Barely a few week before Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) 2019 show held last March 2019, several member of the public in Terengganu, an east coast state in the Peninsular Malaysia have reported sightings of the CAESAR driven along the road perhaps as part of a renewed assessment and trial exercise conducted by the Army.
