For "Ultra nationalist" of Indonesia Raya ... you can also do this legal action to ICJ if you still did not satisfy on their decision re. Sipadan and Ligitan . As I said before ... This is a "civilized" way to solve the problem ... .

Malaysia files application for revision of ICJ's Pulau Batu Puteh decision
PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia has filed an application for revision of the International Court of Justice (ICJ)'s judgment over Pulau Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca), Middle Rocks and South Ledge.
Attorney-General Tan Sri Mohamed Apandi Ali (pic) said in a statement the application was filed on Thursday.
"The application, which was filed at the International Court of Justice, The Hague, was made by Malaysia upon the discovery of some fact of such a nature as to be a decisive factor, which fact was, when the judgment was given, unknown to the court and also to Malaysia as the party claiming revision.
He said Malaysia's application for a revision of the judgment was a continuation of the process embarked on May 9, 2003 by both Malaysia and Singapore, when both nations agreed to submit the dispute pertaining to sovereignty over Pulau Batu Puteh (Pedra Branca), Middle Rocks and South Ledge to the ICJ (the "Special Agreement").
On May 23, 2008, the ICJ ruled that Singapore had sovereignty over Pulau Batu Puteh while Malaysia owned Middle Rocks, and South Ledge belonged to the state in whose territorial waters it is located.
Pulau Batu Puteh is located 7.7 nautical miles off the coast of Johor's Tanjung Penyusuh. - Bernama

Malaysia declares N. Korean envoy as ‘persona non grata’
by mergawati zulfakar, farik zolkepli, qishin tariq, jo timbuong, neville spykerman, androyce tan
KUALA LUMPUR: North Korean Ambassador Kang Chol, who has accused Malaysia of colluding with foreign powers in the murder of Kim Jong-nam, must leave the country within 48 hours.
Kang Chol, who was summoned to Wisma Putra at 6pm yesterday, failed to turn up.
And in a turn of events, the ministry sent a diplomatic note to the embassy at about 9.30pm to inform the North Korean government that Kang Chol had been declared persona non grata.
Kang Chol has to leave by tomorrow.
In a statement, Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Anifah Aman said the Malaysian Government had demanded a written apology from North Korea for the ambassador’s recent accusations against the country over Jong-nam’s assassination at KLIA2.
That demand, he said, had been made during a meeting between Wisma Putra officials and the North Korean high-level delegation on Tuesday.
“The officials, led by deputy secretary-general for bilateral affairs Raja Nurshirwan Zainal Abidin, met the delegation headed by Kim Song on Tuesday.
“The delegation was informed that should there be no response by 10pm that day, the Malaysian Government would take measures to best protect its interest.

Here you go: A North Korean Embassy official (left) accepting a letter from Muhammad Haidas Muhammad Sharif Song, an assistant secretary of the Malaysian Foreign Ministry’s East Asia Division, at the North Korean Embassy in Bukit Damansara.
“Almost four days have passed.
“No apology has been made and neither has there been any indication that one is forthcoming.
“For this reason, the Ambassador has been declared persona non grata,” said Anifah.
Persona non grata, in Latin, means one who has been declared so by the receiving state and barred from entering or remaining in the country.
It is the most serious form of disapproval that the country can apply to foreign diplomats and is often used to express displeasure at the conduct or policies of the sending state.
In his statement, Anifah also gave details leading to the move.
He said he had instructed his officers to summon Kang Chol, but neither the ambassador nor the embassy’s senior officials came to Wisma Putra.
“For this reason, the ministry – via a diplomatic note sent to the embassy this evening – informed the North Korea government that His Excellency Mr Kang Chol is declared persona non grata by the Malaysian Government.
“He is expected to leave Malaysia within 48 hours from the scheduled time of the meeting, which is 6pm on March 4 (yesterday).”
Malaysia, vowed the minister, would strongly act against any insult made against it or any attempt to tarnish its reputation.
“It should be recalled that the ambassador has alleged that the conduct of the investigation into the death of a North Korean citizen on Feb 13 indicates that the Malaysian Government had something to hide and that it colluded with outside powers to defame his country,” he said.
However, recent events, including the release of North Korean Ri Jong-chol due to the lack of evidence, was proof that the investigation was carried out in an impartial, fair and transparent manner, said Anifah.
This, he added, as “befits a country that practises the rule of law”.
Kang Chol, 64, began his diplomatic career as an assistant officer in the Middle East Department of North Korea’s Foreign Ministry.
His previous postings were in Somalia and Ethiopia and he had also served as the ministry’s director-general of administrative affairs.
Kang Chol, an alumnus of the Pyongyang University of Foreign Language (1972-73) and Somalia National University (1973-76), has two children.

Source: North Korea's global spy network active in Malaysia

KUALA LUMPUR: As Malaysia and North Korea are attempting to solve their diplomatic spat, attention is now focused on the presence of more than 1,000 North Korean citizens in Malaysia.
The assassination of Kim Jong-nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) three weeks ago, has sparked the interest of many over Pyongyang's intelligence operations in Malaysia.
Masquerading behind careers of various fields, a source told Bernama that the presence of the North Koreans in the country was all planned in order to form an organised intelligence network.
He said it is not difficult to understand why many of them work as information technology (IT) specialists and masquerading behind local companies in Cyberjaya – to help them gather information and data.
"These are not ordinary people because they are specially trained before being selected by the regime to work abroad.
"While sponsored by local companies, their presence in Malaysia is not just to work but also (to function) as trained spies," said the source.
These group of people are part of approximately 100,000 North Koreans working overseas worldwide and are valuable "resources" to the regime as they are also sending their hard-earned money to their home country.
In fact, it is said that every member of North Korean families abroad are required to report to their embassies on a monthly basis and will be forced to undergo "debriefing" before they return to their society.
It is also learnt that in addition to the IT field, North Koreans are also active in iron ore mining in Sarawak and as partners to Malaysian businessmen.
"They are trying to export Malaysian products to North Korea and vice versa even though they are aware of the restrictions imposed by the United Nations (UN) on their country," said the source.
The source also said it was now a practice for employers to pay the salaries of the North Koreans directly to their embassy here, while the employees would only receive a living allowance.
"The embassy usually takes the money out of Malaysia in the form of cash because they cannot make online transactions due to UN restrictions on Pyongyang.
"They will carry bags containing money and get cleared by airport security using diplomatic privileges," said the sources.
Questions that arise are why there are so many North Koreans working in the IT sector and how did the republic produce so many of them?
The source said the answers could be found on Hackread, a Milan-based online news portal.
The portal revealed that an IT unit, known as Bureau 121, which was set up by the regime comprised an elite group of well-trained hackers to perform the duties of cyber espionage and cyber crime.
Bernama check found a series of interview between the news portal and Prof Kim Heung Kwang, a North Korean who managed to escape to South Korea in 2004.
In the interview, Heung-Kwang admitted he had taught the Computer Science subject in the republic to the elite group of hackers for 20 years.
The academician also said only those who worked for Bureau 121 were allowed Internet access or to leave the country.
However, the source said active intelligence agents could not escape monitoring by Malaysian authorities.
"All the intelligence services in the region are aware of this and their covert operations are being intensified round-the-clock to monitor the activities by North Korea," the source added. – Bernama

It is interesting that Airbus prefer to invest in Malaysia .. not in Indonesia WHY?
-----
Airbus work value in Malaysia to hit above US$500mil
“Made in Malaysia” parts are used on the entire Airbus civil aircraft product line.
KUALA LUMPUR: The value of Airbus work undertaken in Malaysia is set to increase by 25% to over US$500mil (RM2.36bil) by 2021, from US$400mil (RM1.89bil) now.
The increase would come on the back of higher production rate for aircraft types worked on by suppliers such as Composites Technology Research Malaysia Sdn Bhd, Spirit Aerospace and Celestica.
This also included growth from local joint ventures including that of maintenance, repair and overhaul firm, Sepang Aircraft Engineering Sdn Bhd.
“We are committed to growing our presence in the coming years. (The work value), except for China, is by far the biggest procurement in Asia and it will only grow as our production is growing,” Fabrice Bregier, president of Airbus Commercial Aircraft, told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
“This is a recognition of the high quality of work undertaken by Malaysian companies and workers, the country’s competitive cost base and its expertise in the aerospace engineering sector,” he said.
The majority of the aeronautical supply chain in Malaysia works for Airbus “and we are proud of its growth.”
“Made in Malaysia” parts fly on the entire Airbus civil aircraft product line (the A320 family, A330neo, A350 XWB, and A380), as well as, the A400M military airlifter and the H130 helicopter.

Malaysian women rank 7th most likely to access **** on mobile
PETALING JAYA: Women in Malaysia are the seventh most likely in the world to use a mobile device to access ****, according to a report by pornography site Pornhub.
According to the report, which was released on March 7, 84% of Malaysian women who browse on Pornhub used a mobile device.

t is believed that Pornhub identifies women users based on demographic data from Google Analytics.
"Currently, about 72% of worldwide traffic to Pornhub comes from smartphones and tablets. But mobile use is actually much higher with women than men.
"As of February 2017, nearly 80% of female traffic comes from mobile, compared to about 69% for men," read the report.
Of the female traffic, 71% came from smartphones, 8% from tablets and 21% from desktop computers.

Outdated air force leaves Malaysia vulnerable, says retired brig-gen

Mohd Arshad Raji comments on a report of how budget cuts have affected the RMAF.
PETALING JAYA: A retired brigadier-general has launched a tirade against the government in the wake of a report that budget cuts are preventing the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) from getting new fighter jets, helicopters and maritime patrol craft.
Speaking to FMT, Mohd Arshad Raji said the government’s inability to maintain the integrity of the armed forces gave a clear sign that the nation was “in trouble”.
“In modern warfare, the air force plays a vital role,” he said. “When air superiority is lost, the land battle becomes worthless.
“The Malaysian Armed Forces’ preoccupation in times of peace is to train for war. War tactics and techniques are highly dynamic. Any new innovation or invention in the weapons system demands new operational tactics and techniques.”
He said upgrades and the acquisition of new assets were essential to keeping the RMAF abreast with the region’s other air forces.
A nation with obsolete and outdated air force assets would be exposed to aerial threats from potential enemies, he added.
DefenseNews reported yesterday that major procurement programmes for the Malaysian Armed Forces had mostly been put on hold. It said this meant that “badly needed” fighters, trainers, helicopters and maritime patrol aircraft would unlikely be acquired by the RMAF in the short to medium term.
With more kidnappings taking place off Sabah and Sarawak, the RMAF recently moved a squadron of BAE Hawk 108/208 light attack aircraft to East Malaysia.
Concerns have been expressed that the thinning of resources comes amid threats arising from lawlessness in the southern Philippines and China’s aggressive stance on issues over disputed islands in the South China Sea.
The government allocated RM15.1 billion to the Defence Ministry under Budget 2017. Of this, RM1.8 billion is for asset maintenance. DefenseNews noted that the 2017 allocation represented a 13% drop from 2016’s budget.
