Mohamed Khaled: Third-batch LMS acquisition deal to be finalised after tabling of 13MP
KUALA LUMPUR — The decision on the acquisition of the third batch of the littoral mission ships (LMS) for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) is expected to be finalised only after the tabling of the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP), slated for later this month. Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin (picture) confirmed this when addressing speculation surrounding the purchase of new naval vessels, following Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's recent visit to Italy. 'All new acquisitions will be confirmed after the tabling of the 13MP. During the Prime Minister's recent visits to Italy and France, the matter was among the topics discussed. 'The countries involved have also expressed willingness to offer credit facilities should Malaysia proceed with any procurement involving their assets, which could include infrastructure or public amenities support,' he said at a press conference after launching the LTAT Foundation's Five Education Initiative Programmes, here today. On July 2, Anwar held meetings in Rome with leaders of major Italian defence and energy firms, including Fincantieri, Leonardo, and ENI, to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the defence and energy sectors. The visit also saw the announcement of potential investments worth RM8.13 billion. During Mohamed Khaled's official visit to Türkiye in June last year, the Ministry of Defence had awarded a Letter of Acceptance (LOA) for the procurement of three second-batch LMS vessels to Turkish defence firm Savunma Teknolojileri Muhendislik (STM). These second-batch LMS vessels are based on STM's Ada-class corvette design and are equipped for multiple roles, including patrol missions and anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Each of the ships will also be armed with ATMACA surface-to-surface missiles and air defence systems. Capable of operating at sea for up to 14 days, each vessel can accommodate 111 crew members and will include a helipad and hangar for a medium-lift ASW helicopter or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Malaysia previously spent over RM1 billion to acquire four first-batch LMS vessels from China, which have been gradually integrated into the RMN's fleet since 2020. — BERNAMA

Probe starts after plaint to CP against TMC MLA
1 2 3 Kolkata: A complaint was lodged with police commissioner Manoj Kumar Verma against Trinamool MLA Kanchan Mullick for intimidating and misbehaving with an on-duty doctor at School of Tropical Medicine (STM). Cops at the Bowbazar PS are probing the complaint.

Malaysian man strikes $4m lottery after betting on his, girlfriend's IC numbers for 3 years, Malaysia News
For the past three years, a man from Selangor, Malaysia, has been placing lottery bets with the same set of numbers. His persistence paid off last Sunday (July 6), when he struck a jackpot of RM14.6 million (S$4.3 million) on a Toto game, Malaysia's gambling operator STM Lottery said in a press release. The 33-year-old project manager revealed the digits are a combination of his and his girlfriend's identity card numbers, which he started using after meeting his girlfriend three years ago. "I always play Lotto games with this winning set of numbers, 4, 8, 11, 18, 20 and 29, and I would buy eight draws in advance," he was quoted as saying. The "personal connection" made the win "feel even more surreal", said the punter. The man added that he had a sleepless after checking the results last Sunday and has not told anyone about the news as he needed time to process the overwhelming prize amount, STM lottery said in a press release. The overnight multi-millionaire intends to use the jackpot winnings for investments. [[nid:688514]]
