Other than single engine, is there any gripen weak point from rmaf requirement
the dual engine requirement have both its advance and disadvantage. Though the preference is dual engine, if single is cost effective, RMAF would take it nonetheless

gov kalau takde orang push depa, memang takkan buat punya
problem is with the citizens..if citizens buat dunno je about defence and only look at gst like they're doing now, then gov won't do anything much about defence..if citizens demand for more defence budget, set up rallies n demos about it, be vocal about it..only then gov baru nak terkial2 give more budget..
macam indon and vietnam. But they have conflict tat why urge military spending publicly
here? we downplay it so much that another nation entering our territory is less important than the GST or political survival of its political leader

I disagree.
Rather the government is not looking at military seriously.
more worrying me is all politician does not emphasize and take military seriously be whichever camp they came from.
we are lacking of real military modernisation planning and also white paper analaysis on our military.
we are also lacking of good procurement process which allowed too many leakage and allowed politician to meddle the procurement process.
Sigh.
Either party is doomed for the military anyway. One assume using
LTZ in sampan with guns enough to deter china while another busy with their own political survival
That why i rather advocate a military leader inside MOD rather than elected one that take national defence for granted
U give this much, the military will plan what to buy, procurement and make all the necessary action without interference
