Those are photos of Indonesian Army Leopard 2 tank crews training in Germany according to the source of the photos. Most probably training in preparation for the 2nd batch of delivery.

atreyuangel aku dapat rasa perisikan USA sudah dapat hidu sesuatu dari krisis di Thailand.. aku ingatkan kawan aku main-main je bila dia cakap lepas raja thailand sekarang meninggal dunia, negara thailand mungkin akan berpecah kepada 3 bahagian sebab ada masalah amat besar akan pewaris tahta.. dikatakan pewaris tahta sah raja thailand sekarang, yang institusi diraja thailand sembunyikan semua data peribadi dia kepada orang ramai, dia dikatakan hendak minta taraf warganegara Malaysia dan hanya mahu jadi orang kebanyakan, mahu jadi orang biasa, tak mahu pegang tahta kerajaan thailand sebab fahaman agama dan kepercayaan yang amat berbeza.. pewaris sah tahta kerajaan thailand sekarang dikatakan sedang berada di antara selatan thailand dan utara semenanjung malaysia, tiada siapa tahu identiti sebenar dia.

aku cadangkan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) kukuhkan sempadan Malaysia-Thailand macam-macam boleh jadi lepas amerika pergi post berita camni, kawan aku dah cakap benda ni berbulan-bulan sebelum washingtonpost benda ni.. camne macam lebih kurang la pula

indon memang dont like us, some of the hardcore still believe we should be part of them

u should day they sell themselves more to US, they have more US equipments compared to us

sipadan /ligitan is not like malaysia stole from indo. malaysia developed those islands and suddently indo claimed theirs. even ICJ accept it those island part of malaysia. we dont used any military action to get those island. it is your media and politician spin the story to make malaysia backstab the relationship. i hope we (malaysia-indonesia) can come out with something good so we can stop this nonsense. i really shocked when im trying google about f22 raptor in malaysia .. 1 the result came from kaskus(indo forum). i been lurking around in kaskus since then and found out that indo really hate malaysia. and the major reason indo hate malaysia is bcoz we have good relationship with british. apa ketahian ni?

Indonesian Air Force to deploy fighter planes to disputed area

Deputy chief of staff of the TNI-AU, Air Vice Marshall Sudipo Handoyo has said on 9/6/2014 that work has begun to upgrade an old Dutch airfield at Paloh,west Kalimantan and to permanently establish an Indonesian presence there.

Land around the airfield will also be expanded into an military outpost and expects around 500 personnel from the Army and Navy will be stationed there to respond to any "Malaysian provocations". Recently there has been confrontations between the Indonesian and Malaysian navies at the waters off Tanjung Datu,at the border of the Malaysian state of Sarawak and the Indonesian province of Kalimantan.

Imo, we should play these issue properly.
Somehow I felt these have something to do with their presidential election on july.
Subainto might using these to regain city votes.

Indon menggelupur tak tentu pasal...    

The beacon is within Malaysia..Why we need to communicate with indonesia?

No to prabowo please

letak beacon tower aka port memancing sebijik pun dah menggelupur...tu lum letak Jaeger lagik..

Ramai manpower pun tak tentu makin bagus ke tidak. Banyak negara ASEAN manpower ramai,tapi askar kerahan (Conscript) macam Thailand, Vietnam & Singapore. Malaysia fully professional army,tu yang askar sikit tapi belanja banyak,sebab service time panjang, training lebih & gaji lagi tinggi. Askar kerahan dah la kena bayar elaun aje,train basic tactics & pastu service time 12-18 bulan aje.

Banyak pros & cons antara sistem askar professional dengan askar kerahan ni.

Not surprising in regards of Indonesia's size and the nature of its scattered archipelago. Furthermore unlike Malaysia which is historically relatively peaceful (except during emergency period) Indonesia has in the past and is still plagued by separatist movements like in Acheh, Maluku and Irian Jaya. So a large armed forces are deployed to keep the (many) separatist movements of the far provinces under control.

Unlike Malaysia which has a Federation-style government where each of the constituent states has its own government and each state has a great deal of freedom in how each state governs itself. Putrajaya actually only has power over federal matters,for example national defense & international relations and in theory,don't have the right to say how each state should be ruled,only how much to allocate the national budget to each state.            (Putrajaya bagi duit,suka hati la setiap negeri nak buat apa) 

Indonesia is a Unitary-style government where all government power is concentrated in Jakarta. Everything each province does in terms of development and upkeep has to follow Jakarta's say so. Power is delegated to each province only as much as Jakarta sees fit. But obviously sometimes Jakarta-appointed governors don't follow local customs and culture. That's why for provincial people (Achenese, Papuan) with distinct cultural differences from Javanese people in Jakarta actually don't like being ruled by Indonesia and try to secede.

Same with Thailand where,for example,Malay ethnic Muslim peoples of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are forced to learn speak Siamese language in everyday matters. One of the reasons why the three southern Thai provinces want more autonomy powers within Thailand. The people are ethnic Malays and have little in common with the Siamese people who run the government in Bangkok, but is forced to live by Siamese and Buddhist values. Ditto the Philippines, Muslim Moro peoples have been forced to live by Catholic christian values from Tagalog peoples who make up the central government in Manila. No wonder separatism is alive and well in those countries.

Tiba2 citer national politics pulak
