Malaysian Armed Forces has sufficient assets to monitor Beting Patinggi Ali, says minister

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 25 — The Ministry of Defence has stressed that the Malaysian Armed Forces has sufficient assets to monitor the disputed area around Beting Patinggi Ali in Sarawak waters said its Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.Mohamad said it was important for the country to place its military assets in the area which has overlapping claims to prevent other countries from claiming its ownership.

He said this when commenting on a news portal report that the RMN patrol ship KD Kelantan had been deployed to Beting Patinggi Ali waters to monitor the presence of China’s Coast Guard vessels there. Mohamad said Malaysia does not consider the presence of Chinese coast guard vessels in the area as an encroachment as it is an overlapping area.

Meanwhile, he said Mindef had presented its wish list ahead of the re-tabling of Budget 2023 on Feb 24 by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who is also Finance Minister. “We have made the request based on priority including additional funds for asset procurement and the ministry’s operational expenditure,” he said. — Bernama
