Brigadier-General Toh Choon Siang assume command of 11th Infantry Brigade

Brigadier-General Toh Choon Siang ® receives the commander's baton from outgoing 11th Infantry Brigade commander Brigadier-General Abdul Kadir Ahmad in the presence of the 4th Infantry Division commander, Major-General Zakaria Yadi

Brigadier-General Toh Choon Siang,58, assumes command of the 11th Infantry Brigade based at Sungai Buloh, Selangor.

It is also significant as a perfect Malaysia Day (Sept 16) gift for the diminutive, Johor-born officer who is the first Chinese to command the strategic brigade responsible for the defence of Selangor and the federal administrative capital of Putrajaya.

Looking back, Toh has no regrets in boldly quitting secondary school prematurely in 1977, to perform national service.

“This command is a great honour for me, especially for my late father who himself had served the nation in two capacities.

“So did my three elder brothers who did military service during the trying times of the communist insurgency and Emergency period (in the 60s and 70s),” said Toh, a full-blooded ranger.

On Sept 6, he replaced Brig Gen Abdul Kadir Ahmad, who has opted for early retirement, as the brigade’s 21st commander.

Toh was previously the senior director of the Malaysian Institute of Defence and Security’s (MiDAS) Blue Ocean Strategy Centre since May 2014.

Toh’s father is Robert Toh Boon Hock who had served the British Royal Air Force during the Japanese Occupation of Malaya, and when the war ended joined the Royal Malaysian Customs Department until his retirement in 1976.

His eldest brother Cdr (Rtd) Toh Tiap Keng served the Royal Malaysian Navy for 33 years, while his two elder brothers Capt (Rtd) Toh Choon Hong and Flight Sgt (Rtd) Toh Choon Kooi both served the Royal Malaysian Air Force for 25 years.

What I hope can add as an improvement to the ATM is in addition to KAGAT, to develop the establishment of religious chaplains for, at least, soldiers of the Christian faith (monotheist religion like Islam and Christianity perhaps easier, other faiths like Hindu or Taoisme or other chinese folk religions possibly a bit problematic to have chaplains, as most are polyeisthic and have no central deity. Different people worship different deities within the same religion.)

I find it strange that there is currently no provision for worship and religious services for soldiers of other faiths, especially with Christians (especially from the Sabah and Sarawak natives) a major presence in the Ranger Regiments.

Making a move like this would probably strengthen recruitment from other races to join the military. As of now most other races see it to be a mostly Islamic Malay-exclusive army.

Even US military with very small number of Muslim soldiers (5,000-6,000) have Islamic imams to lead prayers and administer religious matters.

Wah, seriously I did not know this. ohmy.gif

Is this just happen to be a church inside the camp or there are some ordained military chaplains in the many army camps and in the field? Also are they under an official military establishment i.e KAGAT?

i think none as its not as regimented like the kagat
even if you look back at the history of atm, religious service is actually a recent thing
kagat only formed in the 80s which is like only 30 years ago

This guys is screwed mega_shok.gif

Strong leadership is important, and more so given the evolving security threats. Join us as we speak to Officer Cadet (OCT) Jang Wook and OCT Kimberley Chia about their 38-week journey at the Officer Cadet School, Singapore, and the responsibilities that come with being newly commissioned officers of the Singapore Armed Forces.



Apparently Lt. Jang Wook is the son of Korean Jang Jung, Perak FA and Sg Lions Defender that had won the Malaysian Cup twice and even went on to coach Perak FA. Why is his son screwed? Because he might have to serve NS both in Sg and Korea. laugh.gif

I think what he is saying is that for all of its high-tech status, the SAF remained unbloodied by any sort of active conflict.

Meanwhile, the Malaysian Armed forces has been literally in some sort of armed conflict in one form or another for probably nearly 2/3 of its existence. From the Konfrontasi era, the Emergency era and the Communist Insurgency era (plus the recent Lahad Datu incident), Malaysian military and police personnel have fought and died in actual combat.

Malaysian soldiers and police paramilitary units have patrolled deep jungles actually crawling with hostile enemies, plus lethally hidden landmines and booby traps in the undergrowth. Helicopters have actually transported soldiers to hot landing zones and evacuated the dead & wounded from search and destroy operations. Artillery units actually shelled enemy positions. TUDM planes actually flew ground attack missions and actually bombed & killed people. The Navy and Marine police actually patrolled riverways to interdict enemy movements and supply efforts.

As for the number of enemies, by the CIA and US State Dept estimates, in 1976 there are around 2,500 armed and trained communist insurgents in Malaysia. This is thought to be the peak of the communist insurgent's numbers as the end of the Vietnam war greatly bolstered the reputation and support of the Malaysian communists.

As comparison, during the peak of the 1950s Emergency era, there was probably around 6,000 armed and trained insurgents.

To try and get a picture of that, imagine the Lahad Datu incident, multiply the enemy forces by 25 and make it last for 21 years.

Indonesian Navy outlines specifications for seventh LPD

Ridzwan Rahmat - IHS Jane's Navy International
18 September 2017

Key Points

* The Indonesian Navy is finalising parameters for a seventh landing platform dock ship
* Vessel is projected to be the most complex LPD yet, given its secondary role as a command ship

The Indonesian Navy (Tentara Nasional Indonesia – Angkatan Laut, or TNI-AL) is in the process of outlining requirements for a seventh landing platform dock (LPD) ship, and is expected to request a sum of about USD72 million from the government for this acquisition, sources from the service’s headquarters in Cilangkap confirmed with Jane’s on 18 September.

This information has since been corroborated with an official from shipbuilder PT PAL in Surabaya, who confirmed that the company is in discussions with TNI-AL for a seventh LPD, but emphasised that a formal contract for the platform has yet to materialise. “The LPD is similar to the five vessels [already in fleet] and the one under construction, but it will be more complex”, the official told Jane’s , without giving further details.

PT PAL laid down the keel for the sixth vessel in Surabaya on 28 August. The platform is based on a design by South Korea's Dae Sun Shipbuilding and Engineering. The shipyard had previously constructed two similar platforms, KRI Banjarmasin (592) and KRI Banda Aceh (593), for the TNI–AL in-country.

West Java police foils terrorist plot against Indonesian President Joko Widodo

user posted image

JAKARTA - Police in Indonesia's West Java on Monday (Sept 18) foiled a plot to attack President Joko Widodo and his security detail, after they arrested a 31-year-old militant with five Molotov cocktails, or petrol bombs.

The suspect was nabbed near a helicopter landing pad at Penggung Airport in Cirebon, a city in West Java province, where President Joko, better known as Jokowi, was visiting on Tuesday for a cultural festival.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the suspect, identified by the police by the initials "IM", is a member of the Jemaah Ansharut Daulah (JAD), a local terrorist network with ties to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The JAD has also been behind a series of attacks in Indonesia recently.

West Java police spokesman Umar Surya Fana told Detik News that aside from the Molotov cocktails, the suspect was also carrying, among other items, a bayonet, an Airsoft replica of a pistol, as well as a note with an invitation for jihad.

Malaysians in Rakhine to fight army: KL top cop

user posted image

A group of Malaysians is in Myanmar to take up arms against the country's army, whose offensive against insurgents has led more than 400,000 Rohingya Muslims to flee the crackdown in Rakhine state.

Malaysian police chief Mohamad Fuzi Harun, who disclosed this yesterday, added that intelligence showed there were other Malaysians preparing to fight the Myanmar army. "We are determining how many of them are there (in Myanmar) and how many are planning to leave Malaysia (for Myanmar)," Tan Sri Mohamad Fuzi, the Inspector-General of Police, told The Straits Times yesterday.

He said that Malaysians keen to fight in Myanmar were recruited by fighters in Malaysia and Rakhine.

As for those who have already gone to Myanmar, they are believed to have entered the country from Bangladesh and Thailand.

"We are still investigating," Mr Mohamad Fuzi said.

It is not known whether those Malaysians have launched any attack.

On Sunday, Malaysian police confirmed that some Malaysians, backed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) militant group, are engaging in an armed struggle against the Myanmar government.

BATTLES CLOSER TO HOME

Myanmar's proximity to Malaysia encouraged ISIS to act in Rakhine. Myanmar is closer to Malaysia than Syria and the southern Philippines, where the conflict is ongoing, and now Rakhine has become their latest destination for 'jihad'.
