Submarines? Sokhoi jets? Do we need those? Ooooo such lofty thoughts my dear but you are wrong. We are talking about new toys!
Golly! Now it seems that Malaysia needs new helicopters to replace the armed forces’ outdated and accident-prone fleet of Nuri aircraft.
Hello! I am not talking about toy helicopters.
Malaysiakini did a review of Malaysia Today's report  here.
Hold your horses! Don't feel so happy.
Remember - when something is revealed...certain people will pooh-pooh the idea, scoff at those allegations and ask people to have FAITH.
*faint*
It should be ask people to FAINT and not to have FAITH!!!!
Malaysiakini reports here:
The issue was highlighted in two letters last week - dated Oct 7 and 9 respectively - addressed to former defence minister Najib Abdul Razak, who is also deputy prime minister and finance minister.
In a five-page letter obtained by Malaysiakini, Mentari Services Sdn Bhd chairperson Capt (rtd) Zahar Hashim outlined several discrepancies and questioned the legitimacy of the deal to buy a dozen of choppers from German-French firm Eurocopter.
Among others, he stated in another letter on Oct 9 - which bore corrections to the prices stated in the first letter - that the government could have purchased double the number of helicopters and still save almost one billion ringgit.
“(With) the price offered by Eurocopter for 12 units of Cougar EC-725 worth (an estimated of) RM2.3I7 billion, the government could purchase 30 Kazan-M172 (from Kelowna Flightcraft Ltd for RM1.419 billion) which fulfills almost all the specifications required by the armed forces,” he said.
“The difference in the price offered by Eurocopter and the price offered by Kelowna Flightcraft Ltd is RM1.419 billion.”
Zahar’s Mentari Services is believed to be representing Canadian-based Kelowna Flightcraft - one of the three companies which had unsuccessfully bid for the multi-billion ringgit contract.

This Q was posed to them. What's 2 2?
the 1st man, a lawyer calmly said, "TWO" and asked back, are there anymore Qs sir? If not I shall rest my case.
The interviewer was quite impressed.
Then the 2nd man walked in and took his seat. He is a scientist. Again the same Q was posed to him. He took out a piece of paper and scribbled some formulas and took out his calculator and fiddles with it. After 5mins he concluded that, if the ambient temperature of the room is observed and there are no drastic change to the force of nature, my answer would be 3.99999
The interviewer was very impressed. He stood up and shake the man's hand.
Then finally came the last man. He wasnt much of a bright man and he came from a very big organisation. He had no proper qualifications and the only thing he is good at is the will to succeed at all costs.
He took his seat and was posed the same Q. After listening to that Q, he stood up. Walked to the windows and drew the curtains. And he walked to the side of the interviewer with a sly look and whispered into his ear, "what figure would you want it to be"?
