<h2>
<strong>Be prepared to be blown away!</strong></h2>
A great Malaysian-made military movie doesn't come along very often, but that's about to change really, really soon.<br />
<br />
Come 27 September, the highly-anticipated local movie '<strong>PASKAL: The Movie</strong>' will be shooting its way into cinemas.<br />
<br />
Starring Hairul Azreen, Ammar Alfian and Henley Hii, the movie follows a Lieutenant Commander from Pasukan Khas Laut (PASKAL) as he navigates the dangerous aspects of being a military man and at the same time, dealing with loss and betrayal.<br />

<br />
We've been treated to an early screening of the movie, and while we can't divulge too much about the movie, we are very certain that 'PASKAL: The Movie' will be the most explosive local film to hit cinemas this year.<br />
<br />
Here's why:<br />
<h1>
<strong><br /></strong></h1>
<h1>
<strong>#1 It's based on one of Malaysia's most elite military units</strong></h1>
<div class="post-credit">

<br />
If you have not heard of PASKAL before this, don't worry; we haven't either - until we watched the movie. PASKAL is one of Malaysia's - if not the world's - most elite military units.<br />
<br />
Not only are they the best at conducting small-unit maritime military operations, they are also adept at jungle warfare, guerrilla and counter-guerilla warfare, hostage rescue and even counter-terrorism. Be it on land, the sea or the sky, if you did something bad, they will hunt you down.<br />
<br />
In fact, PASKAL members are so highly-skilled and their reputation is so well-respected, a host of military units around the world, including the US Navy Seal, would come all the way to Malaysia just to train with the team. Check out the <a href="http://www.rojakdaily.com/lifestyle/article/5649/are-you-fit-enough-to-join-one-of-malaysia-s-most-elite-military-units" target="_blank">insane physical challenges</a> they have to go through if they want to join this group of really scary men.<br />
<h1>
<strong><br /></strong></h1>
<h1>
<strong>#2 The movie was inspired by true events</strong></h1>
<div class="post-credit">

</article>Based on a true story.</section></div>
We've seen our fair share of 'based on true story' films over the years, but how often do we see one from Malaysia? 'PASKAL: The Movie' will change that. The director of the film, Adrian Teh, told us that the movie is inspired by two off-the-radar but very successful PASKAL missions.<br />
<br />
One involves the re-possession of a chemical tanker which was hijacked by pirates in the Indian Ocean in what the military called 'the perfect mission'.<br />
<br />
The other involves the rescue of several rescue volunteers by a PASKAL member after their convoy was attacked by a group of gun-wielding men in Angola. Here's a fun fact: the PASKAL member managed to rescue the volunteers despite not having a firearm to defend himself.<br />
<h1>
<strong><br /></strong></h1>
<h1>
<strong>#3 It features real-life PASKAL members</strong></h1>
<img alt="" height="360" src="https://astrokentico.s3.amazonaws.com/rojakdaily/media/2nicholas/paskal/jxuq1452.jpg" width="640" />One of the coolest parts about the movie is that it's not just based on the life of PASKAL members, they are literally the stars of the movie too. Director Adrian told us that instead of using cameo actors, he's decided to feature real-life PASKAL soldiers in the movie to make the scenes more believable.<br />
<br />
So, if you see some muscular, mean-looking dudes on screen during the movie, yep, they are probably PASKAL members.<br />
<h1>
<strong><br /></strong></h1>
<h1>
<strong>#4 The actors performed their own stunts</strong></h1>
<img alt="" height="426" src="https://astrokentico.s3.amazonaws.com/rojakdaily/media/2nicholas/paskal/_l2_3823.jpg" width="640" /><br />
Real men do their own stunts, right? Director Adrian revealed to us that the main actors in the film, especially Hairul Azreen and Ammar Alfian, performed their own stunts in the film. One of the most challenging stunts in the film involves the actors being dumped into a pool with their hands and legs tied, and both Hairul and Ammar were required to free themselves underwater.<br />
<br />
To prepare for their roles, Director Adrian said the actors spent a few weeks training and living like a PASKAL trainee at their base camp in Lumut, Perak. They were also put through actual PASKAL physical training, such as operating firearms and basic jungle survival.<br />
<br />
Judging by the injuries suffered by the actors (Ammar actually <a href="http://www.rojakdaily.com/entertainment/article/5715/kerana-paskal-muka-koyak-gegendang-telinga-pecah-pun-ammar-alfian-tak-ada-hal" target="_blank">ruptured his eardrum</a> performing a stunt), you know the film is going to be amazing.<br />
<h1>
<strong><br /></strong></h1>
<h1>
<strong>#5 Everything is real!</strong></h1>
<img alt="" height="359" src="https://astrokentico.s3.amazonaws.com/rojakdaily/media/2nicholas/paskal/oyir3211.jpg" width="640" />Perhaps the most impressive bit about the movie is that the production crew went to great lengths to ensure that what you see on screen is as real as it gets. That means that every gun, every bullet fired, the physical trainings and the military code of conduct are the real deal.<br />
<br />
Director Adrian revealed that they always have a firearm expert and a PASKAL liaison on set to ensure everything they do mirrors the real life, from the way they hold the guns to the military salutes. Nothing is made up (well, except for the plot twist in the film).<br />
<br />
The Super Lynx 300 helicopter and the <em>KD Tunku Abdul Rahman</em> submarine you saw in the trailer? Yep, those are real military assets used by the PASKAL team for their missions.<br />
<br />
<br />
So, are you guys excited to catch 'PASKAL: The Movie' when it premieres?<br />
<br />
'PASKAL: The Movie' will be released in local cinemas on <strong>27 September 2018</strong>, so you still have time to plan a movie night with all your buddies. </div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">At a recent launch in Kuala Lumpur, Teh shares what he hopes to achieve with the project: “When I did my research on Paskal, which is an elite team in the Royal Malaysian Navy that focuses on special operations, I was amazed by the stories of their successful missions.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I was wondering how come most of us are not aware of this? That’s when I decided to make this movie to let the audience see what members of Paskal can do.”</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The RM10mil production by Asia Tropical Films include GSC Cinemas and Multimedia Entertainment as investors.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Later this month, Teh and his team will embark on a two-month shoot at locations in Kuala Lumpur, a TLDM base at Lumut in Perak, Sabah and Morocco for the movie, which is scheduled for release next year.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">His cast include the likes of Hairul Azreen who plays Lieutenant Commander Arman Anwar, Ammar Alfian as rebellious team member Jeb and <a href="https://www.star2.com/entertainment/music/music-news/2016/04/04/malaysian-singer-henley-hii-wants-to-take-you-home/" rel="noopener" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: 0px 0px; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; text-decoration-line: none; transition: color 200ms ease 0s, background-color 200ms ease 0s, text-shadow 200ms ease 0s, box-shadow 200ms ease 0s, border 200ms ease 0s;" target="_blank">Henley Hii</a> as fellow team member Joshua.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The movie also includes Mixed Martial Arts fighter Theeban Govindasamy who will be making his acting debut as Misi.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It took Teh three months to assemble his main cast members. Then he made them undergo a three-day intensive Navy training in Lumut.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The cast had to take swimming lessons, knife training as well as learn to assemble weapons like a soldier. </span>Teh<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> also required some of them to lose weight to achieve a </span>leaner<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: center;"> look.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Actor Ammar, who is known for his muscular physique, had to shed as much as 20kg. “It was difficult at first. I had to change my diet … and then things got easier,” he said.</span></div>
<h4 style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 18px; font-weight: 500; line-height: 1.1; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 10px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Although Teh made his name through romantic offerings like<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"> Ice Kacang Puppy Love </em>and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">The Wedding Diary, </em>he is sure he will be able to handle an action flick like <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Paskal.</em></span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I really want to raise the bar on action movies in Malaysia. That’s why I want my team to go through a series of training sessions so they can really immerse themselves in their roles.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“At the same time, <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Paskal </em>is a story about friendship and these sessions should help my cast members form a sense of brotherhood,” Teh added.</span></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Paskal</em> will feature two rescue missions inspired by real-life events in Angola back in 1998 and the MT Bunga Laurel hijacking in 2011.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The History of Paskal or "Pasukan Khas Laut" began in 1975, when The Royal Malaysian Navy saw a need for a security regiment trained in modern maritime warfare. It's main purpose is to protect naval bases all over Malaysia. The first batch of 30 officers, led by Captain Sutarji Kasmin (now Admiral, retired), was sent to the Malaysian Army's Special Warfare Training Center (Pusat Latihan Peperangan Khas) located at Sg Udang Military Camp, Melaka, Indonesia KOPASKA (TNI-AL/Indonesian Navy Underwater Combat Unit), Royal Marine Commando, UK and BUD-SEAL, USA. On 1st October 1980, PASKAL was officially established when the Government started to enforce the EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) which covered 200 nautical miles off Malaysian waters. Other than that, there was also a requirement to protect Malaysian offshore stations near the disputed Spratly island. Therefore, "Pasukan Khas Laut" (PASKAL) an elite navy commando team was formed on 1st October 1982 that able to execute military combat in total at sea, air and land. </span>PASKAL has an associate training program abroad such as the SAS/UK, NGSLO , BUD/SEAL, EOD - USA, Submarine Escape - Australia, Assault Swimmer - Australia, Clearance Diver - Australia/USA, Sniper Supervisor - Australia and Mountain Climbing - France, SASR Australia etc. On 26 August 1991, the National Security Council declared NAVY PASKAL is the main task force team to neutralize any terrorist attempt against oil rigs and oil tanker/ship and to act as one of the elements in Pasukan Aturgerak Cepat (PAC) or "Immediate Response Team".<a href="http://navypaskal.blogspot.de/2008/01/history.html" style="font-family: inherit;">More</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175584108222000219.post-59810735953874750142016-01-11T06:06:00.002+08:002018-08-29T16:42:30.511+08:00Projek Filem Paskal (Promo)<iframe allowfullscreen="true" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" height="315" scrolling="no" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fnavypaskal.my%2Fvideos%2F10153607229508381%2F&show_text=0&width=560" style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" width="560"></iframe>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bagi membendung ancaman pengganas termasuk kumpulan militan Negara Islam (IS), satu eksesais melawan keganasan selama seminggu yang julung kali melibatkan pelbagai negara diadakan di sini hari ini.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Eksesais melibatkan seramai 173 peserta daripada 10 negara ASEAN dan Emiriyah Arab Bersatu (UAE) di Lapang Sasar Menembak Antarabangsa Langkawi (Lisram) itu dianjurkan bersama oleh Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) dan Polis Diraja Malaysia (PDRM) menerusi Strategi Lautan Biru Kebangsaan (NBOS).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Turut terlibat Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia (Maritim Malaysia).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eksesais dikenali sebagai MNCTX itu dirasmikan oleh Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi. Yang turut hadir Panglima Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM), Jeneral Tan Sri Zulkifeli Mohd. Zin dan Ketua Polis Negara, Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Pasukan ATM diwakili oleh Grup Gerak Khas (GGK), Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) dan Pasukan Khas Udara (Paskau), PDRM pula diwakili Komando VAT69 dan Unit Tindakan Khas (UTK) manakala Maritim Malaysia, Pasukan Tindakan dan Penyelamat Maritim.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 1.3;">SEPANGGAR 20 Julai - Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) telah menempatkan pelbagai aset ketenteraan di pantai timur Sabah sebagai langkah serius menangani kegiatan penjenayah di kawasan perairan tersebut.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Perkara itu ditegaskan Panglima Tentera Laut, Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar yang menyatakan antara aset tersebut termasuk kapal Bunga Mas 5, yang pernah berkhidmat mengekang lanun di Teluk Eden sebagai markas atas laut.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Menurutnya, aset lain adalah bot pemintas laju yang mampu memperkukuhkan pengawasan di perairan.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Sebanyak tiga buah bot pemintas CB90 serta bot RHIB yang digunakan oleh Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal), dua buah bot baharu iaitu Silver Brize serta bot P38 yang baharu diterima TLDM pada Disember lalu turut ditempatkan di kawasan terbabit.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
"Tujuan penempatan aset ini adalah bagi memudahkan gerak memintas secara lebih pantas ke atas kumpulan penjenayah yang cuba membolosi perairan negara," katanya.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Beliau berkata demikian dalam sidang akhbar selepas majlis berbuka puasa warga TLDM Kota Kinabalu bersama Sultan Selangor, Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah di sini semalam.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yang turut hadir ialah Panglima Armada, Laksamana Madya Datuk Mohamad Roslan Mohamad Ramli dan Panglima Wilayah Laut 2, Laksamana Muda Datuk Mohd. Rosland Omar.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dalam majlis itu, Sultan Selangor turut sudi mencemar duli menyampaikan sumbangan kepada anak-anak yatim dan saudara baharu.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mengulas lanjut, Abdul Aziz berkata, tindakan menempatkan kapal Bunga Mas 5 adalah tepat kerana kapal tersebut dilengkapkan dengan radar pengawasan dan berupaya mengoperasikan helikopter untuk melakukan tinjauan jauh.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jelas beliau, helikopter yang berkeupayaan untuk beroperasi pada waktu malam itu dilihat pilihan terbaik dalam menjaga perbatasan negara daripada diceroboh pihak tidak bertanggungjawab.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Selain itu tambahnya, TLDM juga sudah mengatur gerak sebuah kapal perang iaitu KD Lekiu yang turut dilengkapkan dengan sebuah pesawat Super Link ke Sabah bagi menjaga perairan di sempadan.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Katanya, keupayaan semua aset itu diharap dapat memantapkan lagi aktiviti pengawasan tentera.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">KEJAYAAN Tentera Darat (TD) menjayakan Eksesais Belangkas yang memberi fokus kepada operasi amfibia terhad membuktikan kesediaan serta kemampuan pasukan berkenaan berhadapan dengan cabaran sebenar.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Latihan kali ini melibatkan kira-kira 900 pegawai dan anggota TD dengan turut disertai Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) dan Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM) dengan objektif untuk melatih kakitangan perancang bagi Proses Perancangan Operasi Amfibi Bersama dalam persekitaran operasi.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Menerusi latihan itu yang dijalankan pada pukul 8.30 pagi, sebanyak 100 askar musuh lengkap bersenjata berat menjadikan puncak bukit sebuah ladang kelapa sawit sebagai kubu kuat bagi menghalang kemasukan pasukan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM).</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Disebabkan puncak bukit berkenaan adalah lokasi strategik pertahanan yang sudah ditawan musuh, anggota pasukan keselamatan negara perlu bersedia untuk menyusup masuk dan merampas kembali bukit berkenaan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bagi tujuan itu, pasukan daripada Grup Gerak Khas (GGK), Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal), Pasukan Khas Udara (Paskau) dan 10 Briged Para ditugaskan menawan semula kawasan musuh serta misi bagi mengelak keadaan lebih buruk.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kapal perang KD Sri Mahawangsa TLDM turut diletakkan dalam keadaan berjaga-jaga dengan sistem persenjataannya dihalakan ke kawasan musuh.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tepat pada pukul 9.45 pagi, lebih 10 perahu tempur melakukan pendaratan di persisiran pantai sejauh kira-kira 300 meter daripada markas musuh.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sejurus kemudian, kawasan ladang kelapa sawit berkenaan mula dihujani dentuman kuat hasil tembakan artileri yang menghujani penempatan serta kubu musuh.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tembakan daripada dua pesawat Hawk 208 termasuk kapal KD Sri Mahawangsa berjaya mengkucar-kacirkan pertahanan musuh, sekali gus memberi ruang lebih 900 anggota tentera daripada pelbagai unit dilengkapi raifal M-16, menyusup masuk untuk melakukan serangan jarak dekat.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dalam tempoh kurang 30 minit, anggota pasukan keselamatan berjaya menembusi pertahanan dan menawan kubu musuh sekali gus menamatkan penguasaan tentera musuh di bukit ladang kelapa sawit berkenaan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kejayaan menawan semula puncak bukit itu menjadi simbolik kepada majlis penutup Eksesais Belangkas Siri 27/2013 yang dijalankan di Kampung Telok Gong, Pengkalan Balak, Melaka.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Asisten Ketua Staf Operasi dan Latihan TD, Mejar Jeneral Datuk Abdul Samad Yaakob berkata, latihan itu juga bertujuan menguji keberkesanan sistem komunikasi antara perkhidmatan, khasnya kemampuan komunikasi kapal ke darat.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Latihan ini juga berperanan menguji keberkesanan teknik, taktik dan prosedur terhadap penggunaan platform amfibia yang dikenal pasti serta melatih kedua-dua komponen TD dan TLDM dalam melaksanakan operasi pendaratan amfibi," ujarnya.</span></div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Menurut Abdul Samad, beliau berpuas hati dengan prestasi anggota pasukan terbabit dan menyifatkannya sebagai berjaya mencapai matlamat.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Melalui latihan itu, anggota kita dilepaskan seolah-olah menawan semula pekan Telok Gong yang ditawan oleh pihak musuh.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">"Kita juga dapat menguji kecekapan, kebolehan dan kemantapan infantri 10 Briged Para termasuk yang lain dan mereka berjaya melaksanakan misi," katanya.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Latihan yang berakhir pada pukul 2 petang itu turut dihadiri Panglima 10 Briged Para, Brigedier Jeneral Tengku Ahmad Noor Tuan Chik; Pegawai Memerintah KD Sri Mahawangsa, Kapten Roslee Mohammad Isa dan Pegawai Staf 2 Markas Operasi Udara Kementerian Pertahanan, Mejar Izwan Zainal Amran.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">SESUAI dengan reputasinya sebagai laluan laut paling berbahaya di dunia, perairan Teluk Aden, Somalia menyimpan seribu satu cerita tidak menyenangkan kepada kapal-kapal perdagangan yang melalui kawasan tersebut.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lanun di perairan sepanjang 3,300 kilometer (km) itu terutamanya, telah menjadi ancaman besar kepada sektor perkapalan antarabangsa sejak fasa kedua Perang Saudara Somalia pada awal abad ke-21.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mempunyai kedudukan strategik di bahagian selatan kawasan The Horn of Africa, Teluk Aden menyaksikan banyak siri rompakan dan rampasan kapal perdagangan yang merugikan penggiat perniagaan setiap tahun.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sejak 2005, badan-badan antarabangsa, termasuk Pertubuhan Maritim Antarabangsa dan Program Makanan Dunia menyatakan kebimbangan mereka terhadap peningkatan gejala perlanunan di kawasan tersebut.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Atas kesedaran itu, Malaysia telah melancarkan Ops Fajar bagi menjamin keselamatan kapal-kapal dagang kita pada tahun 2008 dan memasuki siri kesembilan kini.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Menerusi operasi tersebut, Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) digerakkan menaiki kapal auxiliary Bunga Mas 5 dan 6 untuk melindungi kapal-kapal dagang Malaysia.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kejayaan terus terukir bagi kru Ops Fajar apabila dua tahun lalu, sebuah kapal dagang iaitu MT Bunga Laurel berjaya diselamatkan selepas dua jam ditawan lanun, kira-kira 300 batu nautika (555 kilometer) di timur Oman,</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tidak lama selepas itu, sebuah Pasukan Perlindungan Khas (PPK) Bunga Mas 5 terdiri daripada enam anggota komando Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) berjaya mematahkan cubaan lanun merampas kapal dagang MT Eagle Stealth milik MISC.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dalam kejadian tersebut, lima bot laju dinaiki antara 10 hingga 15 lanun dipercayai dari Somalia cuba merapati kapal tersebut ketika belayar merentasi Bab Al-Mandeb, 30 batu nautika dari Al-Mukha, Yaman.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jelas Panglima Tentera Laut, Laksamana Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Jaafar, kejayaan menangkap tujuh lanun Somalia sekali gus mengagalkan cubaan lanun tersebut mencerminkan kesiapsiagaan tempuk ketumbukan tersebut.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Bermula Ops Fajar dilancarkan sehingga kini, belum ada satu pun kapal MISC yang berjaya ditahan lanun Somalia.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">TLDM dengan kerjasama pihak MISC telah melancarkan kapal auxiliary kedua iaitu Kapal auxiliary Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM) Bunga Mas 6 pada 8 Ogos 2011.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sehingga ke kini, setelah beroperasi selama 1,390 hari, Kapal Auxiliary TLDM Bunga Mas 5 telah berjaya mengiringi 234 buah kapal MISC dalam 194 konvoi. Kapal Auxiliary TLDM Bunga Mas 6 pula telah berjaya mengiringi 41 buah kapal MISC dalam 41 konvoi," katanya.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Gaya Tentera berkesempatan menaiki sendiri Bunga Mas 6 yang diketuai Komander Kapten Mohd. Nazri Sharif, 40, pada Pameran Udara dan Maritim Antarabangsa Langkawi (LIMA) 2013 baru-baru ini.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kapal setinggi tujuh tingkat tersebut turut menempatkan ruang mendarat helikopter pasukan Rajawali Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM), tempat menginap dan ruang latihan pasukan Paskal manakala pusat pengemudian seluruh kapal berada di tingkat paling atas.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Dikemudi Pasukan Simpanan Sukarela Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (PSSTLDM), Bunga Mas 6 merupakan antara tarikan utama segmen maritim pada LIMA 2013.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kapasiti normal kapal yang dahulunya juga sebuah kapal dagang tersebut boleh memuatkan lebih 100 anak kapal dan barangan dagangan setiap kali operasi dijalankan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mohd. Nazri memberitahu, konvoinya yang membawa kira-kira 25 anggota Paskal akan memulakan rutin operasi dengan mengiringi kapal-kapal dagang MISC bermula di Lumut sehingga ke sebuah checkpoint yang ditetapkan di sempadan Teluk Aden.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kemudian, jelasnya, pasukan Paskal akan memulakan mobilisasi ke kapal yang diiringi itu bagi memastikan sebarang bentuk ancaman lanun tidak wujud terhadap kapal berkenaan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sepanjang saya mengetuai Bunga Mas 6, tiada sebarang ancaman yang besar berlaku kepada kapal-kapal MISC, cuma percubaan-percubaan kecil yang akhirnya berakhir dengan lanun-lanun tersebut menyedari bahawa kapal dagang kita diawasi Paskal lalu menghilangkan diri.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Namun begitu, kelibat kumpulan bersenjata api termasuk raifal M16 dan AK-47 di atas bot pancung berdekatan dengan laluan kapal sememangnya sebuah pemandangan yang biasa bagi kami," ujarnya.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wartawan turut mengambil kesempatan untuk bertanyakan berhubung pengalaman Mohd. Nazri sewaktu operasi menyelamatkan MT Bunga Laurel tersebut dua tahun lalu.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Mengimbau semula kejadian tersebut, Ahmad Nazri memberitahu, kejadian pada pukul 7 petang pada 20 Januari itu masih segar dalam ingatannya memandangkan peristiwa berkenaan melibatkan 21 anak kapal dagang milik MISC, Bunga Lauren hampir terkorban dan menjadi tebusan.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Menurutnya, kejadian berlaku ketika beliau dan pasukannya yang menaiki kapal Bunga Mas 5 mengiringi Bunga Lauren ke Lautan Arab pada hari tersebut sebelum menerima laporan kapal dagang tersebut didekati lanun menggunakan bot pancung dan bersenjatakan raifal AK-57.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kami tidak dapat menghubungi mereka dalam tempoh 10 minit dan selepas itu kami menjenguk kapal milik MISC berkenaan dan ditembak lanun.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Lantas itu, kami berpatah balik ke kapal tersebut untuk membantu dan apabila komunikasi pulih, kami segera arahkan mereka untuk bersembunyi di dalam bilik enjin," katanya kepada pemberita.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jelas Mohd. Nazri, sebaik sahaja tiba, kapal mereka telah ditembak lanun yang berusia dalam lingkungan 15 hingga 27 tahun tersebut sebelum 14 anggota Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal) menyelinap masuk ke kapal dan berlaku insiden tembak-menembak.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Insiden tembak menembak itu, jelas beliau, berakhir lapan jam kemudian iaitu pukul 3 pagi dengan kesemua lanun berjaya ditangkap.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-size: 12px; line-height: 1.3; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Kesimpulannya, Ops Fajar membuktikan kejayaan TLDM dalam melaksanakan misi dan visi mempertahankan negara selain Ops Pejarak di Pulau Perak, Kedah dan Pulau Jarak, Perak; Ops Sinar Sakti di gugusan Semarang Peninjau, Sabah dan Ops Daulat Benua di perairan Sabah Timur.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Malaysia's MISC Berhad, in collaboration with the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and the National Security Council (NSC), has successfully modified its containership Bunga Mas Lima into a RMN Infantry Assault Vessel for the purpose of destroying the Somali Pirate in the Gulf of Aden.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The project was undertaken following last year's hijacking of MISC's ships Bunga Melati Dua and Bunga Melati 5. Since the incident, RMN launched OP FAJAR, a assault mission, with the aim of total anihilation of Somali pirate and has since sent five ships, namely, KD LEKIU, KD SRI INDERAPURA, KD MAHAWANGSA, KD SRI INDERA SAKTI and KD HANG TUAH in support of that mission.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The Bunga Mas Lima, a 699 TEU containership, is the first Malaysian merchant ship to be modified as an Infantry Assault Vessel for TLDM. The modification work was carried out by Malaysia Marine and Heavy Engineering Sdn Bhd (MMHE), the heavy engineering arm of MISC, at MMHE's yard in Pasir Gudang, Johor.

Malaysia Armed Forces have been building many of these DUMB bases day and night, unceasingly, since the early 1997. These bases are interlinked connected by high-speed magneto-leviton trains that have speeds up to 900km/h. <br />
<br />
The average depth of these bases is over a kilometer. <br />

The KD Panglima Hitam in Sepanggar, Sabah is the largest Malaysia underground military facility. Used for the Royal Malaysian Navy Naval Station. It was built in secret using a special funding from the special project division. 100 Bilion Ringgit were the estimated cost although the actual number could be more.<br />
<br />
Built under a granite mountain, which render the base impeneterable by cannon, Bunker Buster bomb and able to withstand a direct hit by a nuclear missile. <br />

LUMUT: EXERCISE Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (Carat) 2012, jointly conducted by the Malaysian and United States armed forces, and designed to enhance maritime security skills and operational cohesiveness, ended on a positive note.<br />
Royal Malaysian Navy Fleet Headquarters commander Vice-Admiral Datuk Abdul Hadi Rashid and US Logistics Group Western Pacific commander Rear Admiral Thomas F. Carney officiated at the closing ceremony of the exercise at the RMN's Maritime Tactical Centre here recently.<br />
Abdul Hadi said activities and training were conducted smoothly.<br />
Carat 2012, he said, besides promoting understanding, cooperation and interaction between both groups of armed forces members, had also served as a platform to foster a better relationship between Malaysia and the United States.<br />
Meanwhile, Carney, who was involved in every programme on the schedule, said everyone had worked together professionally for a common goal.<br />
"The lessons learnt during the exercise are immeasurable, and the bond of friendship forged between the participants are a very important mechanism and good foundation for future exercises," he noted.<br />
Since its inception in 1995, Exercise Carat, under the American and Malaysian training programme pact, has been hosted annually by the RMN.<br />
The exercise generally covers post command and field training procedures.<br />
Exercise Carat 2012, held over a period of eight days, covered a broad spectrum of military and social activities, such as command post exercises, military operations, a law and public affairs symposium, a medical symposium, diving operations, an explosive ordnance disposal exercise, community service, an engineer community assistance programme and force protection training.<br />
The exercise involved 1,000 members of the US Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps who arrived here onboard USS Germantown, the frigate USS Vandergrift and coast guard cutter Waesche.<br />
About 200 members of the RMN, Royal Malaysian Air Force and Royal Malay Regiment Airborne Unit also took part.<br />
Earlier, Exercise Carat 2012 was launched by US Ambassador to Malaysia Paul W. Jones and Joint Forces Command head (Air Force) Maj-Gen Datuk Abu Bakar Md Said at the Maritime Tactical Centre.</div>

THE recent pirate attack on a Panamian-flagged, Japanese-owned, Filipino-crewed, Malaysian-chartered, Singapore-bound tanker, the MT Bunga Laurel in the high seas off the Gulf of Aden highlighted the escalating seriousness of the piracy threat in that region.<br />
<br />
Only the quick and decisive action of the Royal Malaysian Navy’s elite team of commandos or Paskal, prevented the horrific possibility of a hijacking and kidnapping for ransom of the vessel and the 23 crew on board. Seven pirates were apprehended.<br />
<br />
The prosecution of the captured Somali suspects would be Malaysia’s first trial involving high-seas piracy and as such careful planning and implementation of the trial is essential to ensure successful prosecution of perpetrators.<br />
<br />
(According to latest news report on Feb 1, the Somali pirates were remanded at the Bukit Jalil detention centre until Feb 6).<br />
<br />
The event also highlighted the complexity of the piracy situation worldwide, especially on the question of what to do with the apprehended pirates. Unfortunately, it is not as easy as making them walk the plank.<br />
<br />
Factors to be considered<br />
<br />
Various factors have to be taken into consideration such as costs, logistics, ability to prosecute, due process, and human rights aspects.<br />
<br />
Customary law codified in The Law of the Sea Convention 1982 (Unclos) establishes high-seas piracy as a universal crime. Pirates are described as enemy of mankind and as such, all sovereign nations have the jurisdiction to apprehend, prosecute, and punish acts of piracy regardless of where it happens, the pirate’s nationality, the registry of the ship or the destination of the cargo.<br />
<br />
Unclos defines piracy as any illegal acts of violence, detention, or depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship and directed against another ship or against persons or property on board such ship on the high seas or in a place outside the jurisdiction of any state.<br />
<br />
It has to be noted however, that universal jurisdiction only applies to piracy beyond the jurisdiction of any nation, i.e., the high seas. Pirate-like acts that take place within the jurisdictional waters of a state, such as those that occur in the Straits of Malacca, remain the responsibility and under the jurisdiction of that littoral state and perpetrators are often charged for armed robbery.<br />
<br />
Despite the carte blanche nature of universal jurisdiction, prosecution must still come under the framework of local legislation and many countries are wary of or unwilling to shoulder the responsibility of prosecuting apprehended pirates due to the logistical and legal burdens.<br />
<br />
The escalating cost incurred throughout the duration for which pirates have to be kept in custody pending transportation and trial, the piecing together of evidence and the gathering of witnesses who may be scattered across the globe, the trial, language barriers, legal assistance to the accused, would all prove to be major hurdles.<br />
<br />
Underage pirates will add another layer of complexity to the matter in terms of the different laws applicable as well as the need to adhere strictly to human rights standards.<br />
<br />
Pirates are still humans and therefore, entitled to due process and fair treatment while in custody. Political concerns can also be a deterrent and the media scrutiny of the matter may not be welcomed. In the United Kingdom for example, the possibility of pirates staying indefinitely as asylum seekers after incarceration or due to failed prosecution has deterred the United Kingdom from transporting captured pirates for prosecution on UK soil.<br />
<br />
Further, there is the concern over the likelihood of the suspects receiving harsh treatment in Somalia upon deportation which would violate British Human Rights Act.<br />
<br />
Solutions available<br />
<br />
To counter the various legal concerns and logistical difficulties of transporting pirates over long distances to be tried in the arresting state, arrangements were made with a number of East African States to prosecute arrested pirates and to help repatriate hostages.<br />
<br />
Malaysia however, has not signed any memorandum with Kenya or Seychelles or any other East African country that allows them to receive and prosecute pirates caught by the Malaysian navy. As such, the choices of what to do with captured pirates are restricted to catch and release, handing over to the barely functioning Somalia, or transporting them to be tried in Malaysian courts. Catch and release will undermine international anti-piracy efforts and only encourage future acts of piracy. Handing them over to Somali authorities where they will most likely be treated harshly or released for being national heroes, is also not a viable option.<br />
<br />
It is certainly commendable that the Malaysian Government has decided to prosecute the captured suspects on Malaysian soil thereby, shouldering its international obligations towards repressing piracy. The Courts of Judicature Act 1964 (CJA) and the Penal Code firmly establishes universal jurisdiction to prosecute high sea piracy in Malaysia.<br />
<br />
However, the domestic legal framework for the crime is lacking. Malaysia does not have legislation or a provision catering specifically to the crime of piracy and has not incorporated any definition of piracy in domestic legislation.<br />
<br />
As such, the captured suspects will have to be tried for other crimes that could best fit the bill such as armed robbery, criminal conspiracy or even terrorism if certain elements are met. Our dilemma is that while the suspects are brought here for the crime of piracy under the international principle of universal jurisdiction, yet when tried, are charged under different offences. Would Malaysia still retain the jurisdiction to try the suspects then?<br />
<br />
The MT Bunga Laurel is neither a Malaysian registered ship, nor crewed by Malaysians. Malaysia’s links to the vessel are as the arresting state and in relation to the cargo. It would be less complicated if the ship was Malaysian-registered as it would then provide Malaysia the extraterritorial jurisdiction to try the suspects for any offence under the Penal Code or under any other domestic legislation. Piracy however, usually refers to a broad range of violent acts at sea. Illegal violent acts of piracy under Unclos include armed robbery, murder or assault.<br />
<br />
Therefore, the suspects could technically be charged with armed robbery or other penal offences.<br />
<br />
More comprehensive future<br />
<br />
A comprehensive national anti-piracy enactment would ensure a more effective framework to try and punish pirates for various acts of piracy. It would provide for piracy whether within or beyond Malaysian jurisdiction and could cover acts such as hijacking, kidnapping for ransom, armed robbery or any act that jeopardises Malaysian interests at sea. It would dispel any uncertainty in conducting the prosecution and ensure that any piratical act committed would be met with just punishment. The right tool is required to do the job properly.<br />
<br />
Malaysia and its neighbours have been exemplary in successfully suppressing pirate-like acts in the Straits of Malacca. High-seas piracy however, is a different kettle of fish. The recent attack on MT Bunga Laurel was not the first time that a Malaysian-linked ship has been targeted by pirates.<br />
<br />
In August 2008, MISC tankers MT Bunga Melati Dua and MT Bunga Melati Lima were hijacked within days in the Gulf of Aden. It is high time for Malaysia to improve its legal regime concerning piracy by enacting a national anti-piracy law.<br />
<br />
It was reported in the media not so long ago that a national anti-piracy legislation is in the pipeline. This is certainly a positive development towards enhancing and strengthening the domestic legal framework to deal with piracy that threatens Malaysia’s maritime interests in whatever form.<br />
<br />
Perhaps, the Government could also look into the various regional efforts against piracy and consider entering into other joint cooperation efforts. Until a robust international legal regime dealing with piracy can be established and a strong domestic legal framework developed, the best recourse would lie in taking the necessary deterrent steps to foil any pirate attacks before they occur.<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">Members of the Royal Malaysian Navy’s special forces unit foiled an attempt to hijack the Malaysian-owned tanker, MT Bunga Laurel, about 300 nautical miles (555 kilometres) east of Oman Thursday, according to<a href="http://af.reuters.com/article/somaliaNews/idAFL3E7CM03C20110122"> Reuters,</a> with reports coming in just hours ago. The rescue took place just hours before the South Korean operation. </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">Similarly to the Korean government, Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib Razak said his government was studying international law on how to deal with the pirates: </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">"We will determine what we should do, whether we are going to bring them here to be tried or take any other appropriate action.”</span></blockquote>
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">The rescue, which occurred a few hours before the South Korean navy operation, began when a Malaysian Navy auxiliary ship, the Bunga Mas, received an emergency signal from the Bunga Laurel, which was 15 nautical miles (26 kilometres) away. Navy chief Admiral Abdul Aziz Jaafar said: </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">"At exactly 11.40 p.m., Bunga Mas 5 called MISC's Emergency Reporting Centre to report that Bunga Laurel had been attacked and pirates were attempting to board the ship by using skiffs.”</span></blockquote>
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">Malaysia’s <a href="http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/1/22/nation/7852548&sec=nation">The Star </a>also quoted the prime minister, who said: </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<blockquote>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">“I am proud of the success. They had acted efficiently and demonstrated their bravery in rescuing the tanker.”</span></blockquote>
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">The Star said the rescue was carried out by the Malaysian navy’s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PASKAL">PASKAL</a> special operations unit, which is similar to the US Navy SEAL teams. The PASKAL team boarded the ship, followed by an exchange of fire between the commandos and the pirates, in which three of the latter were wounded. The pirates then apparently surrendered. </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">The <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-pacific-12258442">BBC </a>reported an attack helicopter was also involved in the rescue, but did not specify the type or the action it carried out. </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">The two rescues within hours of each other are heartening news, but the BBC report points out that pirate attacks went up 10 percent from 2009 to 2010, with pirates taking an all-time high of 1,181 hostages in 445 attacks, hijacking 53 ships and killing eight sailors. </span><br />
<div style="padding-bottom: 15px;">
</div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white; font-family: Arial,Helmet,Freesans,sans-serif;">All this at least 30 major naval ships and the navies and air forces of the EU and NATO, as well as Australia, New Zealand, Russia, India and China taking part in counter-piracy patrols. </span></div>

</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">KUALA LUMPUR 21 Jan. – Kecekapan Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) sekali lagi terbukti apabila berjaya menyelamatkan sebuah kapal dagang MT Bunga Laurel selepas dua jam ditawan lanun, kira-kira 300 batu nautika (555 kilometer) di timur Oman, semalam.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Misi menyelamat itu dilakukan bersama kapal auxiliary (bantuan dan tugas-tugas khas) Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), Bunga Mas 5 yang terlibat dalam Operasi Fajar bagi memberi perlindungan kepada kapal MT Bunga Laurel itu ketika melalui perairan Teluk Aden.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Dalam kejadian kira-kira pukul 11.40 malam tadi, kapal dagang yang disewa MISC Berhad itu telah ditawan sekumpulan tujuh lanun warga Somalia yang bersenjatakan senapang jenis AK-47 dan pistol.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Kumpulan lanun itu menaiki sampan yang diturunkan dari sebuah kapal induk membawa seramai 18 lanun untuk menyerang kapal dagang berkenaan yang membawa muatan minyak pelincir dan bahan kimia jenis ‘ethylene dichloride’ dari Asia Barat ke Singapura.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Seramai 23 krew kapal MT Bunga Laurel berjaya diselamatkan tanpa sebarang kecederaan dalam misi menyelamat yang dilancarkan Pasukan Perlindungan Khas ATM itu.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Dalam kejadian itu juga, kesemua tujuh lanun berkenaan berjaya ditahan manakala tiga daripadanya cedera ketika berbalas tembakan dengan tentera ATM.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Menurut kenyataan yang dikeluarkan Kementerian Pertahanan di sini hari ini, rampasan itu berlaku selepas dua jam kapal MT Bunga Laurel dipisahkan di perairan selamat setelah diiringi Bunga Mas 5.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">“Krew kapal MT Bunga Laurel sempat mengaktifkan sistem penggera keselamatan kapal sebelum bersembunyi di bilik keselamatan khas yang terletak berhampiran bilik jentera kapal.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">“Bertindak daripada panggilan kecemasan itu, kapal Bunga Mas 5 yang berada 14 batu nautika (25.9 kilometer) dari MT Bunga Laurel bergegas ke lokasi kejadian untuk membantu,” katanya.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Dalam operasi tersebut, sebuah helikopter jenis Fennec TLDM yang dilancarkan kapal bantuan Bunga Mas 5 melepaskan tembakan dari udara.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Menurut kenyataan itu lagi, tembakan tepat ke arah kapal induk lanun itu berjaya menghalangnya daripada memberi bantuan kepada kumpulan lanun yang berada atas kapal MT Bunga Laurel.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">“Pasukan Perlindungan Khas ATM kemudian melancarkan operasi menggempur lanun itu pada pukul 1.20 pagi dan selepas berbalas tembakan, kesemua lanun itu berjaya ditahan manakala anak kapal itu diselamatkan,” jelas kenyataan itu.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Operasi Fajar yang bermula Julai tahun lalu berikutan insiden rampasan dua kapal tangki MISC 2008, memperlihatkan sokongan kuat kerajaan, ATM dan TLDM dalam menjaga kepentingan negara. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Kapal bantuan Bunga Mas 5 yang diubah suai daripada sebuah kapal kontena merupakan yang pertama seumpamanya di Malaysia.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Ia dilengkapi hangar menempatkan pesawat Super Lynx dan bot tempur milik TLDM untuk melaksanakan operasi defensif mahupun menyerang jika diperlukan.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Dalam pada itu, kenyataan Kementerian Pertahanan memaklumkan, sebanyak 32 buah kapal dagang masih ditawan lanun di perairan Teluk Aden walaupun pelbagai usaha di peringkat antarabangsa dilakukan untuk menangani kegiatan lanun di perairan Teluk Aden itu.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Sementara itu, jurucakap TLDM ketika dihubungi memberitahu, semua 32 kapal yang ditawan lanun itu tidak melibatkan kapal dagang dari Malaysia.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: white;">Jurucakap itu berkata, kesemua 23 anak kapal Bunga Laurel termasuk beberapa warga Filipina yang diselamatkan tidak mengalami kecederaan dan akan dibawa pulang tidak lama lagi.</span></div>

The tanker, laden with lubricating oil and ethylene dichloride that was headed for Singapore in the nick of time was attacked by the mothership with 18 armed pirates about 300 nautical miles (555 km) east of Oman at 11.40pm. Under the cover of darkness, seven pirates armed with AK-47 assault rifles, light machine guns and pistols suddenly emerged from a skiff boat and began boarding the tanker, firing at random. The crew of MT Bunga Laurel activated the alarm and MISC Emergency Reporting Centre (ERC) received a security emergency indication at about 11.37pm. With the received an order to rescued, the PASKALs in two boats, led by Lieutenant Commander Mohd Maznan Bin Mohd Said and Lieutenant Noor Asri Bin Roslan, were deployed from Bunga Mas Lima auxiliary ship, located 14 nautical miles (25.9 km) away, at 1.20am with the help by Fennec attack helicopter piloted by Lieutenant Jason Solomon John provided reconnaissance and aerial cover.<br /><br />The PASKALs boarded the tanker and subdued the pirates and starting the gunfight with the commandos while the helicopter launched a several shots to the pirate's mother ship at bay. At least three pirates wounded in the shootout with the commandos, four captured on board while 11 more on their mothership decided to surrender and seized the weapons and ammunitions. The 23 Bunga Laurel crews successfully rescued and no among casualties and losses to Filipinos and Malaysians including PASKALs in the battle. The swift action prevented the MISC from losing the cargo worth an estimated RM30mil, and saved 23 Filipino crew members on board the vessel. The Bunga Mas Lima had just completed the task of escorting the tanker and another MISC liquefied natural gas carrier, MT Seri Balhaf, bound for Fujairah, to a safe zone called Easton 4 in the gulf. Malaysian Prime Minister <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Najib_Razak">Najib Razak</a> praised the team for their efficiency in dealing with the crisis; the captured pirates were eventually brought to Malaysia to be tried.<br />

TLDM dalam satu kenyataan berkata, latihan itu yang dilancarkan pada 29 Julai di Pangkalan TLDM Kota Kinabalu dan berakhir hari ini, merupakan latihan yang pertama kali melibatkan kapal selam KD Tunku Abdul Rahman bersama 10 lagi kapal perang dalam Armada TLDM selain pesawat Super Lynx dan Fennec.<br />
Menurutnya, dengan memiliki kapal selam sendiri, TLDM tidak lagi perlu bergantung kepada penglibatan kapal selam tentera laut asing untuk melatih kapal-kapal penangkis kapal selam TLDM dalam taktik dan prosedur peperangan. <br />
"Turut serta adalah Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal), kumpulan penyelam dan pasukan pertahanan udara, dua buah pesawat pejuang Hawk dan pesawat maritim Beechcraft serta Helikopter Nuri dari Tentera Udara Diraja Malaysia (TUDM).<br />
Latihan ini melibatkan lebih 1,000 anggota TLDM dan TUDM," menurut kenyataan itu.<br />
Latihan kemahiran laut ini lazimnya dilakukan tiga kali dalam setahun oleh setiap Markas Wilayah iaitu Markasa Armada di Lumut (Perak), Markas Wilayah Laut 1 di Tanjung Gelang (Pahang), Markas Wilayah 2 di Kota Kinabalu, dan Markas Wilayah Laut 3 di Langkawi.<br />
Namun ia kini dikurangkan kepada hanya sekali setahun bagi menjimatkan perbelanjaan dan untuk latihan kali ini, kesemua latihan di peringkat wilayah digabungkan. - BERNAMAUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175584108222000219.post-8825772690078376082010-06-16T07:15:00.001+08:002010-09-13T13:05:05.547+08:00Perang Pangkor, uji kesiagaan TLDM<h3></h3><div class="byline">Oleh AMIZUL TUNIZAR AHMAD TERMIZ</div><div class="byline">Utusan Malaysia </div><table align="Right" border="0" cellpadding="3" style="width: 300px;"><tbody>

WALAUPUN negara sentiasa berada dalam keadaan aman, kesiagaan sesebuah pasukan keselamatan amat penting untuk menghadapi sebarang kemungkinan berlakunya perang dan mempertahankan kedaulatan negara.<br />
Sekiranya perang meletus, pasukan keselamatan perlu bersedia bukan sahaja dari segi kecekapan anggota tetapi turut merangkumi aspek persenjataan, teknikal dan taktikal.<br />
Justeru, bagi sesebuah angkatan perang, latihan berkala secara kerap merupakan landasan yang terbaik untuk menguji kesiagaan pasukan secara menyeluruh.<br />
Bagi Tentera Laut Diraja Malaysia (TLDM), eksesais Perang Pangkor merupakan latihan yang paling kerap diadakan saban tahun untuk menguji kesiagaan pasukan dan meningkatkan kepakaran mereka dari semasa ke semasa.<br />
Apa yang lebih penting, eksesais tersebut merupakan pentas untuk menilai keupayaan TLDM dalam melaksanakan misi sebenar.<br />
<br />

<br />
Eksesais yang mula diperkenalkan pada 2006 itu digelar Perang Pangkor kerana ia diadakan di perairan Pulau Pangkor, tidak jauh dari Pangkalan TLDM Lumut, Perak.<br />
Namun, latihan tersebut sebenarnya berasal daripada eksesais ‘Thursday War’ (Perang Khamis) yang diamalkan oleh Tentera Laut Diraja United Kingdom tetapi di sini, ia diadakan pada hari Rabu dan bukan secara mingguan.<br />
Eksesais Perang Pangkor biasanya melibatkan semua kapal TLDM yang beroperasi pada hari tersebut termasuk dari pangkalan TLDM di Kuantan dan Sabah.<br />
Pada 28 April lalu, TLDM sekali lagi mengadakan eksesais Perang Pangkor dan buat pertama kalinya, wartawan daripada pelbagai pertubuhan media diberikan peluang untuk ikut serta.<br />
Latihan yang bermula dari pukul 1.30 petang hingga hampir pukul 1 pagi itu melibatkan kapal KD Kedah, KD Lekiu, KD Sri Indera Sakti, sebuah helikopter Fennec dan helikopter Superlynx, dua buah pesawat Hawk TUDM dan tiga bot Pasukan Khas Laut (Paskal).<br />
Aspek pertama yang diuji ialah kecekapan Paskal KD Panglima Hitam untuk mengambil alih kapal perang dan membebaskan tebusan.<br />
Dalam latihan tersebut, sebuah helikopter Fennec yang menempatkan penembak tepat menghampiri kapal KD Sri Indera Sakti dan berlegar-legar di udara untuk mengelirukan pihak musuh.<br />
Pada masa sama, anggota Paskal yang menaiki dua bot tiba dan memanjat kapal dari bahagian belakang serta tengah untuk menyusup masuk ke dalam kapal tersebut dan diikuti satu lagi kumpulan Paskal yang turun di bahagian belakang kapal menggunakan tali dari sebuah helikopter Superlynx.<br />
Dalam tempoh 10 hingga 12 minit sahaja, seramai 32 anggota Paskal berkenaan sudah berjaya menawan kapal KD Sri Indera Sakti dan membebaskan tahanan.<br />
Ketua Markas Armada TLDM, Laksamana Pertama Mior Rosdi Mior Mohd. Jaafar berkata, senario tersebut boleh dilihat daripada pelbagai aspek sama ada membebaskan kapal yang ditawan musuh dan membebaskan krew atau merampas kapal milik pihak lawan.<br />
Katanya, kemampuan Paskal menyelesaikan operasi tersebut dalam tempoh kurang 12 minit menunjukkan keupayaan serta kecekapan pasukan itu untuk menghadapi situasi sebenar.<br />
“Jika kapal milik Malaysia ditawan oleh lanun, TLDM boleh mengerahkan Paskal untuk merampas semula kapal tersebut walaupun di perairan negara mana sekalipun ia berlaku,” katanya semasa eksesais Perang Pangkor Siri Siri 6/2010 di Lumut baru-baru ini.<br />
Selepas berjaya menguji kemampuan Paskal menangani ancaman atas permukaan air, kini tiba giliran kapal-kapal TLDM pula diuji dalam menghadapi ancaman di udara.<br />
Dalam ujian itu, dua pesawat Hawk TUDM berkali-kali melintasi Kapal Sri Indera Sakti, KD Lekiu dan KD Kedah untuk menguji kemampuan sistem radar dan pertahanan kapal-kapal tersebut.<br />
Kemampuan kapal-kapal TLDM melakukan gerakan sukar menggunakan kemahiran tinggi turut diuji selain pemindahan barang atau orang dari kapal ke kapal atau lebih dikenali sebagai ‘jackstay’.<br />
Tidak lengkap latihan TLDM sekiranya sistem persenjataan kapal tersebut tidak diuji keberkesanannya terutamanya bagi memastikan ia benar-benar boleh digunakan.<br />
Oleh itu, pada sebelah malam, ketiga-tiga buah kapal yang terlibat dalam eksesais tersebut melakukan latihan penembakan untuk menguji ketepatan tembakan sistem persenjataan di kapal-kapal berkenaan.<br />
Caranya, tembakan 'military flares' atau tembakan cahaya api tentera dilepaskan ke udara dan ketiga-tiga kapal tersebut menembak ke arah cahaya yang dijadikan sebagai arah sasaran.<br />
Latihan tersebut diadakan di sebuah kawasan di perairan Selat Melaka yang diwartakan khas untuk latihan ketenteraan, kira-kira 45 kilometer dari Pangkalan TLDM Lumut.<br />
Selain itu, TLDM turut mengadakan latihan melawan kebakaran dan mencegah banjir supaya anak-anak kapal sentiasa bersedia dan tahu apa yang perlu dilakukan jika keadaan tersebut berlaku di kapal masing-masing.<br />
Mior Rosdi yang ditemui selepas tamatnya latihan itu, berkata, eksesais Perang Pangkor kali ke-6 pada tahun ini berjaya mencapai objektifnya untuk menguji kemampuan TLDM untuk menghadapi pelbagai bentuk peperangan.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4175584108222000219.post-8809299128816148732010-05-04T06:12:00.001+08:002010-08-15T06:16:29.560+08:00Navy and air force test preparedness for enemy attacksBy IVAN LOH<br />

EARDRUM-busting sounds of rockets and machine-gunfire echoed through a dark and starry night over the Straits of Malacca near Pangkor Island.<br />
<br />
A hostile presence was then caught on the radar of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) vessels — KD Lekiu, KD Sri Indera Sakti and KD Kedah.<br />

Projectiles were launched and within minutes, the threat was destroyed in a burst of flame.<br />
<br />
This was a scenario that the RMN put up to show members of the media fraternity on how they operate during an attack.<br />
<br />
Members of the media were invited by the navy to have a rare insight on their routine exercises at sea recently.<br />
<br />
KD Lekiu commanding officer Commander Mohamad Azuwan Harun said the exercise was as close as it would be to a real war.<br />
<br />
“All exercises are done realistically to prepare crew members for any eventuality they may have to face in the future. The exercises also teach them the importance of teamwork and decision-making,” he added.<br />
<br />
He said the exercise also aimed to test the capabilities and competence of the naval ships.<br />
<br />
He noted that this was to ensure that the ships were always in tip-top condition and ready to be sent out for missions.<br />
<br />
Earlier, the navy was also involved in an anti-terrorist exercise when its Special Forces (Paskal) team was deployed to reclaim a ‘hijacked’ KD Sri Indera Sakti from terrorists.<br />
<br />
The ships also participated in an anti-air and tactical exercise where they had to detect and track down enemy planes.<br />
<br />
RMN fleet commander Vice-Admiral Datuk Seri Ahmad Kamarulzaman Ahmad Badaruddin, who was also present during the exercise, gave a commentary on the navy’s operations for the pressmen.<br />
