Aite, let me try clear things out the best as I can.

To see this matter on how Bousted have the tender, we have to look way back even before the NGPV time.

The Gomen has issued a tender on building a 27 New Generation PV for TLDM, this tender was call back then,
The winner at that time is PSC Naval Dockyard, they beat other 2 company (IINM) one of them is Sabah\Labuan Shipyard because PSC have better facilities and experience.

Then PSC fiasco came in, The sunovabits A**n S**h fled the country with the money and leave the ship like that.
So to solve this problem The Military under Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera use Bousted to buy the company along with all the problems and assest and continuing the project.

The SGPV is the continuity of the 6 NGPV and the only changes is the Ship from Meko to another 6 Gowind.

even with the completion of SGPV there still 15 ships that need to be supply to the Navy by Bousted or the Government of Malaysia could be sue on breaching the contract!

RSAF launches 4 surveillance jets to enhance 'eyes-in-the-skies' capabilities
Published on Apr 13, 2012

By Jermyn Chow

Singapore's latest early-warning surveillance jets went operational on Friday - sharpening the Singapore Armed Forces' 'eyes-in-the-skies' capabilities so that warfighters can see better and further, to pre-empt the enemy.

The four Gulfstream 550s, the same business jets that are used by the rich and famous, were converted for military purposes and replace the Republic of Singapore Air Force's ageing propeller-driven E-2C Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft.

The powerful radars fitted on the G550s will allow the RSAF Air Defence and Operations Command (Adoc) to detect, identify and track hostile aircraft at greater distances.

Adding the new jets to the RSAF's arsenal of enemy alert equipment, which includes the new unmanned aerial vehicles, is a milestone in Singapore's push to become a modern fighting force.

too add few point.
builder is by default BNS as government is bind under the agreement of the NGPV.
however the model and design of the ship is open for tender. which include sigma, BNS own design, DCNS gowind class and there were several other more.
after Gowind win the tender.
weapon systems, CMS, FCS are on tender as well however it is a close door. as they were under evaluation and discussion btw BNS and the Navy and possible DCNS as well.

That's like saying proton is the best domestic car manufacturer in SEA.is there really anyone else in the race?

In mid-March Russian military start rehearsals for the May 9 Victory Day parade.
Author: Image from cr2.livejournal.com
Published: 21 March 2012



The first hardware to roll over the ground: Tiger high-mobility multipurpose military vehicles.


Then BTR-80 armored personnel carriers, the backbone of the Russian motorized infantry.


Next, T-90 tanks rolling their track over the asphalt.


Most of the crew honored to take part in the parade are conscripts rather than career soldiers.


Msta-S self-propelled howitzers measure more than 11 meters in length.


They can fire 6 to 8 shells a minute at targets up to 25 km away.


S-400, the long-range counterparts to the medium-range Buks.


The nuclear-capable missiles are Russia’s last resort answer to aggression.


During the rehearsal the missile containers are actually empty.

very naise... tq for sharing ^^
