KUALA LUMPUR: The Defence Ministry will seek government approval to continue the procurement of certain assets if the current freeze is found to affect the operations and readiness of the Armed Forces.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said while all procurements are currently on hold and subject to ministerial approval, the ministry’s priority remains the continuity of national defence operations.
