Macam familiar.

They also suggesting operating f35b from it

So is that wrong? I mean, can't you operate F-35B from the canberra deck?

Isn't it supposed to be LHD?

Btw I think these must have something to do with presidential election.

If it is, then why they need ski ramp?

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.

Ah,as we're at this issue:

Indonesian Presidential candidate accused of the 'dissapearances' of dissenters

Indonesian presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto is accused to have help arrange 'disappearances' of political dissenters,mostly students. Prabowo,who is formerly a commander with Indonesian Special Forces, KOPASSUS, and son-in-law to the late dictator Suharto has been accused of complicit involvement on the kidnapping and disappearance of up to 13 people in the last years of the Orde Baru period under Suharto.

Prabowo has denied these charges,claiming he is being made a scapegoat and someone is out to sabotage his candidacy.

News Link:Prabowo ordered by Suharto to kidnap activists

As I always say.....it all started with Sipadan/Ligitan, which is followed by numerous incidents. Indonesians feel offended or perhaps "betrayed" by Malaysians who take advantage of Indonesia during its weaker times.

Tanjung Datu incident shouldn't happen if Malaysia communicated with Indonesia before constructing the beacon tower.

Indon menggelupur tak tentu pasal...    

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

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

No to prabowo please

How come? Jokowi and Prabowo has no control on armed forces at all. They are still candidates....

SBY and his party, Partai Demokrat, is outside of the presidential race, after declaring neutrality and doesn't support any candidate. SBY gains nothing from this.

No to prabowo please

agreed..
a president who was formerly a commando/spy is very unpredictable..
look at Putin (ex-KGB), even Obama very wary of him.. 
Putin the best example for this, and now he has invaded Ukraine, his country's neighbour..
only God knows what will happen if Prabowo wins.. 

No, there's a strong reason to establish presence in Tanjung Datu. Construction of tower in Tanjung Datu is caused by lack of TNI presence there.

This is not an attempt to escalate conflict, but to prevent further incident and "maintain peace".
