TLDM Fleet Open Day at Lumut Naval Base 20 & 21 April 2019



People have the opportunity to take a closer look at the assets of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) including warships during the Fleet Open Day at Lumut Naval Base this weekend.

The two-day annual event from Saturday is held in conjunction with the 85th Anniversary of the RMN.

According to a Statement from Strategic Relations Division of the Western Fleet Administration, various activities were organized on that day aimed at bringing people closer to the RMN.

Among them, visits to warships, air assets exhibitions, weapons technology and combat demonstrations by the Special Forces (PASKAL) involving Super Lynx and Fennec helicopters.

"TLDM warships and helicopters will be open for visits from 9am to 7pm. Also open exhibition booths are various government agencies such as APMM and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission.

"For the first time, the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) fighter aircraft also conduct a military demonstration.

"So for those who did not have the opportunity to witness the Langkawi Air and Maritime Exhibition 2019 (LIMA '19) on Langkawi Island, Kedah, they can attend Lumut to witness the show from the RMAF," said the statement.

The celebration was themed 'Armada Perkasa, RMN Siaga' synonymous with the role of RMN to safeguard the sovereignty of the country's waters.

According to the statement, there was also a coloring competition for children as well as dental and health screening services opened to the public.

"The RMN Band Brass Band and the Quadrants will also be performing in the evening of the two days.

"In addition to the exhibition booth, there are about 40 food and beverage sales stalls as well as food truck services are also available," said the statement.

Last year, the Armada Open Day attracted about 60,000 visitors and the number is expected to increase this year including coming from abroad.
