'No plans to replace MiG-29, Sukhoi jets with newer models'
By Ben Tan | 8 September 2013 Sunday


KLUANG: There are no plans for the government to replace the country's current fleet of MiG-29 and Sukhoi fighter jets with newer models soon.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said any replacement and purchase for new fighter jets has to be looked at in the context of the country's present security and threats.

"For the time being, the government does not have plans to replace the current MiG-29 and Sukhoi fighter jets yet.

“We are looking more at the possibility of equipping the present fleet of Agusta with weapons or upgrading the Nuri helicopters,” he said after the Merdeka Raya 2013 celebrations at the Sembrog parliamentary constituency here today.

Meanwhile, Hishammuddin who is also the acting Transport Minister, reminded bus and transport companies to not increase their fares indiscriminately as to burden the people.

He said any fare increase cannot be implemented yet until a comprehensive study has been carried out by the Public Land Transport Commission (SPAD).

Hishammuddin said his ministry will assist by amending transport policies to avoid burdening the people following the increase in the fuel prices.

"SPAD and the Transport Ministry officials are still in discussions with bus companies to look into the issue of how to the fuel subsidies can be channeled to them to avoid a fare hike,” he said.

got one soldier there terjatuh

Hehe yup

Woi jgn gelak le~

Of course not, they are brave soldiers

heard 5 SU30MKM will be based in Kuching. Is this true?
Preparing for war kah?

Even from GKAB, the SU30MKM go quickly dispatched from there to Sabah...

That's a serious piece of hardware to move around

Unless there is serious renovation or upgrade to Kuching Airbase, rumors will stay rumors

Aku rasa Hawk je on standby kat Labuan,
mmg cordon skrg ni ketat la pasal krisis kat Pinoy tu

Let see how the pinoy gov handles the current situation n let see how does their military and police manage the rebels. Wanna see their SF in action also. it would be great
