How the Royal Malaysian Navy plans to combat trans-border maritime threats in the Sabah region

Patrol boat crew gets taste of Malaysian hospitality




HMAS Larrakia departed the port of Sandakan, Malaysian Borneo, on September 22, after a two-day stopover.

The Armidale Class Patrol Boat, with Attack 4 embarked, is one week into a six-week South East Asian Deployment.

After the necessary refueling and restoring at Sandakan, the crew took in some of the cultural sights on offer in the city that was made infamous by the WWII death marches undertaken by allied prisoners of war.

“Despite our short time in Sandakan, we managed to squeeze a fair bit in,” said Lieutenant Commander Dave McPherson, Attack Four’s Commanding Officer.

“The tour of the Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre and the visit to the Sandakan Prisoner of War Memorial Gardens were by far the highlights of the visit,” he said.

Approximately 2700 Australian and British POWs were interned in a Japanese prisoner of war camp at Sandakan from 1942, most of whom were captured during the fall of Singapore.

The prisoners were used as forced labour to build a military airstrip, however in 1945, with the war in the Pacific turning, the Japanese forced the surviving prisoners to march to the isolated settlement of Ranau, North Borneo - only six were to survive.

“I think each crew member who visited the Memorial Gardens came away with a greater appreciation of the tragic hardships suffered by the prisoners of war who were in Sandakan during that period of time,” Lieutenant Commander McPherson said.

While alongside, Lieutenant Commander McPherson and a number of crew members also visited the Sandakan Royal Malaysian Naval (RMN) base where they were entertained by RMN personnel.

Larrakia will also visit Vietnam, Palau and the Philippines, where she will take part in Exercise LUMBAS 2014, an annual bilateral maritime exercise between Australia and the Phillipines.

Larrakia will also take part in the 70th commemoration of the Battle of the Leyte Gulf.

- Sukhoi Su-35 ..... problem with spare parts, some are made in Ukraine
- Sukhoi Su-30 MKI ..... Indian Su-30MKI has readiness issues
- F-15 SE Silent Eagle ...... Nice but expensive, not much cheaper than F-35
- Eurofighter Typhoon ...... Nice, but expensive and will be outdated soon
- Dassault Rafale-B ..... Nice, but expensive and will be outdated soon
- JAS-39 Gripen NG ...... Nice, but expensive, has short combat range and will be outdated soon
- F-18 E/F Super Hornet ... Australia has it, so what
- F-16 E/F Block 60/62 .....not impressive, just a modernized old platform

Performance-wise, I prefer Su-35....but unfortunately it has parts problems and operation/maintenance is expensive

if they could make a supersonic version of the Textron Airland Scorpion, then it can be a potential F-5 successor.

i think is f22, f35 is latter programme

Indonesia has the capability to make their own commercial planes, they suppose be able to roll out their indigineous jet similar to HESA Saeqeh by now..

I think its F-35. The competition is to find a Joint Strike Fighter,the Lockheed Martin X-35 won. The X-35 later became the F-35.
F-22 emerged from Advanced tactical Fighter program in the 1980s.
