Singapore and Malaysian Armies Conclude Bilateral Military Exercise
Singapore and Malaysian Armies Conclude Bilateral Military Exercise 13 Nov 2016 The Chief of Staff-General Staff of the Singapore Army, Brigadier-General (BG) Desmond Tan Kok Ming and the Deputy Chief of Army of the Malaysian Armed Forces, Lieutenant-General Dato' Seri Panglima Hj Ahmad Hasbullah bin Hj Mohd Nawawi, co-officiated the closing ceremony of Exercise Semangat Bersatu this morning. This year's exercise, the 22nd edition in the series of bilateral exercises between both armies, was conducted in Kluang, Johor from 3 to 13 November 2016. It involved around 980 personnel from both the 1st Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment, and the 5th Royal Malay Regiment. The exercise included professional exchanges and culminated in a combined battalion field exercise. In his closing speech, BG Tan said, "Today, the armies of Malaysia and Singapore enjoy a deep and abiding respect for each other. Through our defence relations, we find 1 greater areas of convergence between our two countries and therein forge the basis for a lasting bond… I am heartened to know that our soldiers took the opportunity to interact, to build relationships and achieve a deeper understanding of each other during the last two weeks. Through the professional exchanges and outfield exercise, our soldiers have truly demonstrated our armies' "unity in spirit", or semangat bersatu." First conducted in 1989, Exercise Semangat Bersatu serves as an important and valuable platform for professional exchanges and personnel-to-personnel interactions between the SAF and the MAF. The SAF and the MAF also interact regularly across a wide range of activities, which include bilateral exchanges and professional courses, as well as multilateral activities under the ambit of the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting and the Five Power Defence Arrangements. -

Arms Procurement Decision Making Volume II: Chile, Greece, Malaysia
4. Malaysia Dagmar Hellmann-Rajanayagam* I. Introduction Malaysia has become one of the major political players in the South-East Asian region with increasing economic weight. Even after the economic crisis of 1997–98, despite defence budgets having been slashed, the country is still deter- mined to continue to modernize and upgrade its armed forces. Malaysia grappled with the communist insurgency between 1948 and 1962. It is a democracy with a strong government, marked by ethnic imbalances and affirmative policies, strict controls on public debate and a nascent civil society. Arms procurement is dominated by the military. Public apathy and indifference towards defence matters have been a noticeable feature of the society. Public opinion has disregarded the fact that arms procurement decision making is an element of public policy making as a whole, not only restricted to decisions relating to military security. An examination of the country’s defence policy- making processes is overdue. This chapter inquires into the role, methods and processes of arms procure- ment decision making as an element of Malaysian security policy and the public policy-making process. It emphasizes the need to focus on questions of public accountability rather than transparency, as transparency is not a neutral value: in many countries it is perceived as making a country more vulnerable.1 It is up 1 Ball, D., ‘Arms and affluence: military acquisitions in the Asia–Pacific region’, eds M.

Color profile: Generic CMYK printer profile Composite Default screen Koh: Seeking Balance SEEKING BALANCE Force Projection, Confidence Building, and the Republic of Singapore Navy Swee Lean Collin Koh espite the widespread proliferation of studies on the major navies in DAsia, first and foremost that of China, writings on the small navies of Asia—Southeast Asia in particular—have been few and far between. The slant toward those major navies is warranted by their influence on the regional na- val balance of power. However, it scarcely does justice to the small navies of Southeast Asia, a region of huge maritime geostrategic importance with po- tential security ramifications for wider Asian and global maritime security. Southeast Asia is also the scene of an interesting and serious buildup of sophis- ticated naval capabilities. This article therefore attempts to redress, at least partially, the dearth of inter- est in the small navies in Southeast Asia, using the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) as a case study.
