Armed forces want salary increase

PORT DICKSON: The Malaysian Armed Forces'(ATM) request for a salary adjustment for its personnel will be sent to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi said ATM was encouraged by the recent salary adjustment for the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) personnel.

"This makes it easier for ATM to ask for a salary adjustment," he told reporters after opening the Career, Education and Innovation Expo in Teluk Kemang near here Saturday.

He said ATM would use the PDRM salary adjustment as the yardstick adding a similar request was sent to the Public Service Department (PSD) when Najib was the defence minister.

"We will send it at a suitable time and when the economy has recovered and the nation's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has increased."

Zahid was confident that the salary adjustment would be given although it might take some time. ATM has some 80,000-120,000 personnel.

PDRM's salary adjustment made 98,747 personnel happy with each pocketing home RM1,500-RM6,000 depending on rank and the salary matrix schedule.

On the aircraft crash in Sintok, Zahid denied that the Pilatus PC-7 MK 11 crashed due to poor maintenance.

"I don't like to jump to conclusion as studies found that the Pilatus had only minor technical weaknesses."

He said the Pilatus fleet would not be suspended as studies showed that it was a safe aircraft and that most crashes were due to human error.

The crash two days ago killed pilot Major Muhammed Zulrihan Jusof of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) based in Kepala Batas, just outside Alor Setar. - Bernama

Malaysian Armour: Besla Tank Mk I and II

BESLA Tank MK I

Original idea by ikansadinmakanorang

When Tesla composed a treatise entitled "The Art of Projecting Concentrated Non-dispersive Energy through the Natural Media" concerning charged particle beams. He would never thought his idea will be put to use one a mobile weapon platform. Thus the birth of the BESLA Tank in the malaysian armoured arsenal sent shivers throughout the world.

The mobile BESLA system had less range and power against structures than its stationary counterpart. However the lightning bolts still arced over obstacles and easily eliminated infantry and also disabling other armoured vehicles. Like the older version of the Tesla tank, it sacrificed armor for speed.

Although the Army satified with the Besla MK I, the MK II version, a more lethal and dangerous version of the Besla Tank were eventually built and put into production by the DEFTECH Heavy Industry.

Only one picture of BESLA Tank MK II ever release to public.

Lekiu class frigate X Litoral Combat Ship: KD P.Ramlee

KD P.Ramlee

The Lekiu class frigates X Litoral Combat Shipare presently the most modern major assets of the Royal Malaysian Navy. The class comprised two vessels, F290 KD Jebat II and F300 KD P.Ramlee. The class is named after the second ship of the class which was launched earlier than the Jebat.

The ships were built by Yarrow Shipbuilders UK and NGV Tech in Lumut Naval Base Dry Dock from the FS 8000 light frigate design. The Lekiu was launched in December 2005 while the P.Ramlee was launched in May 2006. The P.Ramlee carries the lower pennant number (F 290) to signify the seniority of this ship, which accommodates the Admiral of the Royal Malaysian Navy.

The construction of the two ships of the Lekiu class involved a major Transfer of Technology programme as well as an off set programme where some portion of the contract value would involve purchases and services contracted to Malaysian companies.

Delivery and operational status were delayed due to integration of combat systems problems. The ships was a huge jump in capability in terms of networked, agile, stealthy surface combatant capable of defeating anti-access and asymmetric threats in the littorals.

This Class of ship are also capable to carry out mothership operation for UCAV.

It also have a capability to recover and launch small boats from a stern ramp, and enough cargo volume and payload to deliver a small assault force with armoured fighting vehicles to a roll-on/roll-off port facility.

KD P.Ramlee performed flawlessly during the duration of Ops Fajar in Gulf of Aden.

Dokdo class orbital assault ship for Royal Malaysian Navy

RMN revealed the picture of the orbital platform.

Original Idea by zehe

ROKS Dokdo is the lead ship of the "LPX" class of orbital landing ships of the Republic of Korea Navy, launched on 12 July 2005 at the shipyard of Hanjin Heavy Industries & Constructions Co. in Busan. Named after the Dokdo islets, Dokdo was commissioned into the ROK Navy on 3 July 2007.

Designed by Hanjin Heavy Industries, the requirements for the orbital landing ships were to enhance Korea's current space operation capability, both in terms of assault and military operations other than war (MOOTW) type operations.

RMN has an outstanding requirement for a Multi-Purpose Support Ship (MPSS) to replace the KD Inderapura. Hence the DOKDO class were evaluated as one of the main choice for the Navy.

Two of the orbital assault ship were seen hovering over the Lumut RMN Naval Base.

After a long wait of 50 months, the first 3 two hulls, KD Indera Mahyudin, KD Indera Mayuni and KD Indera Makjun were finally commissioned in June 2010. As of July, 2010, all 3 ships had been launched. Subsequently good progression of the program has regained interest in the Malaysian decision makers to order the second batch of 6 NGPVs.

Although The new Dokdo orbital assault ship capabilities were kept secret, source from the Navy said it is an orbital assault platform with enormous firepower and tonnage.
