(Free Malaysia Today) - A probe is continuing into how a RM50million fighter jet engine belonging to the Royal Malaysian Air Force went missing from the Sungei Besi base in 2007when the current Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak was Defence Minister.
The engine was sold to an international company based in South Africa. Also found missing were maintenance and other service records of the jet.It was reported that the General Electric J85-21A afterburner turbojet engine, which served as a power plant for the single-seater F-5E Tiger 11 and RF-5E Tigereye, went missing late last year during a routine maintenance service check.
Yesterday, Defence Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi blamed the well-planned theft and sale of the engine on a group of low-ranking officers working in cahoots with civilians.

What investigation is he talking about? NST reported that those responsible have been dealt with, militarily I suppose, as at end of last year.
What the f is this defense minister talking about?
What is the big deal the case suddenly appearing with much publicity now, but not then?

You are absolutely right to say that low ranking officers are involved in the 50 million engine theft.
If it were the middle officers, it would be 500 million! Am I right?
If it were the top brass it ould be 500 billion right or not?
It it were the ministers it would be 500 trillion right or not?
No SHAME KAH TALKING LIKE THAT?

Believe me, this is exactly what happened with our TUDM!!!

But if it happened before your watch, then you have the obligations to bring to book the previous DM. Huh.... I wonder who it was .....
I just hope the US Govt not putting us on a terrorist watch because of this incidence. After all, we watch so many movies where sensitive military parts go missing only to end up being dealt to terrorists group for sinister activities. And sometimes, Hollywood parallels reality.

Just imagine, the UMNO government administration is now so screwed up that almost anyone from top-down can steal and squander away the country's properties and wealth almost at will! My God! RM50 million for low-ranking officers to steal freely!
Using this as a yardstick, imagine the millions, billions already stolen by high-ranking corrupt officers, Ministers and perhaps current and former PMs too! The UMNO shit is coming from all directions! Looking at it any other way, this inept UMNO government must go! People, let's screw them back, vote them out! Damn it!

The Defence Minister is definite correct that only the low-ranking officers can be charged. The mastermind and those who pocket the lion share of the sale will be scot-free. That is why corruption spreads in the country. The three charged under PKFZ project did not get the billion ringgit in the land sale. The billionaires benefited from PKFZ are free to enjoy the money with impunity, but he low-ranking operators wil be charged and the matter is close.
During peace time, jet engines got sold. At the time of war, the fighter planes would be at the decision of the pilots, to sell, or to crash.

Maybe planes are missing but reported fell down from the skies!
How about submarines? How many did we buy and how many are still out there sailing in the seas and how many are missing without the Raayat knowing!
How many tanks are stil working instead of sitting around in some warehouse or is it already being sold as scrap to the steel scrap owned by Maniam?
It is really a shame lah, Najis!
I am totally ashamed of this. Maybe the police should arrest the reporter who report this under ISA instead of finding and catching the perpetrators behind bars?

1) MIG 29 jet fighter- crashed other than war.
2)BA hawk 100 & 200 jet fighter-crashed other than war.
3) F-18 Hornet jet fighter- crashed other than war.
4) KD Inderapura support ship burned- purposely burned in order to justify the new purchase
5) F5E Tiger II jet engine -stolen and sold
6) NEXT : Will our submarines' torpedo and ship to ship missiles also quietly sold to black market later???
I think Malaysia should be conferred the the most laughing stock incidents by Guinness Book of Records.

Yet you dumb bell tell us that Musa and his men are looking for it , they cant even find their acorns and mistletoe between their legs --- so how is it possible to find this big a deal they made Zahid?
To top it all ,this is a small matter for you and Najib - i know !---- You think the West is a fool to sell you a Nuclear Plant?? You cant even speaka proper Englande-- so how will you answer if you are called to a hearing with Washington??

If you don't believe just look through all previous task forces or committees established by government to investigate into something that came to public attention. At the end it is doing nothing.
It reminds me of the British comedy serious known as Yes, Minister and Yes, Prime Minister. But you can't blamce the government as Malaysians keep returning them to power after every election.

And we also believe that the engine is the only thing missing in the whole army in Malaysia! 
Don't worry about anything go on honey mooning with your 1Malaysia motto!
Anyway what is 50 mil, nothing!
Mahathir 100bil... and all of UMNO..BN..still ok to support UMNO! No problem!





















That a jet engine can go MIA must make our air force the butt of jokes the world over.
It is imperative, it goes without saying that the truth must be told, the culprits punished!!
