just in case anybody is wondering where does the SAS came from

aku nak tanya.. mana dia janji Five Power Defence Arrangements yang puak british janjikan untuk keselamatan Malaysia..
dah dekat sebulan lebih dah lawan geng sulu ni.. memang tak boleh percaya bulat-bulat janji omputih,
selagi kepentingan dia tak kena serang, selagi tu dia akan buat bodo.

tak payah jauh2,kita buat war game sama Singapore di Sabah. Suruh diurg bawa Apache diurg sekali.

iwas reading the sabah times today, and najib is already crediting the success in Lahad Datu's ops daulat was thanks to his "blue ocean strategy."

I felt sick in the gut after that. When will politicians learn to shut up? we want to hear from the Army, not some dewd in the office.

we need to increase military spending and reduce subsidation.
foreignour should not be able to buy property to prevent real estate prices to climb again so people can actually afford houses.

not everything is a military secrets.
The only I dislike on those who bising is they make funny comparisons.
also loves to wiki and find price tag comparisons. sometimes it not that simple to measure procurement.
there will be always some differ in the deals. like ammo, training, additional hardware and customization, transportation fees "yes it not free kena bayar you know", Manufacture licensing, and so on.

hey dude by any chance malaysia will increase military budget at least 8% of gdp?

tbh singapore could just spend 1.4% of their gdp and it will be fine their land very small easy cover.

malaysia land is vast and huge...
we need more equipment

I think we need a new mechanism for our military procurement.
with promotes effective military procurement.
more transparency but there will be always a need to balance national interest and transparency. these is something we have to think of. "as there will be always some sensitive hardware we need to be remains as secrets that facts"
Ban middlemen dealing.
promote local defense industry.

I wonder how many of you have held, not to even mention fire a gun before:hmm:

Citizen of the country that hate msia didn't realize that their product like music, drama n labour are totally depending in msia market. If we msian totally boycott these thing,how do they cari makan.

I do not know if u realize or not. Msian tv channel gave special slot for their drama that is every afternoon. Even the radio channel playing a lot of their song even have special 1-2 hour slot playing theirs song. 

Dude its just philippines la...they depend on us coz we are richer

petron, esso.. ring- a- bell ? well of course they wont go bankrupt overnight, but it would affect them adversely if Malaysia decide to pull the plug. Dont make them look bigger than they really are.
Philippines is a banana republic

moving very fast? how fast? how's their GDP? serious question

that's if Aquino remains in power. So far, Aquino and Bambang has been doing a great job in their respective countries. So the people cannot afford to derail the progress they have made all this years and for a country of that size, its important to have a strong government. Still, these countries are still growing and they rely on their richer neighbours for trade and to feed their economy.. its like what Singapore is to Malaysia also, both are important to each other.

Meanwhile, if Malaysia doesn't watch out, Indonesia and Philippines will leave them behind.  The only thing that's preventing them from overtaking Malaysia is their sheer size...

6% is not very fast
we grew 5.5% last year too
and our total gdp is still bigger than them
and not forgetting gdp percapita
and the fact that they are moving from low to medium income is easier than moving from medium to high income like us

Extra purchase.

a computer game as your point of reference? a game where you can play rambo to your hearts content?      

remember that day when our men shot at a movement in the bushes by the roadside, and a man and a 15 year old boy died? both unarmed!

our army of hundreds, with all the support of modern weaponry. i would expect them to have better operational methods to weed out the sulu gunmen, not be itchy fingers and shoot at movements in the bushes. dont ask me how to better do it, i did not study in west point, but our generals should have proven tactics already in front of them.

primary ROI against ambush and snipers is to kill or be killed. the ROI is in effect in the red zone, and all residents were informed. the safety of our men takes highest priority, and we made the enemy very much aware of this. this is the proven tactic used, and it's not about itchy fingers.

i expect u to grow a brain before ur next reply.

and the ROI is fully explained to the residents of the area? adults and children? including those that could not read?

surely there are better methods in doing the sweeping, that can uncover those bystanders. the bystanders are possibly scared children, who are caught in the situation. they were probably hiding in the bushes on seeing the oncoming army men. they had nowhere to go, just the bushes.

come on....they are just children. skinny children. unarmed. scared.

kenapa perlu dengar cakap diorg ? Zahid pun patut ditukar, patut General yang jadi menteri pertahanan

How could politicians know more than Generals about the National defense anyway?  In this case, the intrusion illustrates that Malaysia needs specialized defence investments to defend territory, but if the politician doesn't understand this; they are more likely to hold back from  making the most practical decision thus preferring a more "economic" investment. But when lives are lost due to defective equipment ultimately caused by "band-aid solutions" instead of long term ones; who is most likely to be blamed for that ?

most country dont allow active serviceman to be menteri pertahanan
