Nothing much. Mig29 would put on limited usage. I dun think tudm want to upgrade it either. Well in the end it all depend on our political landscape changes which wind are blowing quite heavily. Not going to touch too much on its.

wonder what the heck happen to najib...when he's the defence minister, everything looks so well for the armed forces..getting upgrades and new toys..
when he's become PM, i thought our military will gain more benefit..how wrong i was..
time is different, 2003+ that time no big project in Malaysia, gov have money to bought military asset, and sosial media and news website no yet become trend. only politician make noise 1-2 day in newspaper than gone. after 2008++ social media and internet news website become trend and grow fast with FB,Twitter, politician and people free to complaint and write story at there， with in 1 sec click, every one know。 other than that, price now new military price is increase huge compare to 2000an specially after 2010+, more system/electronic/complex.

right if tudm opt to upgrade now then we already going to have a loop hole in the interceptor role
so I dont think that the upgrade will be happened unless a replacement or interim is known in this short time
The Air Force Wants to Go Hypersonic in the Next Decade
Using technologies first tested with the X-51, the Air Force wants to build a hypersonic jet by 2023.
The service already has outlined a few parameters for the new jet: It must be able to go Mach 5, or 3,806 miles per hour. It should use a scramjet engine, which largely relies on swift airflow for oxidation to propel the plane forward. And it needs to be able to operate at the scalding-hot temperatures created by the friction at speeds far exceeding the speed of sound.
Thanks to X-51 tests, the military knows that scramjet technology is feasible (though some hypersonic tests over the past few years didn't go quite so well). Mach 5 is also just the beginning. The eventual goal is to reach speeds up to Mach 10, which is ... very, very fast. It's about 7,612 mph, or almost fast enough to travel the entire diameter of the world in the space of an hour.
Because of the speeds reached, these vehicles are likely to be unmanned, and some of the technology may be incorporated into new weapons developed by the military.
those mega project is to stimulate our worsening economy in particular the construction
It keeping contractors, consultant and suppliers up and running. If no such mega projects, we would be in a worse economic slumps with rising unemployment. That time our armed forces will be worse off with no budget.
the only thing i would say our PM did was launching those transportation projects. It helps the city center transport and still keeping the economy running until for the next 10 years or so i would say.
agree， construction industry in Malaysia always is momentum for GDP grow, with every year with double digit grow. went our GDP archive higher than allocation for defense will be increase.

Nothing wrong with putting more budget on mega project like mrt and so on. but the government have to ensure they need to put effort into military spending as well. if the government really pouring much more effort in esscom/esszone we wont have much terrible state in sabah and we can ensure our tourism industry hit that badly. We got to have balance in managing our economy, security and so on. too bad politician always underestimate the needs of investing in security and that goes for both camp. There is also lots of issue I dun wan to bring into these thread especially on the mismanagement of public fund. anyway let put a break on politics stuff here. thanks.

PETALING JAYA - Negative spin - that's how Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has described speculation that he may resign from the Cabinet soon.
"No i am not - 'negative spin' by some irresponsible people," he tweeted Wednesday morning, in response to a Twitter follower who asked if he was really quitting.
Since Tuesday, social media has been rife with rumours that Hishammuddin might quit within 48 hours, following his tweeted response to the Prime Minister's reported ultimatum to Cabinet members last Friday.
Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak had reportedly told the Cabinet to "stand with him or resign" over the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) issue.
In response, Hishammuddin had tweeted that he agreed with the ultimatum but set three conditions - that there be rationalisation of 1MDB, accountability and transparency.

Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi told the New Straits Times that he would present his case to the cabinet today on why it was more crucial than ever for enforcement agencies guarding the borders to be relieved of their duties. He wants them to be replaced with the military. “I cannot tolerate this. That is why I will take this up with the cabinet tomorrow (today) to ask that the army takes over fully. “It is high time for the army to be put in charge of the borders as it is not only about security, but also defence. It is the country’s first line of defence and I have always felt that this should be the way, even when I was defence minister. “The issue of institutionalised corruption, where these law enforcement officers know the syndicate members well, must be arrested once and for all,” he said. Zahid said he would also raise the issue of the country’s perimeter fencing, which was practically non-existent. “When even nations with electrical, high, concrete fencing had to grapple with the problem of encroachment, imagine the problem we are facing. Our border areas that are being penetrated are not rat lanes (lorong tikus). They are elephant lanes that are easily accessible.” He added that the Malaysian Anti-Smuggling Unit should also operate beyond its fixed checkpoints at the border to arrest rampant smuggling.
SUIT LIVES ON IN DREAMS OF SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMANDERS
QUOTE
The U.S. military command in charge of special operations is betting tens of millions of dollars on a science fiction suit that would wrap troops in high-tech body armor and effectively afford them superhuman abilities.
Speaking last month in Tampa, Florida at the Special Operations Forces Industry Conference (SOFIC) — an annual gathering of elite military decision-makers and their partners in the private sector — the new commander of Special Operations Command (SOCOM), Army Gen. Joseph Votel, said the Tactical Assault Light Operator Suit, otherwise known as TALOS, is “on track.”
But behind the scenes, critics continue to question whether the military’s “Iron Man” suit would ever be used in battle.
TALOS figured prominently in this year’s conference, which featured a large banner dedicated to the suit hanging above the expo floor. The banner depicted the May 2015 cover of National Defense magazine, which read, “SOCOM ‘Iron Man’ Suit: Pipe Dream or Reality?”
