I found other forum blame our ship no crew control and monitor the radar & Navigator at ship bridge ？any idea how our ship can't avoid it ?

KD Jebat have small Navigator antenna from Thales (in right low of main combat radar), event bad weather, at lease have 10km range to detect any object in road path and to avoid collision, some more the commercial ship is not small.

Maybe can consider US navy Whidbey Island class dock landing ship 16000 tons， 2 off the this ship will retirement this year, maybe RMN can buy it used as LPD.

actually France Army (Alat) only receive 24 unit Tiger HAP , from 2001 until 2012 (remaining will change to HAD version）, first 12 unit is Tiger Basic spec (Std 1) with limit weapon support like 30mm gun, rocket and Mistral AA missile. If we buy it also have to make some upgrade on system to support anti-tank or small Anti-ship missile. if price more than USD 20 mil for each unit i think not so worth it.

PUTD Helicopter Carrying Four Military Personnel Crashes

JOHOR BAHARU, Jan 31 (Bernama) An Army Air Corps (PUTD) helicopter, an Augusta A-109 LUH, crashed in the jungle near the Bekok Dam between 9pm and 10pm Thursday night, according to sources Friday.

However, all the four people on board the helicopter, which was on a training flight, were safe and had been taken to the Kluang District Hospital.

"The helicopter was on a night training flight before it crashed in the jungle near Bekok Dam in Segamat," said the sources.

The sources said that a PUTD rescue team had been despatched to the crash site and succeeded in taking the victims out before sending them to the Kluang Hospital at about 1am.

The four victims, including a foreign military officer with the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel who was the flight instructor, did not suffer serious injuries, the sources added.

Bernama learnt that the foreign military officer was from France, while the other three people on board were locals holding the ranks of Major, Captain and a Sergeant.

The sources said the impact of the crash resulted in the tail and the rotor blades of the helicopter to break into two and the wheels of the aircraft were damaged badly.

"The helicopter was described as a total loss," the sources said.

According to the sources, night flight training involved high risks as the pilot had to rely on the 'night vision goggle' and other flight instruments in flying the helicopter.

Meanwhile, Batu Pahat OCPD ACP Din Ahmad, when contacted, confirmed receiving the report on the incident from the military this morning.

However, he said he was informed that the helicopter did not crash but had made an emergency landing due to problems faced by the aircraft.

He said no serious injury was reported on the four victims.

SAM alot cost to maintenance specially super expensive batteries pack cost USD 150 million per-set for each S300 missile system. have to charge every week.
S400 not allow export yet， event allow to export, our cant afford it, cost each set S300 missile system around usd 500 million with maintenance, and buy 1 ~2 set S300/400 with 12~16 missile each set not really help much. just small matter for china missile power.

Anyway our gov also looking on china missile defense system, from KS-1 event now HQ-16 missile system. cost is main factor.

RMN get Armidale class patrol boat should be OK. small but low operation cost, can patrol for 21 days and 5000KM. suitable patrol in sabah.

I watch Australia drama "Sea Patrol season2" it base on Armidale class patrol boat story. look quite good the ship.

Maybe not goood idea,
can consider take USD 1 Billion from our BNM rezab to purchase, 1B not much at lease can buy some, usually military hardware make payment by installment. so 1 b can use for few project initial payment.

After 2012 many public transport project need big $$$ billion-billion with in 8 year time.
estimated 3 MRT cost 65-70 Billion, HSR KL-SG cost 30-40 Billion, also some new highway and Electric rail project. Event gov will delay 2~5 year JB MRT, Kelana Jaya-Klang MRT project.

have to wait until 2015 after GST start, maybe at that time Gov will have better budget.

But for now, base on current gov deficit, for finance people view any new “unnecessary” military purchase will increase deficit, it may impact our “financial Rating”.
Agree, Mindef should change strategic and propose to gov and buy in small batches, like 4-8 unit.
