KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia may not sign any new deals on defence and security during the 2015 Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition in light of the present economic conditions, says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

He hinted that Malaysia’s defence spending at LIMA this year would be limited while the ministry waits for the 11th Malaysia Plan rollout.
