Has any indigenous defence item been developed or further developed by all the Malaysian companies with all the TOT or IP rights procurement ?
How much US$ value is set aside for defence RD ?
What are the qualifications of those people who are supposed to be involved in RD ?
What percentage of them are in fact Malaysians ?
What is the total value of TOT Received and Ringgit spent for IP since policy inception and what are the results in Ringgit Terms or even equipment ?
What defence equipment have we exported apart from Handalan and field kitchens to Brunei and a couple of UAV to Thailand ?
The only thing the Malaysian companies are interested in is the current contact and once it is fulfilled they will dump the old TOT/ IP without spending one cent for further development and cry for new TOT/IP .
abit old news ... no harm to read it.
