It is the government cabinet meeting who will decide what to buy. Not the army.

malaysia might run into money issue to buy and maintain. 5th gen is a make up of many systems, just the fighter plane itself cost a fortune. The cheapest to maintain will still be the SU-57, it is not really full stealth because the real RAM coating is extremely expensive and maintainance nightmare, the Russian has to cut corners due to war and limited research
*
I think by then 5th gen also become mainstream and cheaper

F35A and J35 is becoming cheaper than some 4.5gen fighter because its being mass produced in thousands

F35A and J35 still very high in price. As far as i know China is not in any hurry to fulfil any international order, F35A sales really depending on US mood, it will go up because of rare earth price and the price paid by every country is really different, like tiers. China on the other hand now prefer cash or gold and which friend tiers. those barter trade days using palm oil are over. Even Iran trying to buy J-10 China told them to fucuk off. Maybe Russia still ok with palm oil trade

MB339 and HAWK not filled by FA50 in light attack/fighter/trainer role?
Mig29, need F18C/D from Kuwait.

Yes the LCA but the hawk actually can do more which is why the mudmovers is still operating. One of the best decision by the brast aircraft advance air combat with AIM missile firing capabilities.

Given mof budget allocation and medium term risks assessment, anti ship capability should has higher priority than air superiority.

MRCA - Multirole Combat Aircraft
So they can do all task.

F22 is no longer in production, even USAF wants to get more units also can't without extreme cost to restart an upgraded line.

US will not sell F35 to us la. Even Taiwan did not get F35.
*
ROC did not get because because of risk of RedChina spying

We dont have this problem. If Sinkie can get F35, no reason RMAF can not get provided we have enough funds. Maybe can get discount also

The amount of free stuff the US gave us (long range radar, Boeing drones, patrol aircraft upgrade) we can get it

Just need to say the magic words. We act as first line of defense against RedChina
