Kawasan tu strategik untuk komersial, maknanya hitung darab dah buat dan pulangan untuk pasti berganda ganda pemaju dan konco2 doang akan dapat, jadik tak kisahlah modal gantirugi yg perlu dorang tampung.
TUDM sg besi mmg ada dalam sejarah, maklumlah tempat bersejarah kita mesti terkilan sbb tempat ni nak dibangunkan. Faktor positif pindah pun mesti ada jugak kan?

TLDM sasar miliki 18 kapal perang
2010/05/06
LUMUT: Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) akan mempergiatkan usaha mengganti peralatan pertahanan negara yang usang dengan peralatan canggih sebagai usaha menyediakan sebuah armada laut elit yang setanding dengan pasukan pertahanan laut di rantau ini, kata Panglima Tentera Laut, Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar.
Katanya, bagi tujuan itu, kerajaan telah bersetuju untuk meneruskan rancangan pembinaan enam kapal peronda (PV) generasi kedua serta empat kapal latihan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-10 (RMK-10).
"Pembinaan aset canggih itu perlu bagi menggantikan tujuh peratus aset TLDM yang sudah usang dan dibimbangi akan memberi kesan terhadap operasi keseluruhan angkatan laut negara," katanya kepada pemberita selepas upacara pentauliahan KD Kelantan di Pangkalan TLDM di sini, hari ini.
Abdul Aziz berkata, TLDM kini mempunyai enam kapal perang iaitu lima yang telah ditauliahkan manakala satu lagi akan ditauliahkan pada hujung tahun ini.
Katanya, sasaran TLDM adalah untuk mempunyai sekurang-kurang 18 buah kapal perang bagi melengkapkan tahap kesiagaan pasukan itu bagi mengawasi perairan negara.
"Dengan pembinaan enam lagi menerusi perancangan RMK-10, bakinya diharap akan dapat dilaksanakan pula pada RMK-11.
"Penyertaan aset ini bakal memantapkan lagi keupayaan tempur armada TLDM dalam merealisasikan hasrat utama rakyat dan kerajaan Malaysia terhadap kewujudan TLDM dalam mempertahankan integriti perairan negara," katanya.
Kapal KD Kelantan yang ditauliahkan itu adalah kapal ketiga yang dibina sepenuhnya oleh limbungan tempatan selepas KD Perak dan KD Terengganu.
Hadir sama pada upacara itu ialah Panglima Armada, Laksamana Madya Datuk Seri Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badarudin, dan Pengarah Urusan Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Bhd, Tan Sri Ahmad Ramli Mohd Nor. -
KD Duyong diiktiraf Malaysia Book of Records
2010/05/08
LUMUT: Kapal Diraja (KD) Duyong mendapat pengiktirafan Malaysia Book of Records (MBR) kerana menjadi organisasi pertama dalam Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) dan Kementerian Pertahanan menerima pensijilan standard piawaian keselamatan dan kesihatan pekerjaan (OHSAS) 18001:2007.
Unit KD Duyong yang menyediakan perkhidmatan dan latihan menyelam di Pangkalan Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) di sini, mendapat pensijilan kualiti itu pada 10 Disember lalu.
Dua lagi unit dalam TLDM turut menerima pensijilan berkenaan iaitu Markas Udara pada 28 Disember tahun lalu dan Depot Senggaraan Armada pada 5 Januari lalu.
Penyampaian sijil disempurnakan Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, di atas kapal KD Lekiu, di sini, semalam.
Pada majlis itu, Ahmad Zahid turut menerima anugerah beret kehormat Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) dan sayap penerbangan kehormat yang disempurnakan Panglima TLDM, Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar.
Ahmad Zahid pada sidang medianya berkata, pensijilan diberikan terhadap unit dalam TLDM membuktikan pasukan itu mengamalkan kaedah pekerjaan selamat sehingga melayakkannya menerima pengiktirafan itu.
Katanya, setakat ini banyak unit dalam ATM khususnya pasukan elit termasuk Paskal diiktiraf antara yang yang terbaik di dunia dan diberi pengiktirafan oleh beberapa organisasi di peringkat antarabangsa.
Katanya, peranan dilakukan TLDM pada peringkat antarabangsa juga khususnya ketika melakukan Ops Fajar di Teluk Aden, Somalia, bukan saja menerima pengiktirafan masyarakat maritim dunia tetapi dijadikan penanda aras baru dalam menjaga aset negara di perairan antarabangsa.
“Tindakan Ops Fajar berjaya membantu syarikat perkapalan kita menyelamatkan banyak barang dagangan daripada serangan pengganas ketika belayar di perairan antarabangsa,” katanya.
“Apa yang lebih penting beberapa kaedah untuk mengiringi kapal dagang dan menjaga keselamatan anak kapal yang dilakukan TLDM dalam Ops Fajar ditiru beberapa negara lain. Ini satu kebanggaan untuk TLDM secara keseluruhan,”
Khidmat pemerintah KD Sri Inderapura ditamat
Oleh Shamsul Kamal Amarudin
bhnews@bharian.com.my
2010/05/08
LUMUT: Bekas Pegawai Memerintah Kapal Diraja (KD) Sri Inderapura, ditamatkan perkhidmatannya dalam Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) selepas mahkamah tentera mendapati pegawai terbabit bersalah atas dua pertuduhan berhubung kebakaran teruk kapal berkenaan pada 8 Oktober tahun lalu sehingga tidak boleh digunakan lagi.
Panglima Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar, berkata mahkamah tentera membuat keputusan itu pada 27 Januari lalu dan disahkan pihak pengurusan ATM bulan lalu.
Katanya, ia adalah keputusan yang menyedihkan kerana pegawai berkenaan sudah memberikan perkhidmatan cemerlang dalam TLDM sehingga dinaikkan ke pangkat Kapten setara dengan Kolonel untuk perkhidmatan darat dan udara.
“Tetapi, oleh kerana keperluan perkhidmatan, beliau terpaksa ditamatkan perkhidmatannya kerana setiap perkara yang berlaku harus dipertanggungjawabkan kepada Pegawai Memerintah.
“Beliau bertanggungjawab atas kehilangan kapal kerana ini kes pertama membabitkan kebakaran teruk sehingga kehilangan aset kerajaan,” katanya pada sidang media selepas majlis penganugerahan beret kehormat Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) dan sayap penerbangan kehormat kepada Menteri Pertahanan, Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi serta penyampaian sijil OHSAS 18001:2007
di Pangkalan TLDM Lumut di sini semalam.
Sri Inderapura yang berusia 40 tahun dan banyak melakukan tugasan logistik dan operasi, mengalami kebakaran besar pada 8 Oktober tahun lalu dan kebakaran kedua sehari kemudian, mengakibatkannya tidak dapat beroperasi lagi dan kini sudah hampir tenggelam di perairan Lumut.
Berikutan itu, TLDM menjalankan siasatan terperinci berhubung kebakaran itu dan membuat keputusan mendakwa Pegawai Memerintah Sri Inderapura ketika kejadian itu berlaku, di mahkamah tentera pada 25 Januari lalu.
Kapal berkenaan dilucutkan tauliahnya sebagai Kapal Diraja (KD) pada 21 Januari lalu memberi banyak jasa kepada perkhidmatan dan negara seperti bertugas dalam Ops Fajar mengiringi kapal dagang milik Malaysia di Teluk Aden, Somalia, pertengahan tahun lalu bagi mengelak serangan lanun.
Abdul Aziz berkata, sebelum ini memang ada kes kebakaran membabitkan aset dan kapal milik TLDM tetapi kapal berkenaan berjaya diselamatkan, berbeza dengan kejadian yang berlaku terhadap Sri Inderapura.
Mengenai dua pertuduhan yang dikenakan terhadap pegawai terbabit, beliau berkata, perkara itu akan diumumkan pada masa sesuai.

Tentera Darat puas hati kemampuan FN-6
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
Peluru berpandu FN-6 kini memperkuatkan sistem pertahanan negara.
KUALA LUMPUR 24 Mei – Tentera Darat (TD) berpuas hati dengan prestasi dan kemampuan peluru berpandu jarak dekat (VSHORAD) jenis lancaran bahu (Manpads) terbaru, FN-6 dalam menangani ancaman pesawat tempur musuh.
Bagaimanapun, Panglimanya, Jeneral Datuk Zulkifeli Mohd. Zin enggan mengulas sama ada pasukan itu akan menambah jumlah peluru berpandu buatan China itu atau tidak kerana tegas beliau, sebarang pendedahan mengenainya boleh membawa implikasi kepada pertahanan negara.
“Sudah tentu kita sangat berpuas hati dengan prestasi serta kemampuan FN-6 dalam menangani ancaman aras rendah, tetapi kami tidak boleh mendedahkan sama ada bakal berlaku penambahan aset ini atau tidak kerana ia rahsia sulit keselamatan negara,’’ katanya.
Beliau berkata demikian ketika diminta mengulas mengenai prestasi kumpulan pertama FN-6 yang baru sahaja memasuki inventori TD selepas menyampaikan perintah ulung pertamanya selaku Panglima TD yang baru di Kem Perdana Sungai Besi di sini hari ini.
FN-6 yang kini berada di bawah kendalian Gerup Artileri Pertahanan Udara (GAPU) merupakan peluru berpandu generasi ketiga yang mempunyai kemampuan menyerang pesawat dan helikopter musuh pada jarak enam kilometer serta ketinggian mencecah 3.5 kilometer.
Kemasukan FN-6 itu menjadikan GAPU kini memiliki empat variasi sistem VSHORAD berbeza iaitu Igla (Rusia), Anza MKII (Pakistan) dan Starburst (United Kingdom) selain sistem peluru berpandu tercanggih jenis jarak dekat iaitu JERNAS yang kalis penyerakan (diumpan).
Bagaimanapun, jumlah kumpulan pertama peluru berpandu itu yang diterima TD terlalu kecil menyebabkan ramai pihak khususnya pemerhati dan penganalisis ketenteraan mendesak supaya jumlah berkenaan ditambah kepada bilangan yang bersesuaian.
Dalam pada itu, Zulkifeli memberitahu, segala pemodenan yang dirancang bagi TD khususnya dalam usaha untuk mempertingkatkan kuasa tempur akan dilaksanakan dalam Rancangan Malaysia Ke-10 (RMK-10).
Namun tambahnya, walaupun segala pembelian aset baru itu dirancang bagi menggandakan lagi kekuatan tempur TD, ia tetap bergantung kepada kedudukan kewangan kerajaan kerana pemodenan sesebuah angkatan tentera bakal menelan belanja yang bukan sedikit.
“Kita akan meneruskan semua pemodenan yang dirancang sesuai dengan pelan pembangunan strategik TD iaitu ‘Army 2 10 plus 10’ dan langkah ini perlu selari dengan kemampuan modal insan.
“Namun, ingin saya tegaskan bahawa dengan aset yang ada sekarang sebenarnya TD cukup berkemampuan untuk mempertahankan keselamatan negara ini,’’ katanya tanpa memperincikan apakah bentuk perolehan baru itu.

Khairy tamat latihan askar Wataniah
2010/05/25
SEREMBAN: Ketua Pemuda Umno, Khairy Jamaluddin, hari ini menamatkan latihan sebagai askar Wataniah selepas menjalani latihan ketenteraan selama sebulan di sekitar Negeri Sembilan dan Johor.
Khairy berkata, penyertaannya dalam pasukan simpanan tentera darat itu semata-mata untuk berkhidmat kepada negara dan bukan disebabkan dorongan politik.
Bercakap kepada pemberita selepas lulus sebagai askar Wataniah dalam majlis perbarisan Tamat Kursus Asas Perajurit Muda Siri 1/2010 Rejimen 508 Askar Wataniah, Khairy berkata beliau mempelajari banyak perkara semasa dalam latihan itu dan berharap dapat menarik golongan muda tanpa mengira fahaman politik untuk menyertai askar Wataniah.
Turut hadir menyaksikan Khairy dan seramai 87 orang dalam skuadnya berbaris ialah mentuanya, Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi dan Tun Jeanne Abdullah.
Khairy berkata, walaupun sebelum ini beliau ditawarkan untuk mendapat pangkat Mejar Kehormat (tanpa proses latihan) tetapi berpendapat sebagai orang muda dan mempunyai sedikit stamina, beliau mahu menyertai Wataniah dan turut menjalani latihan tentera. - Bernama*

Two Malaysians on board aid ship attacked by Israeli warship
By SHAHANAAZ HABIB and SHAUN HO
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are on board one of the convoy of six ships carrying aid to blockaded Gaza that was attacked by an Israeli warship on Monday, killing 15 people and injuring many more.
The two Malaysians are journalist Ashwad Ismail and cameraman Shamsul Kamal Latip from Astro Awani, who are on board the lead Turkish ship Mavi Marmara that was boarded by Israeli commandos.
It is still uncertain if the Malaysians are among the dead or injured, said a senior Astro Awani source.
"We were on satellite phone contact but have not been in touch since last evening," he said, adding that they were trying desperately to establish contact.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][img][/img]
Two other Malaysians, activist Matthias Chang and journalist Shamsul Akmar, who are on another ship coming from Cyprus, were safe, said Yuzaidi Yusoff, who is with NGO Viva Palestina.
He said that about 10 Malaysians, in total, were in the convoy.
Another NGO Lifeline 4 Gaza, that coordinated the aid from Malaysia, plans to give a press conference at 3pm in Shah Alam.
Reports say that Israeli navy seals boarded the ship and faced violent resistance from pro-Palestinian activists on board.
The flottilla is under the coordination of the Free Gaza Movement, numerous human rights organizations, including the Turkish Relief Foundation (IHH), European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza, and the Swedish and Greek Boat to Gaza initiatives.
The passengers include members of Parliament from around the world, U.N., human rights and trade union activists, as well as journalists sent to document the largest coordinated effort to directly confront Israel’s blockade of Gaza and take in basic supplies.
Situation updates:
* Israeli army says more than 10 killed and dozens wounded, both soldiers and activists, and it is evacuating the casualties from the Mediterranean by helicopter.
* Turkey's foreign ministry warns that the attack may lead to "irreparable consequences" in bilateral ties with Israel.
* Israel on Monday expresses its "sorrow" over those killed when Israeli navy seals stormed an aid convoy destined for the Gaza Strip: Israeli Industry and Trade Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer
* Israel's military censor jams the reporting of any information about casualties being transferred to Israeli hospitals.
Earlier, AP quoted an al-Jazeera satellite channel reporting by telephone from the Turkish ship leading the flotilla that Israeli navy forces had fired at the ship and boarded it, wounding the captain.
The Turkish NTV network also reported an Israeli takeover with gunfire, and at least two people were killed.
The al-Jazeera broadcast ended with a voice shouting in Hebrew, "Everybody shut up!"
The reports came just after daybreak, with the flotilla still well away from the Gaza shore. Israel had declared it would not allow the ships to reach Gaza.
The head of the Gaza Hamas government, Ismail Haniyeh, condemned the "brutal" Israeli attack.
"We call on the Secretary-General of the U.N., Ban Ki-moon, to shoulder his responsibilities to protect the safety of the solidarity groups who were on board these ships and to secure their way to Gaza," Haniyeh told The Associated Press.
On Sunday, Huwaida Arraf, one of the organizers, said the six-ship flotilla began the journey from international waters off the coast of Cyprus on Sunday afternoon after two days of delays.
She said they expected to reach Gaza, about 250 miles (400 kilometers) away, on Monday afternoon, and that two more ships would follow in "a second wave."
The flotilla was "fully prepared for the different scenarios" that might arise, and organizers were hopeful that Israeli authorities would "do what's right" and not stop the convoy, she said.
"We fully intend to go to Gaza regardless of any intimidation or threats of violence against us," she said. "They are going to have to forcefully stop us."
After nightfall Sunday, three Israeli navy missile boats left their base in Haifa, steaming out to sea to confront the activists' ships.
Two hours later, Israel Radio broadcast a recording of one of the missile boats warning the flotilla not to approach Gaza.
"If you ignore this order and enter the blockaded area, the Israeli navy will be forced to take all the necessary measures in order to enforce this blockade," the radio message continued.
The al-Jazeera satellite channel reported that the ships changed course to try to avoid a nighttime confrontation, preferring a daylight showdown for better publicity.
The flotilla, which includes three cargo ships and three passenger ships, is trying to draw attention to Israel's three-year blockade of the Gaza Strip.
The boats are carrying items that Israel bars from reaching Gaza, like cement and other building materials. The activists said they also were carrying hundreds of electric-powered wheelchairs, prefabricated homes and water purifiers.
Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said that after a security check, permitted humanitarian aid confiscated from the boats will be transferred to Gaza through authorized channels.
However, Israel would not transfer items it has banned from Gaza under its blockade rules. Palmor said that for example, cement would be allowed only if it is tied to a specific project.
This is the ninth time that the Free Gaza movement has tried to ship in humanitarian aid to Gaza since August 2008.
Israel has let ships through five times, but has blocked them from entering Gaza waters since a three-week military offensive against Gaza's Hamas rulers in January 2009. The flotilla bound for Gaza is the largest to date.
Some 700 pro-Palestinian activists are on the boats, including 1976 Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Corrigan Maguire of Northern Ireland, European legislators and an elderly Holocaust survivor.
The mission has experienced repeated delays, both due to mechanical problems and a decision by Cyprus to bar any boat from sailing from its shore to Gaza.
The ban forced a group of European lawmakers to depart from the breakaway Turkish Cypriot northern part of the island late Saturday.
Israel and Egypt imposed the blockade on Gaza after Hamas militants violently seized control of the seaside territory in June 2007.
Israel says the measures are needed to prevent Hamas, which has fired thousands of rockets at Israel, from building up its arsenal.
But U.N. officials and international aid groups say the blockade has been counterproductive, failing to weaken the Islamic militant group while devastating the local economy.
In particular, the ban on building materials has prevented Gazans from repairing thousands of homes that were damaged or destroyed in an Israeli military offensive, meant to stop Hamas rocket attacks, early last year.
Israel rejects claims of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, saying it allows more than enough food and medicine into the territory.
The Israelis also point to the bustling smuggling industry along Gaza's southern border with Egypt, which has managed to bring consumer goods, gasoline and livestock into the seaside strip.
Israel has condemned the flotilla as a provocation and vowed to block it from reaching Gaza.
Palmor said foreigners on the ships would be "sent back to their countries." Activists who did not willingly agree to be deported would be detained. A special detention facility has been set up in the southern Israeli city of Ashdod.
At Gaza's tiny port, meant for small fishing boats, Hamas officials, activists and foreign nationals prepared to welcome the flotilla, sitting in some 40 small boats that were bobbing in the sea and decorated with the flags of the countries of the pro-Palestinian activists, including Turkey and Algeria. - AP

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysians are on board one of the convoy of six ships carrying aid to blockaded Gaza that was attacked by an Israeli warship on Monday, killing 15 people and injuring many more.
The two Malaysians are journalist Ashwad Ismail and cameraman Shamsul Kamal Latip from Astro Awani, who are on board the lead Turkish ship Mavi Marmara that was boarded by Israeli commandos.
It is still uncertain if the Malaysians are among the dead or injured, said a senior Astro Awani source.
"We were on satellite phone contact but have not been in touch since last evening," he said, adding that they were trying desperately to establish contact.

Two other Malaysians, activist Matthias Chang and journalist Shamsul Akmar, who are on another ship coming from Cyprus, were safe, said Yuzaidi Yusoff, who is with NGO Viva Palestina.
He said that about 10 Malaysians, in total, were in the convoy.
Another NGO Lifeline 4 Gaza, that coordinated the aid from Malaysia, plans to give a press conference at 3pm in Shah Alam.
Reports say that Israeli navy seals boarded the ship and faced violent resistance from pro-Palestinian activists on board.
The flottilla is under the coordination of the Free Gaza Movement, numerous human rights organizations, including the Turkish Relief Foundation (IHH), European Campaign to End the Siege of Gaza, and the Swedish and Greek Boat to Gaza initiatives.
The passengers include members of Parliament from around the world, U.N., human rights and trade union activists, as well as journalists sent to document the largest coordinated effort to directly confront Israel’s blockade of Gaza and take in basic supplies.
Situation updates:
* Israeli army says more than 10 killed and dozens wounded, both soldiers and activists, and it is evacuating the casualties from the Mediterranean by helicopter.
* Turkey's foreign ministry warns that the attack may lead to "irreparable consequences" in bilateral ties with Israel.
* Israel on Monday expresses its "sorrow" over those killed when Israeli navy seals stormed an aid convoy destined for the Gaza Strip: Israeli Industry and Trade Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer
* Israel's military censor jams the reporting of any information about casualties being transferred to Israeli hospitals.

RMAF Hope To Buy State-Of-The-Art Fighter Jets To Beef Up Air Defence
By Muhamad Fairoz Azizan And Nuraqalby Mohd Reda
KUALA LUMPUR, May 31 (Bernama) -- The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) are in the process of studying the capabilities of several fighter planes in efforts to procure state-of-the-art equipments to beef up RMAF's air defence.
RMAF Chief General Datuk Seri Rodzali Daud said a special team has been formed to study and identify the best type of fighter planes that can elevate the country's air defence in accordance with the rapid development.
He said among fighter jets under the microscope are USA made F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, a multi role combat aircraft (MRCA) that is capable of carrying out air and land combat capabilities.
"In accordance with the technological development and modernization of assets, RMAF needs significantly state-of-the-art fighter jets to remain competitive among countries in the region," he told Bernama during a special interview in conjunction with RMAF's 52nd anniversary Tuesday.
Rodzali said RMAF would however, not only focus on F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fighter jets but would also look at a number of options like Gripen and Eurofighter which are considered as high-tech fighter jets in their class.
He said the special team has also been tasked to study a number of other aspects like acquisition, capability, support services, cost and allocation set aside by the government.
"RMAF has experience in handling F/A-18D fighters and we are studying the capabilities of F/A-18E/F Super Hornet which is regarded as more advanced and superior in its class," he said.
Though we are looking at other options, the capabilities of fighter jets currently in our possession, especially the SU-30 MKM which can carry out strategic and tactical combat in the air effectively, would not be overlooked, he said.
"RMAF already has two MRCA, namely F/A-18D and SU-30MKM, both have advanced technology to safeguard the air space. We are actually planning to upgrade the capabilities of non-MRCA standard fighter jets to MRCA level," he said.
He added that the MiG-29 fighter jets with technology of the 80s was still capable and relevant to maintain the country's air defence and functions as an interceptor and frontline air defence.
Rodzali said RMAF had also short listed the assets needed by RMAF and hoped the government would make such procurement based on studies carried out and the availability of funds.
"A reduction in budget cannot be prolonged as it will affect the rolling stock of spare parts needed in the armoury and thus have an impact on the capability of RMAF in the long run," he said.
He added that the lost engine saga had in a way tarnished the image of the RMAF and raised some questions in the capability of the RMAF in carrying out responsibilities in defending the country's air space.
Rodzali said RMAF had taken the initiative to identify the weaknesses and rectify the administration system to avoid a recurrence of a similar incident.
"To restore the image of RMAF, a number of specific measures have been put in place, especially to give a true picture of the RMAF's functions in defending the country's sovereignty from time to time," he said.
Rodzali said RMAF was now focusing its attention on the development of human capital to improve the expertise, knowledge, and to instill a positive approach among RMAF staff.
He said with RMAF adopting the theme of "Strategic RMAF Moving into the Future" air force personnel must be intellectuals with quality and move forward according to the demands of modernization.
"The Armed Forces in general, and RMAF in particular, have decided to recruit only those with degrees starting next year.
"Before this the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) qualification or those equivalent to such qualification was enough but after this only those who are highly qualified will be recruited," said Rodzali.
He added that participation in missions carried out by the United Nations in Bosnia, Lebanon, Congo and Sahara, had also helped uplift the credibility of RMAF.

Re: MPSA @ News
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia is on the way to becoming Boeing Co's first foreign customer of the F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter and attack aircraft if the US Congress approves the deal.
The US Defence Security Co-operation Agency (DSCA) had notified Congress of the possible foreign military sales to Malaysia of the aircraft and associated equipment and services.
The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as RM5.7 billion (US$1.5 billion).
It is understood that the US Congress has 30 days to approve the deal...

Tudm rancang miliki pesawat canggih
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
KUALA LUMPUR 31 Mei - Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) merancang memiliki beberapa jenis pesawat tempur baru bagi mengukuhkan lagi pasukan itu sejajar dengan perkembangan teknologi dan usia TUDM yang menjangkau 52 tahun esok.
Panglima TUDM, Jen. Datuk Seri Rodzali Daud berkata, satu pasukan penilaian telah ditubuhkan bagi mengkaji beberapa jenis pesawat yang telah dikenal pasti dalam usaha memiliki aset canggih sejajar dengan peredaran semasa.
Beliau berkata, antara pesawat yang diteliti ialah F/A-18E/F Super Hornet buatan Amerika yang dianggap mempunyai keupayaan multi role combat aircraft (MRCA) iaitu mampu melakukan tugas dari udara ke udara dan udara ke bumi.
"Sesuai dengan perkembangan semasa dari segi teknologi dan pemodenan aset, TUDM sememangnya memerlukan pesawat berteknologi terkini untuk membolehkannya bersaing dengan pesawat negara-negara lain di rantau ini," katanya kepada Bernama dalam wawancara khas sempena sambutan ulang tahun TUDM ke-52 esok.
Namun, TUDM tidak memfokuskan hanya kepada pesawat F/A-18E/F Super Hornet sahaja sebaliknya turut mengkaji beberapa pesawat lain seperti Gripen dan Eurofighter yang dianggap pesawat berteknologi tinggi dalam kelasnya yang tersendiri.
Katanya, pasukan penilaian itu turut ditugaskan untuk meneliti beberapa aspek sebelum sesuatu perolehan pesawat dibuat seperti keupayaan pesawat, sokongan alat ganti, kos dan peruntukan yang disediakan oleh kerajaan.
"TUDM mempunyai pengalaman dalam mengendalikan pesawat F/A-18D dan kita sedang mengkaji faktor keupayaan pesawat F/A-18E/F Super Hornet yang lebih canggih daripada pesawat itu," katanya.
Beliau berkata, walaupun pihaknya sedang meneliti pesawat-pesawat canggih yang lain, namun pesawat yang sedia ada tidak diabaikan termasuk pesawat tempur SU-30 MKM yang mana pesawat terbabit boleh membuat pelbagai penugasan strategik dan taktikal udara dengan berkesan.
"TUDM telah pun memiliki dua pesawat MRCA iaitu F/A-18D dan SU-30MKM, kedua-dua pesawat ini sememangnya berkemampuan untuk menjaga ruang udara negara dan kita sedang merancang untuk menukarkan pesawat-pesawat bukan MRCA kepada keupayaan MRCA," jelasnya.
Ditanya mengenai fungsi pesawat MiG-29, Rodzali berkata, pesawat berteknologi 80-an itu masih berkemampuan dan relevan terutamanya di rantau ini dan fungsi pesawat itu kini adalah sebagai Pesawat Pemintas dan Pertahanan Udara.
