PM tells politicians, foreign agents not to get involved in defence procurements
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim says Malaysia’s defence was in its current state due to the previous policy of not handing over the acquisition of assets to the military, ending up in a lot of leakages as a result of the high commissions involved. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, June 17, 2023.
He said professional decisions when it comes to acquiring assets such as aircraft, vessels, weapons and others must be made by the Armed Forces. Anwar said the national defence policy must prioritise adequate preparedness, adding that the current state of equipment had not reached the levels of neighbouring countries as old assets were still in use.
The prime minister said the government will focus on the construction of homes for civil servants, including the military, as well as repair existing homes starting next year.
