KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — China’s latest intrusion into Malaysian airspace should have been met with the strongest diplomatic response, said a security veteran’s group that criticised the federal government for its delayed response yesterday.
Commenting on the reported intrusion of 16 People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) into the Malaysian Maritime Zone (MMZ), Patriot said this was only the latest in a long line of China’s intentional violation of Malaysia’s sovereign territory.
Patriot said the federal government appeared not to view the incident with the appropriate gravity as an official response was only issued after the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) publicised the intrusion on its own.
“Otherwise, a senior minister of the National Security Council or the foreign minister should have already issued a statement within hours of the incident to register our strongest protest.
“Along with the strong statement of protest, a marching order for China’s Ambassador should have been issued,” Patriot said in a statement.
Aside from the clear military threat, Patriot also noted that the 16 Chinese air force planes had flown between 23,000 and 27,000 feet, typically the altitude used for civil and commercial flights.

kt note: Wasn't aware that civil and commercial flights cruise from East to West Malaysia (& vice versa) at 23,000 to 27,000 feet. Thought a B737 cruises best at 30,000 to 35,000 ft. Well, what the eff do I know! wakakaka
kt note 2: USAF planes especially its long range transport and B-52 bombers frequently transit Malaysian airspace unannounced between the Far East, Guam, Philippines to the West (because that's the modus operandi laced heavily with an arrogant couldn't-be-bothered with the natives attitude). Wanna expel the US Ambassador too? wakakaka
The group representing retired security personnel said this could have endangered any civilian aircraft in the vicinity, particularly those flying between KLIA and Kota Kinabalu as these would have intersected the flight path used.
“China has disregarded our nation’s sovereignty. It has intruded our airspace. Issuing the strongest protest and demanding an official apology is in order. Nothing less,” Patriot said.
The group said it should not matter that the country depended on China for some Covid-19 vaccines or that the East Asian nation was one of Malaysia’s largest trading partners, as the intrusion was both a violation of Malaysia’s sovereignty and national pride.
Yesterday, RMAF chief Gen Tan Sri Ackbal Abdul Samad confirmed that 16 PLAAF aircraft had flown close to the national airspace over the MMZ on May 31.
The air force marshal said the RMAF Air Defence Radar from the Air Defence Centre in Sarawak was able to detect the flight.
The RMAF had scrambled its own jets to intercept the aircraft, which were visually identified as PLAAF military transporters.
Foreign Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said last night that Malaysian would issue a diplomatic note to China regarding the intrusion.

Since it's a disputed area, can China respond strongly to blatant malaysia intrusion & expel the country’s ambassador?
ReplyDeletewe shd shoot down both usa intruder n ccp invader, no two way about this.
ReplyDeleteUsing yr katak-ised spits!
DeleteWow!!
no kidding, many chinese msian was honoured for killing uncounted number of communist, n our muslim bro is expert of making explosive that bomb whiteman into pieces.
DeleteIn the same manner that there were many Formosa nippon-ised soldiers acting more Japanese than the japanese army in terrorizing the colonies in SEAsia during the Nippon regime.
DeleteU trained to do likewise, 犬养 mfer?
i don kill communist, my many family members used to be communist, some killed by kt uncle type chinese, some incarcerated for more than 15 years, some confined at small town and instructed to report to police station everyday, some forced to return to china mainland.
Deletei, similar to twnese, was taught to defend against invader. u otoh work along with invader, like those taiwan fake nihonjin.
Wakakakakaka…
DeleteGo ask yr communist relatives why r they still supporting communism with Chinese characteristics after all these yrs.
"was taught to defend against invader"
That's what those relatives of yrs been kept deep in their heart!
Wow!!!
Yet u have conveniently forgetting about that teaching which yr relatives had sacrificed to uphold! U fight for no one but yr own syiok-sendiri & hippo-ised 'freedom' of farts.
Hence yr loud & clear declaration of been a nonchinese of f*cked origin.
U r different. U don't recognised the root yr other siblings cherished. U propagate katak-ised Formosa demoNcracy based on Yankee model (yes, there r many types of f*cked demoNcracies).
Just liken to those take Formosa nihonjin now currently holding fort in that island!
Anymore u want to declare - fake/f*cked/deranged 犬养mfer?
Monsterball note to Ktemoc
ReplyDeleteMonster Note 1 ) Depending on air traffic control situation, weather, passing traffic - the South China Sea is used by many commercial flights that are just passing through - aircraft DO get routed to flight levels 230 to 270
Monster Note 2) On normal White flights, USAF aircraft do file their flight plans with Civil Air Traffic Control in areas wherebl they pass.
That is standard safety practice.
Of course, for Wartime operations or Black Ops, that doesn't apply .
They don't log flights over South China Sea with China, of course, because they don't recognise China sovereignty over those waters.
Nobody does, EXCEPT CCP and their lapdogs.
stop bullshitting - no one logs flights over South China Sea with China. There are ICAO approved Flight Information Regions that a flight files its flight plan with. The USAF has frequently transit Malaysia and many other 3rd World nations ignoring ICAO approved flight centres.
DeleteThe Yankee USAF aircraft plane used to squawk ambiguous icao discrete transponder code to hide their identity.
DeleteSo what kind of Civil Air Traffic Control filing r u farting about?
Ooop… they r operating in the black. So no need!
Then…
Wakakakakaka…
Inconsequential fart of syiok-sendiri!
Freedom of Overflight is OK but Freedom of Navigation is not? What kind of Circular Bullylogik is this?
ReplyDeleteAnyone Care To Explain....?

Just concentrate on the intelligence of the report writer!
DeleteThat's the start of the explanation u seek.
