What the hell wrong with malaysians?Does 2 decades of peace and prosperity already taken it's toll?Don't they know there are already subversive movement trying to infiltrate our country(JI,LTTE,heck maybe even some south american separatist group trying to turn Malaysia as transit to fuel their movement),not to mention our claim on Spratly and some unfinished ZEE area claim.And then there's inactive claim of Sabah from the philippines(Thank God their military isn't at the same level as us to exercise their claim significantly.Their internal conflict is a bless in disguise to us).
http://img11.imageshack.us/img11/1219/berita20harian2020mig29.jpg <--crappy article is crappy.To whoever who write this crap,if you read this,wikipedia is there in the internet for a reason.USE IT.
Already today I read some crappy article about unnecessary replacement of MiG-29.While the replacement can be delayed(by upgrading it to SMT variant it can stay relevant until beyond 2020),but it is written in a style well beyond any level of relevant journalism available(The author of the article even get it wrong on ID-ing the aircraft,plus many more errors which waste my time to even bother about it).
Why doesn't Malaysian have some patriotism like the Korean,Pakistani,heck even Indonesian?(Patriotism,not nationalism.both are different).Do they really happy to see our armed forces lags behind our neighbor.Don't forget that our neighbors will looking forward to see us weaken before exercising their claim to our soil.I don't care what race a malaysian are.All are responsible to defend this country by any mean,directly or indirectly. Even with our status as the "Tiger of Islamic world" today,we already caused some concern from some countries which feel uneasy to our stance,especially about Palestine and Iraq.They will find any means to weaken us and make us their as their mere puppet.What would a Malaysian do then? I recalled words from my teacher about Malaysian today,If they know the hardship of yesteryear they will learn to appreciate their life better today.
P/S:and don't give me the "all money go to kroni LAH" either.Is that reason alone enough to suspend our military modernization? How would one defending the country effectively with obsolete weapon?Think about it.
Our brethren at arms.They bust their butts to defend ours.So show some respect to these selfless personnel.
Methinks that journalists had gotten pretty lazy about double checking their details. I agree with you re the lack of support for our military and the suspect patriotism of a number of ordinary Malaysians.
ReplyDeleteOh well. C'est la vie.
about the article, the writer said the F-5E is front line fighter....see how the writer(kunta kinte) doesn't even know the real role of the F-5E, and even get it wrong when ID-ing all the aircraft. and what I do not understand is that he comparing the MiG-29 with his motobike and cars....
