• Beijing demanded M'sia immediately halt all activities in oil-rich area off S'wak  
• demand made in protest note sent to Malaysian embassy last week
• Philippine Daily Inquirer published the document 
• despite softer diplomatic tones from Madani to soothe giant neighbour
  

OSTB : How come Malaysian Daily Conqueror did not publish anything? No cojones again?

• document accused M'sia of encroaching on 10-dash line
• Beijing's displeasure over M'sia's oil, gas exploration near Luconia Shoals
• known to M'sia as Gugusan Beting Raja Jarum 
• referred by China as "Nankang Ansha" and "Beikang Ansha".
• reefs are 100 km from S'wak, 2,000 km from mainland China.

OSTB : Here is the solution. Please buy anti-ship missiles with mobile launcher from the Houthis with 150km - 200km range. Hello Panglima Angkatan Tentera, TLDM, TUDM, Army jangan duduk diam.

• Chinese urge Msia to genuinely respect territorial sovereignty of China
• China flexing its military muscle in the area

• nine-dash line declared illegal in 2016 by Court of Arbitration in The Hague
• China's warning less than 3 months after Madani described China "true friend"
• "I stressed.. M'sia sees area as M'sian territory"  Madani briefed Dewan Rakyat
• "But if China feels this is their right, Malaysia is open to negotiations."

• former PM Muhyiddin said M'sia's territorial rights not open to negotiation
• openness to negotiate territorial rights risk of threat to national sovereignty

OSTB : Buatlah naval exercise sekali atau dua kali setahun dengan Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Singapura. 

Philippine has bought Brahmos supersonic missiles.

 

"In January 2022, the Philippines concluded a US$375 million deal with India for three batteries of shore-based anti-ship variant of the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles, becoming the first export customer for the joint venture missile between India and Russia. The first batch of missiles was delivered this April. 24 Jun 2024"

OSTB : US$375 million only ah? So cheap.   Kita belilah THREE BATTERIES for US$750 million? We are Malaysia. Why pay less for more?
