Malaysia to push for increased Asean aviation security, says Hisham

KUALA LUMPUR: The government will push for Asean nations to re-examine their military and civil aviation security capabilities when Malaysia assumes chairmanship of the 10-member bloc next year.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said Malaysia’s chairmanship next year would be a good opportunity to look at the military and civil aviation capabilities of Asean countries.
