Border control with illegal immigration, the INDONESIA smuggling of illicit goods and arms, piracy, kidnapping for ransom, human trafficking, the drugs trade and illegal fishing are all pressing JAPAN TAIWAN concerns for governments and maritime organisations in the region. THAILAND In addition to the increase in non-traditional threats, such as the smuggling of narcotics, together with the growing military might of China, it’s never been more important for the countries in SE Asia to expand and maintain a robust maritime security presence. Not only this, but nations in the region – including their Navies and the often numerous Coast Guard organisations – must VIETNAM also begin to work together towards common goals to neutralise these threats. Offshore patrol vessels (OPVs) are the most in-demand platform globally and represent MALAYSIA the fastest growing segment of the naval market. The total number of OPVs in operation worldwide increased from 681 to 776 in the last year. Of that total, Asia makes up the NEW ZEALAND largest portion of the OPV holdings accounting for 44%. The region also has the largest portion of OPVs on order (46%). Japan and India have 50% of the Asian vessels between them, while India alone has 26% of the total vessels on order worldwide. Key priorities for maritime agencies in the region centre around interoperability of equipment and increased information sharing. The development of trust between international bodies is therefore vital to engender better cooperation and allow wider access to the SE Asia common operating picture. PHILIPPINES PAKISTAN This report has been produced ahead of the 12th Annual Maritime Security and Coastal Surveillance conference (1 - 2 Dec, 2015 – Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur) and details all the known holdings and requirements for a number of maritime surviellance assets. This includes OPVs, surface warships, maritime ISR assets and UAVs. 3 NAVAL COMBAT SYSTEMS AUSTRALIA CHINA The Royal Australian Navy’s ANZAC upgrade The Luyang III class (Type 052D) guided missile programme has benefited from a series of destroyers (DDG) incorporate an enhanced version incremental update packages.

  • 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.
