KUALA LUMPUR: The increasingly challenging and uncertain global political landscape requires that the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) remain ever ready and equipped with the latest defence technology to face any eventuality.
His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, said the Iran-Israel war and prolonged conflict in Gaza clearly show that international laws are no longer sufficient to safeguard global peace.
"It is crucial for the MAF to always be prepared and equipped with the latest technology to deal with any possibility, as we don’t know who is a friend and who is an enemy,” His Majesty said.
The King said this when officiating the commissioning parade and presentation of appointment letters to MAF cadet officers at Kem Perdana, Sungai Besi here Saturday (June 28).
At the same time, Sultan Ibrahim reminded the government to ensure that there is no political interference or influence from suppliers in all defence procurement processes. - Bernama
