Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng praised the professionalism of the Navy and agreed the submariners are “Exceptional warriors, dedicated and diligent in their work”.
He said this to media after a diving trip 60 nautical miles off the coast of Langkawi in RMN submarine KD Tun Razak.
“We must agree that the submariners are professional and exceptional warriors. Whether or not we agree the value for money for the acquisition, that’s different story”. Lim refuse to answer the direct question on the wisdom of the acquisition of the strategic asset for ATM.
Lim and Deputy Chief Ministers Prof Ramasamy and Dato’ Mansor Othman were flown by RMN air wing to Frigate KD Lekiu and later was transferred by small boat to KD Tun Razak. They were accompanied by Fleet Operations Commander Vice Adm Dato’ Jamil Othman.
Two TV3 and one Bernama journalists sailed with KD Tun Razak from Awana Porto Malai this morning to the rendezvous point. About 30 other journalists sailed on board of frigate KD Jebat to rendezvous point, to cover the event.
He also explained that he agreed that the submarine had teething problem and sometimes during the early stage, it could not dive for certain faulty equipments.
