The Malaysian government is progressing plans to support military modernisation through the counter-trade of palm oil, according to Defence Minister Mohamad Sabu.
In comments to the Reuters news agency on 26 August Sabu said Malaysia has started talks with six countries about deals to swap the commodity in return for military equipment. He said these countries comprised China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, and Turkey.
“If they are prepared to accept a palm barter trade, we are very willing to go in that direction,” Sabu said, according to the report. “We have a lot of palm oil.”
Palm oil is one of Malaysia’s most important commodities, contributing nearly 5% to the country’s GDP with exports in 2018 reportedly worth MYR62.7 billion (USD15 billion).

It takes courage to stand infront of volley of bullets, but It takes even *more courage to send your son to do the act.*
It takes courage to assault through a minefield, but It takes even *more courage to see your brother off to such a field*.
It also takes courage to stand firm in your trenches, but it takes *nerves of steel for a wife to sit back at home and wait to see whether her husband comes back on his feet or wrapped in Pakistani flag.*
It takes courage to charge on to the enemy without thinking of your life, but it takes *ultimate guts to be a son of such a father.*
It is difficult for a father to be in the line of duty while *his daughter gets married back home,* but It is a *real test for the daughter to leave her home without having her father to see her off.*
*SALUTE to the FAMILIES of the defenders of PAKISTAN !!*
SALUTE to the DEFFENDERS of PAKISTAN, GHAZIS AND SHAHEEDS,!
*PAKISTAN DEFENCE AND MARTYRS DAY !!!*

I was wondering on procurement plans of PA.
While PAF and PN is fast moving ahead with large to medium sized procurement programs in various sub fields, PA seems to be at a stand still:
Al-Khalid II....Status Unknown
New Infantry Weapon.....Status unknown
Attack Helo......Status uncertain
Procurement of an MBT other than AL Khalid.....Status unknown
IFV.....No news on where the PA doctrine is on this
Or I am ill informed???

I have often wondered the same. The conclusion I have reached is that maybe, just maybe high command have realised that air power and naval power is where the future of warfare lies and it is where we lack and it is also where technology matters the most, whereas in ground war you have many solutions.
And it might also be that India too has been focusing more on naval and air power compared to their ground forces and high command may feel that technology gap army to army is not that significant, and given enemy designs, it is air force and navy that need more investment. It's a matter of priorities.
But this is only my own analysis & thinking.
