Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia's purchase of two Scorpene submarines can help the country ensure its territories are safe from intrusion.

A second Marine has died of injuries suffered in the training exercise crash of an MV-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircraft on the island of Oahu in Hawaii, the Marine Corps said Wednesday.

The Marine's family was notified but his name was not immediately released. He died early Wednesday at a hospital in Oahu, the Marine Corps said. Two other Marines who were aboard the Osprey remain hospitalized in stable condition, said Capt. Brian Block, a spokesman for the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit.

Defending Malaysia - 11th Malaysia Plan

Early today, I received excerpt of speech by our Defence Minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein in the Parliament with regards of the 11th Malaysia Plan.  The content of the speech is to me very disturbing.  I will let you be the judge of it.

________________________________________
KUALA LUMPUR: Menteri Pertahanan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein hari ini berkata perbelanjaan untuk Rancangan Malaysia ke-11 (RMK-11) perlulah bersandarkan kepada kemampuan dan keperluan yang sedia ada.

Menurutnya, tiada guna pihak kerajaan membincangkan sesuatu perkara, sekiranya tidak mampu membiayainya kerana tindakan itu hanya akan menimbulkan masalah.

“Apa jua yang kita miliki mesti tepat dan berhubung kait dengan ancaman yang terpaksa kita hadapi. "Dan ancaman hari ini mungkin berbeza daripada yang kita hadapi dahulu… kemunculan IS dan sebagainya,” kata Hishammuddin ketika ditemui pemberita di lobi Parlimen, pada Rabu.

Bagaimanapun, katanya tidak ada guna jika negara memiliki aset-aset yang canggih sedangkan ancaman yang diterima hanyalah ancaman yang asas.

Beliau mengulas tentang peruntukan RMK11 bagi sektor pertahanan, di mana beliau menekankan tiga prinsip yang perlu disandarkan iaitu kemampuan, tahap ancaman dan pihak-pihak berkepentingan.

“Masa untuk kita membeli aset dengan sewenang-wenangnya tanpa memikir kepada tiga perkara asas tadi telah pun berlalu di bawah kepimpinan saya dalam kementerian ini,” kata Hishammuddin lagi.

This hisaputin totally hopeless

KUALA LUMPUR, May 21 (Bernama) -- Sweden is looking forward to enhance cooperation with Malaysia, especially in the defence industry.

Its ambassador to Malaysia, Bengt G. Carlsson said his government looked forward to working together with the Malaysian Government.

He hoped Malaysia would "support" Swedish companies such as the aerospace and defence company, SAAB Group.

"So far, we have good relations and I hope we can enhance (the relations) in the defence industry.

"We are hoping for (to secure) successful contracts with our companies," he told reporters after attending a lecture on 'Combat Air System: Future Development, Challenges and Way Forward at the National Defence University of Malaysia' here today.

He noted the relationship between the two friendly nations were growing and they had enhanced ties substantially.

Diplomatic relations between Sweden and Malaysia were established in 1958.
