Its just an expensive toy at the end of the day !.<br />,,,Nothing like hard training in the jungle area, in the air plus sea. <br />,,,indeed there are pro. and con. but if we are short of money as it stand, lets not further waste it.<br />,,,i have been involved with aircraft or rather helicopter simulator training protocol, yes there are some benefits but nothing beats training in the real chopper. The risks of crashing the real chopper would make an experienced aircrew after the training or check ride. I always prefer the real stuff than simulation exercises. It tests both human and machine at the same time i.e. for win/win.Capt's Longhousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03874296223240854234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-80758676046225451382010-06-03T13:34:42.792+08:002010-06-03T13:34:42.792+08:00Dear Dato,

Either be its delivery not according GSR or of very much over-priced through crooked or loop-sided negotiation or tenders, the end of the day the soldiers will pick up the pieces. Whoever did those were really low-down snakes, not worth to be called defense contractors. As far as our war simulation system, there are many sold even in open markets. It's nothing new or that sophisticated unless we design it ourselves. We have enough army experts in training establishment and many good computer programmers in the high institution. Form them in a group, give them grant, provide them with facility, by two years we will see some results. It's worth then buying it over-counter with shady under-counter dealings.KOLONEL JIHADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804825207789446167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-60597588110775142702010-06-03T10:04:10.510+08:002010-06-03T10:04:10.510+08:00Dear Dato,

If this is the case all tenders will stop dead in their tracks, due to one reason or another. To me the tenderer should simply ensure that the GSR is done professionally. I emphasise that "THERE MUST BE NO HANKY PANKY IN THIS". To put a good technical team together, led by competent officers should not be a problem for I know that there are many of them around. Once this activity is done correctly and 'WITHOUT INTERFERENCE FROM ABOVE', I am sure more than 60% of the job is done. This rests the arguement of what the end user wants. Then it is case of evaluating the costs,the quality of equipment,credibility of supplier etc.I cannot see how contracts can be sealed with disregard to the GSR or manupilation of the same.People get around the system (if I can assume that this is done)simply because they are allowed to do so. I am not interested by whom or the modus operandi, I am simply saying that if due respect is given to the defined process, then all should be well. As the old adage goes "If you ask for flowers, you get flowers;If you ask for s@#t, you get s@#t".Mej.

In any ten...Dear Dato' Arshad,<br /> In any tender exercise it is an open secret that bidders can come together and work out the ways and means of getting around the system, even though on the surface they are competitors. Sometimes the same individuals are the people behind a string of tenderers with different names. Thus no matter how the check and balance is well in place, the manipulators can always outwit the system.<br /><br /> As you had always posted before, the Defence Ministry tenders are known to be riddled with irregularities and hanky panky. This unethical practice seemed to be in the know by those involved in the business but many preferred to keep it to themselves for obvious reasons. As long this continues, we can say farewell to transparency and accountability. Thus the vicious cycle could not be broken and status quo remained forever.<br /> If everyone in the business cooperate to buck the trend and the top management of the Ministry and the Treasury go all out to weed out the officers who have been entrenched in their places far too long and breached the trust, all effort to eradicate the scourge would end in failure.abdulhalimshahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09238556448779778756noreply@blogger.com
