Based on contract in 1972, missing jet engines value is only RM303,570, not RM100m

RM303,570, that is the actual value of the 2 missing F5E fighter jet engines which were reportedly missing and not RM100million, causing a nationwide call for action to be taken against those responsible. That is what Datuk Seri dr Ahmad Zahidi Hamidi, the Defence Minister said. The recent 2 missing fighter jet engines owned by the RMAF (Royal Malaysian Air Force) were said to be worth RM100million causing a major outcry among all quarters both Ahmad Zahid though has come out to clarify that this amount is based on the 1972 purchase contract which included the engines’ afterburner.

He said “An aircraft with two such engines at that time would be valued at between RM3.895mil and RM28.047mil. I would like to stress that the contract to purchase (the F5E engines) was made in 1972. At that time, the price of the engine, including the afterburner, was US$121,428 each and based on the dollar-ringgit exchange rate at that time, the price was RM303,570,” He added that “The ministry took a long time to clarify the price of the engine as the ministry needed to carry out internal investigations and time was needed to obtain all the related documents. There should not be any prejudice over the court process on the issue, saying it was wrong to assume that only “small fries” were prosecuted in the case.”

What kind of mentality does this Minister of Defence have? The rakyat is not so concerned with the actual value of the engines! They may cost RM1 for all we care, but the fact is this belongs to the RAKYAT OF MALAYSIA! And just how can a single sergeant dismantle such a huge engine from an aircraft, smuggle it out of the air base, and transport it to a foreign country without ANYONE NOTICING?

Based on contract in 1972 OR Year 1950 ---- Is Not Important!!!!
Missing jet engines From MALAYSIA ( RMAF ) ----Is Ridiculous, Impossible!!!!
Value is RM 303,570, OR $ 0.10 Cents Is Not the QUESTIONS!!!
How can this Happen in Malaysia
And is there any other things Happened Rakyat dont know???

Who is actual behind THIS???

This should involve custom dept. high rank military, ministers...Right????


If the 2 offices could get the 2 engine without anyone else involved, how are they able to remove and carry the 2 jets engine out of the country. Due to the sheer size and weight of the jet engine, they are unable to do that unless they have "Supermans ability".


It is really ridiculous to tell the media and public with 2 big difference in the engine price. At first, who assume the value of 2 engines to worth about 100 million? Now, after found out the actual price of each engine only Rm300k.............from here, we can see the defense department got problem to find out the actual cost for the jet engine; it is kind of slow to take about 2 to 3 weeks times to get the actual price. In addition, even though the cost of the engine is just about 300k, losing fighter jets' engines and spare parts still a big shame for the defense department and Malaysia.
