yeah maybe fall asleep....
"It's about doing things better in the spirit of ASEAN sovereignty,
and the beginning of co-operation between the littoral states," he
added.
The EiS is a component of the Malacca Straits Security Initiative
aimed at attaining maritime domain awareness over the Straits of
Malacca and Singapore. It will initially be undertaken by the three
littoral states – Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore – together with
Thailand.
The armed forces of the participating countries will provide
resources like maritime patrol aircraft and a combined maritime
patrol team on board the aircraft.
With an EiS Operations Centre established in each of the
participating countries, the aircraft will conduct two patrols a
week, along the designated sectors of the area of operations.
Again you fall asleep, wonder how u r going to take your
MBA.
Please dun be so straight jacket type, tho all countries around
the region on the surface voted to curb pirates along the
strait of Malacca, each is waiting for each to put in funds and
effort, and bear in mind those who had interest along that strait
will definitely put in more effort while those who do not gain much
from the trade road will just wait and see. Even that, the
efficiencies of each Navy is also questionable, if you at the
indonesia Navy, i have no doubt some of them also have a hand on
pirates activities. In the news alone, recently a sg Navy guy was
charged for helping Indonesia Navy to smuggle cigarette into
Singapore, so how are you going to trust each other. But as said,
on the broader and wider view, dining and wineing among the Foreign
counterparts is just a show of co operation and togetherness on the
surface, but deep down, I have doubt that they co operate and do
their uptmost to protect the strait.
Even recently the USA and Jap help out the local navies here,
because USA alway want a dominate of sort just like a policeman,
and the jap got oil trade interest between Arabs and them. So, if
singapore it to maintain the world best port, we have to contribute
more than others.
