  • 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.

  • Guan Eng Throws Support Behind Anwar's Candidacy Malaysiakini.Com Jan 29, 2014
    Guan Eng throws support behind Anwar's candidacy MalaysiaKini.com Jan 29, 2014 Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng now says that Pakatan Rakyat is behind Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim contesting in the Kajang by-election. "We do not know what transpired that led to former Kajang assemblyperson Lee Chin Cheh resigning, but after our meeting with Pakatan leaders in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, we agree to Anwar contesting the by-election," he said, in a press conference today. Yesterday, Lim said he had not been officially informed about developments in Selangor PKR, which led to Lee vacating his seat to pave the way for a by-election. The DAP secretary-general said this before rushing to Kuala Lumpur for a meeting. Lim's statement comes after Selangor DAP chief Tony Pua (right) pledged support for Anwar, while PAS Youth in Kajang has warned of a potential boycott of the by-election which must be called within six months. Selangor PKR chief Azmin Ali has said that Lee's resignation was a "tactical move" to build momentum towards the Sarawak election and the 14th general election, which can be called as early as 2016. 'Kept in the dark' Lim continue to maintain that he was kept in the dark until yesterday before the Pakatan meeting. He added that DAP veteran leader Lim Kit Siang had attended the meeting on behalf of the party. "As far as Kajang is concerned, we are still awaiting Anwar's explanation," Lim said, referring to the PKR supremo who is now overseas. However, he stressed that DAP had no problems with Anwar’s candidacy.

This year's exercise, the 23rd edition in the series, saw the participation of around 750 troopers from the 3rd Battalion Singapore Guards and the 5th Royal Malay Regiment. The exercise, held in Singapore from 12 to 25 November 2017, included professional exchanges and culminated in a combined battalion field exercise. At the closing ceremony, MG Ong said, "The SAF lends heavy emphasis on this exercise as we value the opportunity to interact and to exchange professional military knowledge and expertise, with our friends from the MAF. The regional security environment that we face today is full of complexities and uncertainity, and that is why we need friends." GEN Zulkiple also added that "I believe that the most important aspect of this exercise is to foster a greater relationship between our armies despite all the challenges that we have to face. I am confident that as time goes by, the continuation of this bilateral exercise will bring us closer together as brothers in arms." First held in 1989, XSB underscores the warm and long-standing defence relations between Singapore and Malaysia.
