion to £6.7 billion

The proposed Type 26, which will weigh up to 6,000 tonnes, is supposed to replace Type 22 and Type 23 frigates and is expected to form the backbone of the UK Navy’s fleet from about 2020.

BAE, together with Turkey’s Nurol, won a contract last year to supply 250 armoured vehicles to Malaysia, in a deal reportedly worth RM1.72 billion.

The company was also reported in July to be bidding for a tender to replace Malaysia’s MiG-29N with its Eurofighter Typhoon.

The Times said that the MiG-29N replacement deal could be worth £2.4 billion.
The UK based BAE Systems is considered Europe’s largest defence contractor and had 2010 sales of about £22.4 billion.
