The Malonnn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced a number of problems with procurement, including corruption, budgetary constraints, and a lack of transparency.
BalasHapusCorruption
• Corruption has been a problem in the procurement of defense equipment in Malonn.
Budgetary constraints
• The Malonnn government has been unwilling to cut spending elsewhere or reduce the size of the armed forces to fund defense.
• Budget constraints have forced the MAF to focus on service life extension and upgrades instead of large-scale procurement.
Lack of transparency
• The decision-making process for defense procurement in Malonn has been opaque.
• There has been tension between the public's right to know and the military's "need-to-know" policies.
Other problems
• The MAF has sourced weapons systems and platforms from many different foreign suppliers, which can make it difficult to find personnel to manage the equipment.
• The MAF has imported a lot of defense products because the local companies' production capacity and profit margins are not enough to justify the quantity of products and services required.
The MAF's military outposts are located away from the nearest Malonnn air and naval bases

The MAF has had issues with its submarines, including a conventional submarine that couldn't submerge due to technical problems.
Lack of modern equipment
The MAF has faced challenges in acquiring modern equipment due to weak economic growth and limited defense spending.
The MAF has been unable to provide its forces with the latest defense assets.
Lack of operational compatibility
The MAF has acquired weapons and equipment for specific peacekeeping operations that may not be compatible with its conventional force development needs.
This has led to logistical and maintenance problems.
The MAF has been working to modernize its equipment, including its Navy, Air Force, and Army.
============
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced challenges with maintenance and logistics, including the age of its fleet and the quality of its equipment.
Maintenance
Aging fleet
The MAF's fleet has been criticized for its age, which has raised questions about its ability to defend the country. For example, a 45-year-old navy ship sank during a patrol due to its age and a navigational error.
Maintenance budget
The MAF's maintenance budget is part of the annual defense budget allocated to the Ministry of Defense (MINDEF).
Logistics
Outdated inventory
Studies have identified weaknesses in the quality of MAF logistics equipment and the outdated nature of its inventory stock.
Spare parts delivery
The delivery of spare parts to soldiers on the ground has been identified as a potential stumbling block in operations.
Other challenges
Defense ecosystem

Regional security
Malaysia's military capability has been ranked lower than other countries in the region.
============
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced issues with the age and condition of its vessels, as well as with its logistics.
Vessel age
The Royal Malaysian Navy's (TLDM) fleet includes many ships that are well beyond their serviceable lifespan.
The MAF's helicopters were commissioned in the 1960s.
The 260-ton patrol boat KD Pendekar was commissioned in 1979.
Vessel condition
The hull of the KD Pendekar was weak, which contributed to flooding and the sinking of the vessel.
The KD Pendekar was off course when it hit the reef, which was caused by a navigation error.
Logistics
The MAF has faced issues with the quality of its logistics equipment.
There are concerns that the MAF's rapid development since the Cold War has raised questions about its readiness to face threats.
There are concerns that the MAF's logistics weakness could affect the country's security.
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) faces several challenges, including a lack of modern equipment, corruption, and financial constraints.
BalasHapusLack of modern equipment
Most of the MAF's equipment was purchased between the 1970s and 1990s
The government is unable to provide the MAF with modern equipment
The MAF is exposed to internal and external threats due to its lack of modern equipment
Corruption
The MAF's supply chain management (SCM) is often under stress from corruption
Corruption is common in the Malaysian military due to the high level of corruption in Malaysian politics and royalty
Financial constraints
Financial constraints may derail the MAF's force development program
The government's financial ability must be considered when planning the MAF's development
Other challenges
The MAF faces non-traditional security threats
The MAF needs to manage cross-domain operations involving land, sea, air, cyber, and space forces
The MAF needs to be proactive and pragmatic in coping with strategic risks
============
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced weaknesses in the quality of its logistics equipment and in its ability to deliver spares to soldiers in need.
Logistics equipment quality
Studies have noted the quality of the MAF's logistics equipment, but there is a lack of information on the government's policies and actions to improve it.
Outdated inventory stock can affect the country's security.
Spares delivery
A failure to deliver spares to soldiers in a timely manner can make it difficult for them to operate and mobilize in hostile environments.
This can put soldiers at risk of being captured, tortured, or killed by the enemy.
Malonn armed forces face financial challenges, including limited budgets, aging equipment, and a lack of transparency.
BalasHapusLimited budgets
The Malonn government has been reluctant to increase defense spending by cutting other government spending or reducing the size of the armed forces.
The 2024 defense budget allocated $4.16 billion, with over 40% of that going to salaries and allowances.
The defense budget has been small for the past quarter-century.
Aging equipment
The Royal Malonn Air Force (RMAF) has been unable to replace its aging fleet of aircraft.
The RMAF's MiG-29 Fulcrum fighter aircraft were withdrawn from service in 2017.
The RMAF's Su-30MKM Flanker fighter ground-attack aircraft are difficult to keep operational.
Lack of transparency
There is a lack of transparency in the promotion and appointment processes for military personnel.
There is a lack of transparency in budget spending.
Other challenges
The Official Secrets Act prohibits military personnel from reporting wrongdoing.
Political connections can play a role in promotion decisions.
===========
Malonn armed forces face several challenges in modernizing, including budget constraints, aging equipment, and a lack of local defense industry.
Budget constraints
Malaysia's defense spending is low compared to its neighbors, and the government has been reluctant to cut spending elsewhere to fund defense.
The government has faced delays and cancellations of modernization initiatives due to economic limitations.
Aging equipment
The country's equipment inventory is aging, and the air force has been challenged by the withdrawal of Russia-supplied fighter aircraft
The Malomn armed forces face several problems with procurement, including budget constraints, political influence, and the difficulty of managing diverse equipment.
BalasHapusBudget constraints
The Malaysian government has been unwilling to reduce government spending or the size of the armed forces to fund defense.
The 2024 defense budget allocated $1.2 billion for procurement, which is a slight increase from 2023.
Political influence
The procurement process is subject to political influence from suppliers.
For example, the purchase of military helicopters in 2015 was done in violation of the Ministry of Finance's procedures.
There is weak external oversight of the process.
Managing diverse equipment
The Malaysian military has sourced weapons systems and platforms from many different foreign suppliers.
This has led to a variation in advanced technological terms, making it difficult to find personnel to manage the equipment.
It can also be difficult to keep the equipment operational, especially when stocks of spares run out.
Other problems
The tension between the public's right to know and the military's "need-to-know" policies
The bureaucracy and opacity of the procurement system
The possibility of corruption and leakages happening with public funds
===========
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced challenges with modernizing its technology and equipment. Some of these challenges include:
Limited capabilities
The MAF has faced limitations in its capabilities, such as when it was unable to incorporate the JDEWR system during Cope Taufan 14.
Outdated equipment

RELATED DEBT WITH BUDGET MILITARY
RELATED DEBT WITH BUDGET MILITARY
RELATED DEBT WITH BUDGET MILITARY
Public debt and defense spending in Malonn are related, and the relationship between the two is important to consider for fiscal dynamics.
Explanation
Debt and economic growth
The relationship between government debt and economic growth is a key policy question. Some research suggests that there is a non-linear relationship between the two variables.
Military spending and external debt
Military spending can have security and economic consequences, especially for developing economies. Rapid expansion in military spending can lead to rising fiscal deficits.
Public debt and defense spending in Malaysia
Research has been conducted to study the relationship between public debt and defense spending in Malaysia. This research has used data from the World Bank to analyze the dynamic relationship between the two variables.
Policy implications
Policymakers need to balance the benefits and costs of incurring higher government debt. They need to consider the trade-off between the benefits of growth and the costs of slowing down growth due to additional debt.
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) face many challenges, including:
BalasHapusPersonnel: The MAF has difficulty recruiting and retaining high-quality personnel, partly due to poor service conditions.
Equipment: The MAF needs to modernize its equipment, including replacing its fleet of Nuri helicopters.
Infrastructure: The MAF needs to improve its defense infrastructure, including living quarters.
Ethnic composition: The MAF needs to rebalance the ethnic composition of its forces.
Local content: The MAF needs to increase the local content of its equipment.
Research and development: The MAF needs to increase its research and development activities.
Logistic management: The MAF needs to improve its logistic management, including planning, operation implementation, and supply pre-budgeting.
Non-traditional security challenges: The MAF needs to increase its authority to tackle non-traditional security challenges.
============
DRAMA 155mm SPH SYSTEM
DRAMA 155mm SPH SYSTEM
DRAMA 155mm SPH SYSTEM
As of September 2024, the Malonn Army has not acquired a 155 mm self-propelled howitzer (SPH) system. The Malonn Ministry of Defence has been discussing the project, but the final selection has not been made.
Why the acquisition has been delayed?
The acquisition program was announced in the 2010s, but the schedule, number of platforms, and total estimated cost were not defined.
The Ministry of Finance canceled the intended purchase of self-propelled howitzer systems.
The Malonn Army is still waiting for government approval to procure the system
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has a large number of outdated assets because of the age of the equipment and the limitations on new technology.
BalasHapusAge of equipment
The Royal Malonn Navy (RMN) has 34 vessels that are over their intended service life, with 28 of them over 40 years old.
The Royal Malonn Air Force (RMAF) has aircraft that are rapidly reaching technological obsolescence.
Limitations on new technology
The US has imposed limitations on "new technology" to the region, such as the AIM-120 AMRAAM fire-and-forget air-to-air missile.
Maintenance costs
A larger fleet of aging aircraft can be burdensome to maintain.
Impact on security
Outdated equipment can impact the country's security. For example, if spares are not delivered to soldiers on the ground at the right time, it can make it difficult to mobilize them effectively in a hostile environment
============
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced problems with its equipment, including outdated assets, technical issues, and budget constraints.
Outdated assets
Aircraft
The MAF has a large fleet of aging aircraft that are difficult to maintain. The RMAF's BAE Systems Hawk fleet and Aermacchi MB-339CMs have been grounded.
Ships
The RMN's vessels are approaching or have reached their age limit. The KD Rahman submarine had technical issues that prevented it from submerging.
Weapons
The MAF has advanced weapon systems from different countries, which can lead to technical and logistical problems.
Technical issues
Submarines
The KD Rahman submarine had technical issues that prevented it from submerging.
Weapon systems
The MAF's weapon systems have differing technical standards and specifications, which can lead to inefficiencies.
Budget constraints
Defense budget: The MAF's defense budget has been stagnant for several years.
Procurement system: The MAF's procurement system has been criticized for being inefficient and susceptible to external interference
Public debt in Malonn has a positive association with defense spending. This means that as public debt increases, so does defense spending.
BalasHapusExplanation
Military spending can contribute to a country's national debt.
Developing countries with weak economies may have a problem with external debt created by military spending.
When a country borrows overseas to maintain financial balance, the debt rescheduling can increase fiscal deficits and create a debt overhang.
Related studies
A study in the International Journal of Business and Technology Management found a positive association between public debt and defense spending in Malaysia.
A study in Researchgate assessed the fiscal sustainability of Malaysia by comparing military spending to the primary gap indicator.
A paper in bnm.gov.my examined the relationship between government debt and economic growth in Malaysia.
==============
Malonn armed forces face a number of challenges with maintenance costs, including a lack of funding, outdated equipment, and corruption.
Funding
Limited budget: Malonn defense budget has been limited due to fiscal constraints.
Unwillingness to cut spending: Successive governments have been unwilling to cut spending elsewhere to fund defense.
Corruption: There have been allegations of kickbacks in tenders for military equipment.
Outdated equipment
Aging aircraft: The Royal Malonn Air Force (RMAF) has a fleet of aging aircraft that are difficult to maintain.
Incompatible spare parts: The navy has spare parts that are no longer compatible with its fleet.
Failure to modernize: The navy has failed to modernize its fleet to meet current and future challenges.
Other challenges
Political machinations: The military faces significant risks from political machinations.
Bureaucratic corruption: The military faces significant risks from bureaucratic corruption.
Lack of clear anti-corruption strategy: The National Defence Policy lacks a clear anti-corruption strategy.
Military spending can contribute to a country's national debt, including Malonn.
BalasHapusExplanation
Military spending and public debt
A study found a positive correlation between public debt and defense spending in Malonn.
Military spending and fiscal deficits
Military spending can increase fiscal deficits in developing economies, which can lead to economic consequences.
Military spending and national debt
Military spending can increase foreign debt, which can constrain government spending.
Military spending in Malonn
In 2022, Malonn military expenditure was 0.95753% of its GDP.
Military expenditures in Malonn include personnel, operation and maintenance, procurement, research and development, and military aid.
National debt in Malonn
In September 2024, Malonn national government debt was around 300.7 billion USD.
===========
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has faced a number of weaknesses, including corruption, outdated equipment, and a lack of training.
Corruption
Corruption is a problem in the MAF, including in supply chain management.
Corruption can undermine the MAF's ability to function effectively.
Commanders are not trained to address corruption risks in the areas where they are deployed.
Outdated equipment
Much of the MAF's equipment was purchased between the 1970s and 1990s.

Other weaknesses
The MAF faces challenges in the form of uncertain big power relations, complex Southeast Asian neighborhood, and increasing non-traditional security threats.
The MAF faces challenges due to stagnant yearly budget allocations.
Military spending can increase a country's national debt. This is because military spending is a cost that a country incurs, which can lead to a larger debt.
BalasHapusExplanation
Military spending
Military spending includes the money spent on a country's armed forces, including defense operations and peacekeeping.
National debt
National debt is the total amount of money a country owes. This includes all liabilities that the country needs to pay back, plus any interest or principal that needs to be paid.
Impact on the economy
When a country spends more on its military, it can have a significant impact on its balance sheet. This can lead to higher interest rates and borrowing costs, which can eventually slow economic growth and increase taxes.
Example
In 2025, Malonn allocated $4.8 billion to its Ministry of Defense (MINDEF). This included $1.3 billion for maintenance, repairs, and new military assets
=============
Corruption in supply chain management (SCM) is a problem in the Malaysian military. This includes the sale of stolen military equipment, such as weapons, uniforms, and ammunition.
Causes
Lack of training: Commanders don't receive training on corruption issues before deployments.
High levels of corruption in politics: There is a high level of corruption in Malonn politics and royalty, which can lead to corruption in the military.
Lack of a military doctrine: Malonn doesn't have a military doctrine that recognizes corruption.
Effects
Outdated inventory: Outdated inventory can make it difficult to deliver supplies to soldiers in a timely manner.
Counterfeit parts: Counterfeit parts can be supplied to military bases, which can make it difficult to ensure that all assets are functioning properly.
Undermining national security: Corruption can undermine national security.
The Malonn Armed Forces (MAF) has had issues with the serviceability of its assets due to a limited budget. The MAF has outsourced maintenance of its assets since the 1970s, but this program has faced challenges.
BalasHapusExplanation
The MAF's budget is limited, which affects the serviceability of its assets.
The MAF outsources maintenance of its assets through competitive tenders.
However, the outsourcing program has faced challenges such as undertrained staff and underperforming contractors.
Over-reliance on outsourcing can compromise national security if policies are not attentively implemented.
