KU LI = MALON MONKEY
KU LI = MALON MONKEY
MALONN had never enjoyed the status of being an “Asian Tiger” economy, instead it was more of “a monkey”, said former finance minister Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah.
Tengku Razaleigh, better known as Ku Li, dismissed the label which was claimed by many, including former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

I would say “DENGAR BOLEH PERCAYA JANGAN”
1. Politicians are not good at keeping their plan. Policy is changed depend on who is sitting on driver seat.
2. The gov is struggling to meet 36 units of FA-50. No fund will available in 2030.
3. RMAF is not ready to operate 5th gen fighters. Operating 5th gen is about networked environment not platform.
4. 5th gen fighter is costly in operating and maintaining which need significant increment in annual military budget.
5. Other branches and MMEA are under equipt that need attention.
6. Many homework should be done first such as LCS, OPV, SPH, used hornet etc.
In short, it is all about LIMA. This is just old gimmick because LIMA has less attractive and the EO has run of option to make LIMA great again.

FOOD CRISIS
RICE CRISIS
Meanwhile, the minister noted that in Malonn, rice scarcity has triggered panic among members of the public as dwindling stocks led to price increases, while the cost of imported rice has placed an additional burden on the people.
The conditions in Malonn showed that disruption in food stocks can cause social unrest. Food is not merely a basic need for the people but also a key factor in national stability,” he stressed.

The Royal Malonnn Air Force (RMAF) has faced maintenance and operational issues with its fighter planes. These issues include a lack of spares, serviceability problems, and the need to extend the service life of its aging fleet.
Maintenance and operational issues
• Sukhoi Su-30MKM fleet
In 2018, only four of the RMAF's 18 Sukhoi Su-30MKM aircraft were flyable due to maintenance issues and a lack of spares.
• Logistical constraints
The RMAF has faced logistical constraints that have affected the serviceability of its Sukhoi Su-30MKM fleet.
Aging fleet
• Service life extension: The RMAF has completed a service life extension program (SLEP) for its Sukhoi Su-30MKMs, which will extend the service life of the Russian type for at least another decade.
============
The Kuwaiti Air Force's (KAF) F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets may have compatibility issues with spare parts and software integration if acquired by another country. The jets are also older than the Hornets currently used by other countries, which could make them more difficult to maintain.
Compatibility issues
• The Kuwaiti Hornets are from an earlier production block than the Hornets used by other countries.
• The Kuwaiti Hornets may have received different upgrades than other Hornets.
Maintenance and servicing issues
• The older aircraft may require more maintenance and servicing.
• The older aircraft may have aging tech2 PAGES NOLogy that is difficult to keep relevant.
Operational budget issues
• Expanding the fleet with older aircraft may impact operational budgets.
Acquisition approval
• The acquisition of the Kuwaiti Hornets is contingent on approval from the United States, the original supplier of the F/A-18 jets

============
The Royal Malonnn Air Force (RMAF) has faced budget constraints and fleet sustainment problems. The government's limited defense budget and the need to cut spending on other priorities have made it difficult for the RMAF to modernize its air capabilities.
Budget constraints
• Frequent government changes: Since 2018, Malonn has had four Prime Ministers and governments, which has hindered defense development
• Fiscal cost of the COVID-19 pandemic: The government is still dealing with the fiscal cost of the pandemic
• Need to reduce the national deficit: The government needs to cut spending and reduce the national deficit
Fleet sustainment problems
• Aging aircraft: The RMAF has aging aircraft like the BAE Hawk 108 and MiG-29N
• Fleet sustainment: Maintaining a large fleet of aging aircraft can be expensive
