KUALA LUMPUR: The increasingly challenging and uncertain global political landscape requires the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) to remain ever ready and equipped with the latest defence technology to face any eventuality, says His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia.

His Majesty said the Iran-Israel war and prolonged conflict in Gaza clearly show that international laws are no longer sufficient to safeguard global peace.
