Terror attacks planned at Selat Melaka

Singapore says terror attacks planned on oil tankers
AFP

SINGAPORE (AFP) - – An unidentified terrorist group is planning attacks against oil tankers in the Malacca Strait, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, the Singapore Navy and a shipping association said Thursday.

The Singapore Shipping Association said it had received an advisory from the Singapore Navy Information Fusion Centre about "an indication that a terrorist group is planning attacks on oil tankers in the Malacca Strait."

It said "this does not preclude possible attacks on other large vessels with dangerous cargo."

"The terrorists' intent is probably to achieve widespread publicity and showcase that it remains a viable group," the navy said in its advisory.

It reminded shipping operators that the militants could use smaller vessels such as dinghies and speedboats to attack oil tankers.

second submarine will arrive in June 2010

KOTA KINABALU, Jan 12 — Malaysia’s second submarine, KD Tun Abdul Razak, is expected to arrive at the Royal Malaysia Navy (RMN) base in Sepanggar Bay here in early June.

RMN Submarine Commander First Admiral Mohammad Rosland Omar said the Scorpene submarine was currently undergoing second phase trials carried out by its Spanish manufacturer Navatia in waters off Cartagena in Spain.

“The journey home is expected to take two months. Come June, we will have two submarines here,” he told reporters after a RMV region two naval base’s Quality Day at Sepanggar Bay here today.

Malaysia’s first submarine, KD Tunku Abdul Rahman (KD TAR) arrived at the Lumut naval base from Toulon, France in early Sept 5 last year before it was stationed at the Sepanggar naval base on Sept 17.

Mohd Rosland said more RMN personnel would be trained to man both submarines to meet RMN future needs.

RMN Region II commander First Admiral Anuwi Hassan said the operations and programmes of both submarines for the year and next year had been laid out. On challenges facing RMN, he said among them were operating aging vessels but RMN was able to put 70 per cent of them in service.

“Anyway, they are not too old to operate. They have not exceeded their life span, but the cost of maintaining them is staggering. But we are able to repair the breakdowns and put them in service.

“We hope to acquire new assets to back up the present fleet under the 10th Malaysia Plan,” he added. — Bernama

Kejayaan SELWA :TLDM tingkat pengambilan anggota wanita

Oleh AMIZUL TUNIZAR AHMAD TERMIZI
utusanperak@utusan.com.my

LUMUT 15 Jan. - Bermula tahun ini, Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) akan meningkatkan kuota pengambilan anggota wanitanya daripada empat kepada lapan peratus.

Panglima Tentera Laut, Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar berkata, langkah itu dibuat selepas mengambil kira sumbangan dan kepentingan wanita dalam perkhidmatan TLDM dan ia bakal memberikan peluang kepada anggota wanita untuk memperkembangkan kerjaya mereka.

Katanya, statistik terkini menunjukkan terdapat seramai 1,104 anggota wanita terdiri daripada 147 pegawai dan 957 lain-lain pangkat (LLP) dan ia bersamaan dengan 6.13 peratus kekuatan keseluruhan TLDM.

"TLDM tidak mengamalkan sebarang bentuk pilih kasih atau diskriminasi jantina dalam aspek pengurusan sumber manusia malah kita mengamalkan konsep orang yang tepat untuk pekerjaan yang tepat.

"Saya percaya kehadiran wanita dalam TLDM boleh melengkapkan pasukan dan boleh menyumbang ke arah pembangunan TLDM yang seimbang," katanya semasa berucap merasmikan Kem Wanita TLDM 2010 di pangkalan TLDM di sini hari ini.

Ketika ini pangkat tertinggi disandang oleh wanita dalam TLDM ialah komander dengan tujuh orang memegang pangkat itu.

Kebanyakan anggota wanita berkhidmat di pangkalan TLDM dan setakat ini, hanya empat pegawai iaitu masing-masing dua orang ditugaskan di dalam kapal iaitu KD Pahang dan KD Perak.

Menurut Abdul Aziz, TLDM sentiasa menghargai sumbangan yang dicurahkan oleh anggota wanita dan ia dapat dilihat pada bilangan anggota wanita yang dinaikkan pangkat pada sepanjang 2009.

Walaupun jumlahnya kecil kata beliau, anggota wanita TLDM berani mengorak langkah untuk menjadi cemerlang setaraf dengan anggota lelaki.

"Seramai 13 pegawai wanita dan 106 LLP wanita telah dinaikkan pangkat sepanjang 2009 dan ia merupakan 4.9 peratus daripada jumlah keseluruhan 2,430 anggota TLDM yang dinaikkan pangkat pada 2009.

"Pada tahun sama, seramai 190 anggota wanita juga dihantar berkursus di dalam dan luar negara iaitu sebanyak tiga peratus daripada jumlah 6,270 anggota yang dihantar berkursus," ujarnya.

Beliau memberitahu, sejajar dengan peningkatan anggota wanita yang berterusan, TLDM telah menubuhkan Sel Wanita pada 1 Mei 2009 dengan tujuan menjaga kebajikan wanita termasuk pembangunan kerjaya, hala tuju dan membendung isu sosial wanita.

"Banyak kejayaan telah dicapai oleh Sel Wanita TLDM dalam masa yang singkat seperti melantik pegawai penyelaras hal ehwal wanita di semua formasi, penggunaan baju mengandung TLDM serta bakal menggunakan tudung serta kasut kawad baru," katanya.

CNET - The Harimau Berantai

He was my training officer. We called him Musa the harimau berantai, or Tiger Musa something..u should know why..he cant see trainee, he surely got something to say, pick up or punished..u name it, not a single day of his time in KDP, we didn't hear his voice. From block to block, from hockey field to rugby, from navigation class to canteen. anybody ever think of going out from routine, think of him..u will be back to class immediately. When he was appointed as DA in France, we visited him. As i left the navy, we become friend..i am very surprised to see how mild he is and how gentle he is with his children.Back in KL, he was appointed as CNET. A i told him, how perfect the appointment is to him and the organization. To my surprised, the trainees also think as such, i never thought he will won trainees heart (certainly not our time, we pray for him to leave the training organization as soon as possible)He certainly has changed..the trainee so enjoyed having him around ahhhahhh...what time has done to our tiger?? yess now we become good friend...

Thank you sir for being good teacher, mentor and friend. You are one of few that we called naval germs..He never late for appointments, never let down any invitations, never missed his staff wedding, funerals and kenduri. U will never know where he got the energy to travel all over Malaysia, just to attend the invitations.

I salute you, sir...

Navy hero joins veterans on other side of world

A ROYAL NAVY veteran from Plymouth has travelled around the world to pay his final respects to fallen comrades.

Victor Gray, now 85, is one of dozens of former Second World War sailors who have jetted off to Singapore and Malaysia on a trip dubbed 'the Last Hurrah of the British Pacific and East Indies Fleet'.

It is the final official visit the veterans will make to the region as a group – 65 years after they battled Japanese bombers.

The commemorative visit sees 58 former servicemen paying emotional tributes to the 120 friends and colleagues who were killed there. The two-week trip sees the veterans – many of whom are now well into their nineties – travelling to Singapore and the Malaysian island of Penang, where captured Allied forces were held in a prisoner of war camp.
