Malaysia threatens ‘pushback’ against China

Posted to Update.Ph (Mar 15): Malaysia threatens ‘pushback’ against China  

Malaysia is threatening a ‘pushback’ against China if proven that a military build up in Spratly Islands in West Philippine Sea is true.

“If the reports we’ve received from various sources regarding the buildup and placement of military assets in the Spratlys are true – this forces us in a pushback against China,” Malaysian Defence Minister Dato’ Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein said Monday, March 14 as reported by Reuters.

The report added that the Malaysian official will meet next week with his Australian counterpart to discuss China’s activities in West Philippine Sea. He will also hold talks with his counterparts from Vietnam and Philippines.

Meanwhile, the Keel Laying Ceremony for the first Laying Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of Royal Malaysian Navy was conducted last week, March 8. Six LCS are planned for the Malaysian navy.
