He will be the youngest member of Ayie Clan, and will be treated same as others in disciplinary, portion of chocolate , ice-cream, bed and nasi lemak. But definitely will be lavish in love and attention.

He will run and jump with Andy. Athikk Min..in 2 years time we will buy him a proper bicycle for him to go around with uncle Nik, swim like a divers and play with PSP as good as his dad. I am absolutely sure that he will be a whiz kid but know how to kick a ball as abg Zari will be his coach.

By IVAN LOH

LUMUT: The Royal Malaysian Navy’s biggest landing craft, the KD Sri Inderapura caught fire while berthed at the naval base here.

The vessel, which was scheduled to transport logistic goods to the Markas Wilayah Laut Dua in Kota Kinabalu on Monday had caught fire at about 6.30am Thursday.

Firemen were trying to put out the fire from the naval dockyard and from sea while assisted by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, local tugboat operators and employees from the Boustead Naval Shipyard.

At 3pm smoke was still seen from the vessel as firemen continued to fight the fire.

A total 77 crew members, including six officers and 22 trainees were on duty on board the ship when the incident happened. No one was injured.

It was the second time that the navy vessel had caught fire since 2002. The vessel was built in 1970 and had been accredited in service in 1995.

KD Sri Inderapura was also among several other navy vessels that had escorted Malaysian trading ships from pirate attacks across the Gulf of Aden in Somalia last year.

Karlskrona
Karlskrona is a city in south-eastern Sweden, which was founded in 1680 when the Royal Swedish Navy was relocated there. The city is an exceptionally well preserved and complete example of a European naval base, built in the
period when these were being established by several major maritime powers.
The original plan and many of the buildings have survived intact, along with installations that illustrate its subsequent development up to the present day. The town’s topography is complex and comprises a number of islands, some of which have been joined together by causeways/infill.

Wellcome back RMN Submariners - KD TAR

Malaysian Navy gets its first submarine

Malaysia News.Net
Thursday 29th January, 2009 (IANS)

Malaysia has taken delivery of its first submarine, a Scorpene built by French military shipyard DCNS in partnership with Spanish shipyard Navantia.

It has been christened KD Tunku Abdul Rahman after the country's first prime minister, the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has announced.

Malaysia's second submarine, named KD Tun Razak after the country's second prime minister, is expected to be delivered in October, official news agency Bernama said.

The Scorpene, a conventional submarine built in Cherbourg, France, can dive to a depth of between 100m and 200m, the statement said.

It also said the submarine was equipped with six torpedo tubes, anti-ship surface missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes, adding that the vessel could carry 10 torpedoes and 30 mines, The Star newspaper said.

The submarine programme also includes the redeployment of an Agosta class submarine retired from the French Navy, for the training of submarine crews.

The training of 150 Malaysian sailors, mainly in Brest, France, represents an important aspect of the programme.


Like other former British colonies, The RMN has its origins in the British naval presence in Malaya and the rest of Southeast Asia. It is one of the more advanced navies in the region whose task includes defending its part of the Straits of Malacca, which is a major sea lane that has witnessed piracy.
