200...NST today Copter deal to be inked in December<br /><br />2009/09/07<br /><br /><br />KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will acquire the Eurocopter EC-725 Cougar helicopters by the end of this year.<br /><br />The agreement for eight or 10 Cougars would be signed at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace 2009 show in December, a Defence Ministry source said.<br /><br />The purchase price has yet to be confirmed. The aircraft will be delivered in stages from next year.<br /><br />"The government feels there is an urgent need to replace the current fleet of Sikorsky S61-A4 Sea Kings, or Nuri, which has been in operation since 1969."<br /><br /><br />The planned purchase of 12 Cougars two years ago for RM1.6 billion was put off for financial reasons and the government said that it would buy the Cougar when it was economically feasible.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232674708933146196.post-18341751092316048472009-08-29T20:47:09.296+08:002009-08-29T20:47:09.296+08:00First of all we must understand this purchase is n...First of all we must understand this purchase is not a mere military helicopter purchase,it's a purchase of national importance,the role envisaged for workhorse Nuri replacement is of national importance one must agree.<br />Just because it's been brought up by the opposition (the name says it all),the previous admin chicken out,although the PAC could not find fault with the contracts.Alas,we're putting our Serviceman/woman at risk here,politician,sigh...I'm optimistic current Admin will restore it,regardless of what the other side have to say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232674708933146196.post-84851312079350404812009-07-18T10:20:30.116+08:002009-07-18T10:20:30.116+08:00Obviously.

Everyone is a taxpayer, even the servicemen.<br /><br />So many taxpayers feel they have unbridled rights over what they do not understand after paying a meagre portion of their harvests.<br /><br />Nobody disputes their right to question, but oft tmes the question betrays the mind and heart of the one who questions. Therefore the right to question also needs to be backed by sufficient intelligence, timely and accurate.<br /><br />Soldiers are the expendible pawns in this ridiculous political argument of claimed idealism that teeters in the face of operational reality. Someone else has to pay for your argument. The breed of taxpayer who questions military procurement may never ever have to pay the price for peace.<br /><br />I propose then that the next mishap due to persistently forcing aircrew into a dilapidated machine said taxpayer would never dream of boarding be upon the same's conscience.<br /><br />Ya, mumuchi?hobbit1964https://www.blogger.com/profile/04030529322509686268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232674708933146196.post-31880854938191887002009-06-15T21:18:48.000+08:002009-06-15T21:18:48.000+08:00riddle me diddle..oklah bro, i get what you are tr...riddle me diddle..oklah bro, i get what you are trying to say (most of it) despite it being so convulated..hope the rest do so bro..let's see if this mistake or premeditated crime as you call it can corrected by those people called the 'powers that be', on both sides of the divide.mumuchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11639055259683199675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232674708933146196.post-35474146667224046812009-06-15T04:47:27.694+08:002009-06-15T04:47:27.694+08:00I apologize for my periphrastic comment earlier.
I...I apologize for my periphrastic comment earlier.<br />It is an universal truth that tax payer have the right to question. However they need representative to voice for them in the parliament.<br />Opposition party for whatever motive they have behind, are doing the their job and fulfilling the role as the opposition in the debate, which is the core sprite of the parliament.<br />On other hand the party in the office, based on your hind should have a invulnerable position, inconceivably failed to response in a satisfying manner. Leading the procurement to be halted in the fiscal revision. And therefore if there is any mishap occur since the decision was made, the decision makers should be charge as guilty under premeditated murder crime.<br />Nonetheless the ruling party had a successful syllogism trick preventing a great deal of people from reaching the truth beyond the second stage of the feud. In return using it as a political weapon in expense of the real victim, our nation's servicemen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232674708933146196.post-11626775372184065552009-06-14T20:59:25.916+08:002009-06-14T20:59:25.916+08:00I don't really get what you are trying to say ...I don't really get what you are trying to say but who has blamed the taxpayers? It is those who wants to gain political mileage at the expense of our service man that I personally blame here so if you believe that taxpayers are being blamed by my posts, maybe this is because I have hit close to the mark?

For the Cougar procurement, tax payers have all the right to be skeptical. However the procurement was halt by the party whom wants to avoid a political crisis. Regardless if the procurement was clean, or not. The tax payers is certainly the wrong person to be blamed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
