“I believe that the figures will be similar to the
allocations for our projects under the 10th Malay-sia Plan.
“We hope that our budget will not be cut as many other
countries have trimmed their military spending due to the global economic
crisis,” he said at a press conference after chairing the Malaysian Industry
Council for Defence, Enforcement and Security meeting yesterday.
Zahid was asked whether the Government had any plans to
boost its defence spending, especially in relation to research and development
projects.
He added that the ministry would instead focus on upgrading
and refurbishing existing hardware as well as its military equipment in a bid
to cut excessive spending.
