For reference, this is the kind of report other countries can come up with, providing information which the public should know about how their tax dollars (pounds) are being used. Does anybody think SUPER-SENSITIVE TOPPEST SECRET INFORMASI is being leaked here? No. But it is useful to the people who actually pay for the stuff.

And this is the kind of readiness information which is allowed to be shared. Not too detailed, nor is it information which would be very useful to an enemy (whose spies would already have known in real time during the incident) but useful for the public to know whether the armed forces are doing their job, or slacking off under the guise of "combat readiness military secrecy"...

No, because it's still a better answer than we usually get. Do our Msian exercises freely disclose exactly how many of what is allocated for use?

The information does not have to be real time. Maybe it can come 1 month later, or 2 months, or half a year - that will make it much less useful for any enemy spies, and yet provides *some* information to us.

As if Mindef will ever give us anything like this:

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/syste...lity_Report.pdf

eh, I consider it abit cheating to google just for the sake of "proving" I know it

but I knew it was not in use. has been mentioned before here, and elsewhere... Mkini if I'm not wrong.

There are also announcements available about deployments and sailing times, OSD dates for all but the most sensitive hardware and equipment and key milestones in procurement e.g. F-35 program.

Mindef is giving nowhere near that level of accountability and transparency, stop trying to pretend it is.

DDG_Ross *googles* I'm not wrong

http://www.malaysiakini.com/news/191037

"Kapal selam berkenaan yang merupakan platform latihan bawah permukaan air bagi krew-krew pelatih TLDM sebelum mengoperasikan kapal selam konvensional sebenar kelas Perdana Menteri kini diabadikan sebagai muzium di kompleks Muzium Maritim, Klebang di Melaka."

those are routine, periodic, official publications not responses to specific requests.

As DDG say... google kan ada

Huh? Google for official SG Mindef publications la, if any

Dont you think it would help if every year Mindef posts a proper annual report indicating exactly how much what costs, what is the projected future expenditure for what assets, etc rather than surprising people with requests for money and not revealing how, where, when and why it is used because of "top secret readiness military secret"

Typically getting info from Mindef even for veteran reporter like Msiandefence is like squeezng blood from stone... but of course we all know there's lots of good reasons why close public scrutiny of Mindef spending would not be encouraged

Read further upthread, you will have all the reasons, and examples of reports from other armed forces.

Audit and price comparison is exactly right. Not a system of "gimme all this money, we will spend it for your proteksyen but you cannot know how or why or when or who..."
Exactly
If you do not google you will never find out

Dont politicise everything. Asking for better accountability is not related to politics. JANGAN PERSOAL is a very irresponsible way of running things.

Foreign intel have better ways of getting information. This is not even highly sensitive materials. Other more advanced more combat-experienced armed forces have no trouble publishing it. And it is not time sensitive operational data, it is financial data very relevant to the taxpaying rakyat. Why do we have such big hangups with TOP SECRETZ INFORMASI...?

....unless of course the data demonstrates that Mindef has not been spending money wisely....

Later I look.

Why do you say that I say SAF Orbat can be googled? Isn't it you who said it, not me?

Yeah so google yourself lah
I didnt give guarantee can find

But where's the famous FAMAS?

Sukahati you
Dok diam2 je lah and feel butthurt why nobody appreciate

Auditor gen report also ignored in this country anyway

A little bit
Auditor work never appreciated

People waiting to see how it performs in more operations first I think. For one thing, it has a rather small ammo magazine.

What's the status on those M109s coming to us BTW?

Its only good for hunting terrorists now, and its overpowered for that.

Exactly.

Well probably not STK Terrex since our neighbours probably won't like it but even if we bought Boxer, the world's most expensive IFV (other than ours) we could have gotten more/paid less.

Conveniently no km marks and use F-35 graphic, as if it's actually much use against F-35

Its an upgraded M113. That's about it really...

uh, more like same as M113 Ultra.

Bionix can actually tahan RPG-7 IINM.
