What's the story here?
Yahoo News: China Deploys ships near Malaysian Waters
Any thoughts on this matter?

I think Malaysia view in this matter is the most diplomatic way
and yes it is kind of pain sometime but it is the safer route
+ Philippines and Vietnam are never consult us about this matter

Pendekar is also not what army want wasn't it? 

from fb;
i think its already latest official news

For all the posts in the thread, I'm still waiting for official source that says MAF has bough used Tiger Attack Helis ...

Tiger HAP Procurement Finalised This Year????



A report by William Steuer on Janaury 28 titled “La Malaisie signera-t-elle pour ses Tigre HAP ?“
which literally translated as “Will Malaysia Sign For Its Tiger HAP?” and published in Air&Cosmos
portal is indeed interesting and something which is very much welcomed.

As has been demostrated during Ops Daulat in March 2013, there is an apparent need by the Malaysian Army
to have a forward deployed, Close Air Support (CAS) platform such as attack helicopter, which is able to provide
aerial suppression fire close to ground troop’s enemy contact.

According to the report, as early as July 2013, the French has offered  to the MAF for the
delivery of six Eurocopter Tiger HAP attack helicopters taken from the French Army’s ALAT stock.

unless small weapon system ("small" being "tactical-level". manpads, ATGM, armored patrol vehicle, etc),then i dun mind

While pentagon planners are hoping to save money by scrapping thousands of mine resistant armor protected
(MRAP) vehicles bought only few years ago for over US$25 billions, defense contractors could bear heavy losses
if those vehicles are not maintained in operational use somewhere around the world. Wall Street Journal Robert Tita
reports that the Pentagon plans of scrapping 13,000 Used MRAPs would cut into replacement-parts business at Navistar,
Oshkosh and BAE.



The Army, Marine Corps and other services intend to keep about 11,000 MRAPs. About 6,500 trucks are still being
used in Afghanistan, but the bulk of those will return stateside by the time the U.S. military withdrawal is completed
late this year. About 6,000 trucks—many of them, older models used in Iraq—already have been returned to the U.S.,
Another 1,600 or so are in Kuwait. Many of these vehicles will be scrapped, if new users aren’t found.

The Pentagon wants to give away 13,000 MRAPs “We’ve notified our friends and allies that we have MRAPs available
and if they want them they can have them,” Alan Estevez, deputy undersecretary of defense for acquisitions, technology
and logistics said. Interest from foreign militaries has been tepid as these ultra-heavy vehicles that have operated in
Afghanistan have been worn out by the harsh terrain.


This ex-military Caiman MRAP will be used to transport Fort Lee SWAT teams.
Local police bought the vehicle from the U.S. Department of Defense for just $2,000.

LAHAD DATU: A new brigade will be set up in Sabah to beef up security along its coast, Inspector General of Police Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar said.

The brigade will have three battalions, at its headquarters in Sandakan, Beluran and Kudat,
he said adding this was recently approved by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak.

Khalid said the brigade will be the second for Sabah and will complement efforts to strengthen security
coverage across the state especially along the east coast.

"We expect the new bridge to start its operation at the end of this year as we would now start recruiting
and there would be some construction work to prepare the battalions," he said.

Khalid said this after presenting 233 members of the police force the Pingat Kedaulatan Negara at the Marine Police complex.

"This is to show appreciation to the contribution, bravery and sacrificed during Ops Daulat,"
he said adding more will be accorded the medal in due course.
