Missing jet engines: Action against high ranking officers

[Ithunk]

KUALA LUMPUR: Action will be taken against high-ranking officers overseeing the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) fighter jet at the time when its RM50mil engines were stolen, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

 

He said the action to be taken will be decided during the next meeting of the Malaysian Armed Forces Council of which he was the chairman.

 

Describing the thieves as traitors to the nation, Dr Ahmad Zahid vowed that those found guilty would have to pay a heavy price for the crime.

i guess going for engines belonging to decommissioned planes carries a lower chance of getting detected.

Sold to a private collector? Some hyper-rich plane collectors will pay alot for a military aircraft, even if it has been decommissioned.

military law no capital punishment... max is only DB, just how many days... no caning, no hanging

 

but can be trial outside of military law i guess

 

 

 

anyway in singapore, lose 1 bino or some optical stuff already a lot of pple jumping..... really cant imagine how to lose 1 jet engine

i think it is potential international pressure that force them to take action so decisively....

 

cos if the engine lands up with terrorist, they face a lot of trouble getting more weapons next time....

 

 

 

dont think they wont be so bothered if they had lost an entire fleet of tonners even if worth more than a jet engine.
