Political leaders would now be happy to operationalise ship replacement agenda so that some cronies can make quick millions.<br /><br />If KD Seri Inderapura is no longer<br />economically viable to be repaired,<br />I appeal to Minister of Defence NOT<br />to sink it in the interest of RMN traditions. If one were to go to Pearl Harbour, Honolulu, Hawaii, US Navy ship, USS Arizona which was<br />sunk by the Japanese during World War 2 had been proudly preserved as a US Navy historical site. <br /><br />If Minister of Defence still insists that KD Seri Inderapura be given to the fish, I suggest that Laksma Dato Noor Azman (Rtd), all the former ship captains and crew parade at Mindef Main Gate and voice their last request from Zahid Hamidi to "Save KD Seri Inderapura" as a RMN museum piece instead of making the fish happy.<br />The Chief of Navy, please speak up<br />to save His Majesty's ship!<br /><br />Do we still remember when the RMAF Nuri helicopter crashed in genting Highland area? Immediately after the crash, the Nuri was declared very old and unsafe to fly. The Eurocopter quickly got selected to replace the Nuri but because of the international tender fiasco, the Eurocopter Superpuma purchase was stalled and the faithful Nuris are now safely and happily flying the Malaysian sky!<br /><br />I can imagine ship builders from Britain, Italy, Spain, France and Korea are hot on their toes with their local partners knocking the Defence Minister's door. It would never be a surprise at all if Minister Zahid Hamidi would be visiting some shipyards in the next few days to shop for KD Seri Inderapura replacement.<br /><br />Tamingsaritaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16069662133726253062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-82369144849378469502009-10-15T21:09:30.692+08:002009-10-15T21:09:30.692+08:00Dear Afofuad,

Let us loo...Dear Dato' Arshad,<br /> Let us look at the big picture. When the KD Inderapura caught fire, the Minister of Defence made a remark as to what possibly was the cause and he also added that a new ship would replace it. He just acted like a cowboy shooting from the hip. Being new to the ways of how such things are dealt with, the Minister's office having officers from the various branch of the Army, Navy and Air Force acting as advisers should have briefed him immediately as what procedure should be followed under such circumstances.<br /> Instead the Hon. Minister went to ramble on approaching the PM for Cabinet approval about buying a new ship. Obviously he did not understand the ties that bind the ship and its crew that you mentioned of. To me, either the Hon. Minister is totally ignorant or failed to be initiated into the norms of the Defence Ministry. The Admirals in the RMN should do something before more damage is done. Pre-empting an action before a duly constituted investigation team get on with its task is a poor reflection of the top leadership in the respective branch of the Malaysian Armed Forces.abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-11925318010778320942009-10-15T08:46:08.431+08:002009-10-15T08:46:08.431+08:00My dear friend,
One of the factors in making the ...My dear friend,<br /><br />One of the factors in making the appreciation, Navy or MINDEF should consider is the SENTIMENTS of the past Navy Chiefs, Officers and men, had in one way or another, involved in the purchase of the SHIP or had served in the SHIP. <br /><br />Let hear what they have to say, their VOICE should be heard and respected.<br /><br />I for one admire Tun Mahathir for voicing out despite the fact many were against him doing so. Now, more and more people realise he is doing it for the King, Country and UMNO. Tun Mahathir does not have to voice it out, as he is old (IN FIGURES ONLY), rich, known (not only in Malaysia but in the world), and well respected. He does for Malaysia, not for personal glory.<br /><br />I wish our great past Navy leaders, Officers and men will emulate Tun Mahathir in speaking up and voicing concern and love for the Navy. <br /><br />Regards to the Navy Veterans.<br /><br />God bless the Navy.<br /><br />Fabian Wong<br />Kuching<br />017-851-5225Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639650799366803013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-76035097946379552342009-10-15T08:12:17.427+08:002009-10-15T08:12:17.427+08:00selagi sistem peninggalan mahathir bernafas lega, ...selagi sistem peninggalan mahathir bernafas lega, selagi itulah segar bugarnya virus rasuah. mungkin kebakaran yang berlaku tidak dapat dielakkan kecuali terbukti ada unsur sabotaj. pun gitu boi mana nak determine sabotaji kecuali sudah sedia dgn hujah2 ke arah 'write-off' termasuk membenamkannya ke dasar laut.<br /><br />janganlah bekas2 anggota tentera hiba dgn apa yang berlaku. kita lihat sendiri. bagaimana anggota2 tentera boleh "dibeli" undi mereka. kita lihat sendiri bagaimana ltg ra mengiringi mp untuk berkempen. itu lah std army kita. mungkin sbg balasan, selepas mat pada akhir bulan ini tptd akan "tinggalkan" kerusinya untuk ke mks atm "membuka" ruang kpd ltg ra, sbgmana kehendak mael polin.<br /><br />pas nyata gagal di bagan pinang dgn slogan "bersama kehendak rakyat", manakala di dtd "kehendak" mael polin mungkin menjadi kenyataan. keputusan mat akhir bulan ini kita tunggu.hussinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04062908983330237134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-87785221915970818822009-10-15T08:08:27.510+08:002009-10-15T08:08:27.510+08:00My dear friend,

It is not known one makes a hasty decision with one course open only. Let see the Navy or MINDEF make known its apppreciation and let the ship die and bury with honour - certainly not be murdered with disgrace.<br /><br />Fabian Wong<br />Kuching<br />017-851-5225Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00639650799366803013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-60245943620902611922009-10-15T07:15:50.893+08:002009-10-15T07:15:50.893+08:00It's the sinking of a navy's ship on purpo...It's the sinking of a navy's ship on purpose in order to launch another commission laden military purchases.
