Woow ...the Indonesia Embassy still do nothing to their people in Malaysia ..

Foreigners (mostly Indonesians) Owe RM50.5mil
Saturday, 15 April 2017

http://www.thestar.com.my/news/nati...ke-up-nearly-20-of-outstanding-medical-bills/

PETALING JAYA: Foreigners from 38 countries owe Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL) RM7.87mil in unpaid medical bills from 2012.

Last year alone, the largest public hospital in the country recorded RM3mil in unpaid bills by foreigners.

This figure was part of RM50.5mil in unpaid medical bills at all government hospitals last year, HKL said.

According to the Health Ministry, the amount owed by foreign patients represented almost one-fifth of the total bills incurred by them at public hospitals.

HKL revealed that the top five foreign nationals who had consistently defaulted in settling their medical bills with the hospital from 2012 to 2016 were from Indonesia, followed by Myanmar, Bangladesh, India and Nepal (see graphic).

Some of the foreign patients also included those from First World countries such as Germany, Finland, Singapore, Sweden, Japan and the United States, although the figures were negligible.

“We try our best to collect and we also send a letter to the respective embassies to get the debts settled.

“But only 5% to 10% of the unpaid medical bills are collected,” HKL said in reply to questions from The Star.

Among the reasons for non-payment were that the patient did not have any next of kin, was not working, was self-employed or did not have an employer, it cited.

Other reasons were that the patient was homeless as a result of mental illness, lack of cooperation from the embassies, the patient had run away from the hospital, the patient’s illness was not covered by insurance and the employers had abdicated responsibility.

“If they are long-staying patients and have to go for surgery, dialysis or an implant fix or be treated for tuberculosis, the bill will spike,” HKL said.

Meanwhile, the ministry revealed that the RM50.5mil in unpaid bills last year had prompted the authorities to demand that foreigners pay a much higher deposit when seeking treatment at government hospitals.

Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Dr Chen Chaw Min said 1.36 million foreign patients visited government hospitals last year with a total treatment cost of RM269.89mil, and 23,595 of them could not pay off RM50.5mil.

“Most foreigners fail to pay because they do not have enough funds, while some simply refuse to pay.

“They mostly comprise undocumented workers who do not have medical insurance, which is compulsory for all legal foreign workers,” he said.

All registered foreign workers in Malaysia are enrolled in the Foreign Workers Insurance Scheme (Spikpa).

The premium for Spikpa is RM120 per person per year and they are covered for up to RM20,000.

Refugees registered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are encouraged to get the Refugee Medical Insurance (Remedi).

With a premium of RM165 (individual) or RM207 (family) a year, the policyholders are entitled to coverage of up to RM10,000.

Asked which nationalities tended to be in debt and could not pay, Dr Chen said the ministry did not keep information on foreign patients based on nationality.

“There are instances where hospitals contact the embassies on uncollected medical bills by their nationalities, and the embassies do assist in contacting the patients and their families to pay up.

“However, this is on a case-by-case basis if the patients are contactable,” he said.

On whether the ministry managed to recoup the debts incurred and at what percentage, Dr Chen said the ministry would try its best to take the necessary action as stated in its Guidelines to Reduce Arrears of Foreign Patients, for instance getting patients to pay deposits during registration.

Last Saturday, The Star reported that foreign residents now have to fork out 130% to 230% more in deposits for wards and surgery in a move to reduce medical subsidy for non-citizens.

Dr Chen said the ministry strived to provide the best health services to the public, regardless of nationality and on a sustainable basis.

“The ministry is concerned about the outstanding bills as these will affect the delivery of health services.

“Therefore, the need to raise the deposit rate for foreigners is in tandem with the increase in charges in 2016,” he said.

Pak Navy and RMN Forged Closer Ties and Cooperation
Posted on April 14, 2017 by hafizuddinsulaiman

Blogger’s Note: All photos credited to @lekir26 and @kdselangor twitter accounts

The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) and its Pakistani counterpart have jointly conducted Exercise MALPAK (Malaysia Pakistan) from March 22 until March 29 while the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition was held throughout the same period. Two RMN warships, the KD Lekir, a Kasturi class corvette and KD Selangor, a Kedah class NGPV were involved in the exercise.

Pakistani Navy sent PNS Saif, a Zulfiqar class frigate and PNS Nasr, a replenishment ship to participate in the inaugural exercise. The Saif’s Harbin Z-9 Haitun naval helicopter made cross deck flights on-board the Selangor during the exercise. Pakistani sailors from PNS Nasr also conducted Visit, Board, Search, Seizure (VBSS) training on the Lekir.






Navy-to-Navy relationship between Malaysia and Pakistan is very strong through various port calls made by Pakistan to various RMN naval base, high level visit to Malaysia by the Pakistani Navy top command as well as other cooperations with regard to regional maritime safety and security.

The RMN has been a regular participant of Exercise Aman, a multinational naval exercise organised by Pakistan. On May 26, 2015, both navies have conducted the first Navy-to-Navy Talks at Kuala Lumpur where discussions were made on exchange of air crews, bilateral exercise, intelligence and exchange of instructors at ratings and officers level. (here)

The Pakistani Navy used to operate early models of Westland Lynx but the helicopters have long being put out of service and stored while being replaced by the Z-9 Haituns.

This has been translated during a high level visit by Admiral Muhammad Zakaullah on January 2016 where a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between the two Navy Chief of Staffs for cooperation on military exercise, courses as well as dialogue especially over the threats of terrorism. (here)

Both Navies are significant users of French and Chinese made defence equipment with Pakistan being a front user of various Chinese made naval products including the Z-9 helicopter, the Zulfiqar class frigate as well as the replenishment ship that took part in Exercise MALPAK.

Pakistan is also an operator of the Agosta 90 submarines acquired from France.

What is the best strategy for Singapore to conquer Malaysia?


David Ng, Infantry section commander, 1 SIR. Anti-Tank section, Company Marksman section

“The military doctrine of Singapore (SG) is based somewhat on Israel’s. Because SG can’t afford an invasion on its home soil… it would have to expand out to create a buffer…If creating a buffer is not feasible, then a swift pre-emptive strike with the Air Force together with the elite Commando and Guards units will be needed to neutralise the threat.”

The short answer is: attack first. Singapore is too small to defend. the a breakthrough in say, woodlands, and the enemy could be in the CBD in an hour.
The longer answer would be not to do something so foolish.

Singapore has the military capability to take mainland malaysia ( sabah and sarawak would be a different story) , but it does not have the capacity to HOLD it.
No disrespect to the malaysian soldiers, who are undoubtedly fine and hard fightrers, and more so than singaporean soldiers, but the RMAF do not have the necessary logistical support base or transport experience needed for mordern mechanised warfare.

With the strongest air force in the region, as well as significant armor and mechanized assets, Any well planed Singapore attack into malaysia is going to be difficult to stop. RSAF will bomb RMAF Butterworth, Kuantan, Kedak, and Labuan to establish immediate air superiority. Helicopters will support an armored push up the North south highway to KL. with no major obstacles between Johor and KL the SAF could be attacking KL in 2 days, maybe less. A blocking force holds the flank and prevents any flank attacks while another force makes its way yo the west coast and makes a parallel push. SAF assets will concentrate on taking the major logistical and transport centers- i.e. large towns and cities and bypass the rest. this will force the agricultural sector in malaysia to cooperate with them.

As the SAF advances north however, it's advance is going to slow. Terrain becomes much denser and SAF supply lines will be much longer, plus there will be natural obstacles like the many rivers criss crossing central malaysia. I suspect in such a case Penang would become the new capital and Malaysia will contintue the fight from there. I am quite confident, however in such a case Malaysia would still lose... BUT:

Malaysia is an ideal country for a guerilla war. large agricultural landbase, Dense forest, central mountainous region. large indigenious population who don't like the invader ( in fact, invading malaysia would unite the malaysians against the Singaporeans) . Meanwhile, you have a sympathetic Sabah and Sarawak to your rear. not to menton you've pretty much lost all international credibility. Singapore's army is NOT prepared in the leastfor a guerilla war. Nor does it have an army big enough to police everything.A guerilla war would see Singapore's economic lifeblood: investments and maritime trade activity, leave the region. Remember the malayan emergency? Meanwhile you've mobillised the army which means a large part of Singapore's workfoce is not working. So Singapore would lose.

so, the long and short is: Singapore would not want to invade malaysia.
----
Renatus Peregrinus, royalist (Daulat Tuanku) and disillusioned social democrat

For Singapore to conquer Malaysia, Malaysia must first fall to pieces or have its military resources sapped by political stresses.

The following are all possible situations that Singapore can choose to exploit:

- Insurrection in Sabah or Sarawak results in secession, resulting in Malaysia sending troops on police action duty.
- A widespread insurgency by Islamic radicals dissatisfied with the government results in full scale guerilla warfare in the jungles of Malaya and terrorist activity in Kuala Lumpur
- Johor or Penang secede from Malaysia, resulting in the need for police action.
-Drones and robot armies are used to offset Singapore's lower manpower
- unequivocal sanction by China and the West to boost the legitimacy of Singaporean territorial gains

Singapore's big problem is that it can't, as Kris Lim says, have more babies. Land in Singapore is very limited, and Singapore overall is still dependent on fresh water from Johor and food imports. Assuming that NONE of the above issues apply, a war with Malaysia will not be in Singapore's favour as it would disrupt food supplies. The most Singapore can hope for would be to capture Johor, but nothing more than that, unless it somehow can create a massive Terminator or droid-like army to do the policing work required to consolidate territory and establish supply lines to push the front further north. The Malaysian army is more likely to retreat, leaving guerilla combat specialists (like the Royal Commandos) in rural and unpopulated areas in Johor to fight rearguard actions to disrupt Singapore's supply lines, whilst gathering land forces further north for a strike in Singapore. If Malaysia has high-quality and dedicated anti-air, Singapore is in for the deep end - as a Malaysian general I would lure the Singaporean air force to attack "targets of opportunity" which are in fact well-disguised AA and maybe try to interdict Singapore's communications with hacking.

In contrast, the only POSSIBLE way Singapore can really "conquer" Malaysia is either by taking advantage of a civil war (not really possible because Putrajaya still controls the army, and even if possible Singapore can only really hope to "restore order", not annex) or better still, by bombarding Putrajaya with tonnes and tonnes of cash to lobby the Malaysian government or to overthrow it. Singapore at present sees no need to conquer Malaysia because the current administration feels that it can do business with the UMNO-led regime.

Singapore need to align with China first instead of going against China.
Second,Singapore should attack Malaysia with China military in the region as defense measure against Malaysia.
Third, Singapore cannot occupy or control Malaysia even if they win, but China can.

De Facto .. China already occupied and/or controlled Malaysia , especially our economy .. but, legally Malaysia is still ruled by Malay through UMNO and its Barisan Nasional coalition

Penang is a the best example of "Neo Singapore" in our land .. all controlled by Chinese ..

No. Military is primarily Malaysian. Very few Chinese in Malaysia politics. The few who are cannot be trusted because they are traitors. If you're Malaysian then you know what I'm talking about.

 

[Azurekast]

Very few Chinese in Malaysia politics. The few who are cannot be trusted because they are traitors. If you're Malaysian then you know what I'm talking about.

I don't really know what you're talking about. If you mean DAP, then its probably because of the rumors they have ties to Singapore's political party.

While I myself don't really agree with opening so much of Malaysia to foreign investments (either it be China, the West, or any other countries), I can't deny it has some advantages.

While giving China the opportunity to invest, Malaysia is also protecting itself by presenting itself as a better financial partner, than a financial rival like Singapore.

Singapore is tied to the influence of US, as such opening itself to China can be tricky. Not that Singapore needs to, because their position is pretty secure.

Two foreign ships escape from MMEA custody, detained in Indonesia
By Bernama - April 26, 2017 @ 2:27pm
JAKARTA: Two foreign tankers, which had escaped the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) detention two days ago, were held in Indonesian waters by its National Army Navy (TNI AL) yesterday.

Online media quoted Indonesian Navy Western Region Fleet Commander rear admiral Aan Kurnia as saying that they had detained two ships sought by the Malaysian authorities in the waters of Tanjung Uma, Batam, Riau Islands in Sumatra.

Both ships with all the crew reportedly escaped from detention two days ago after the MMEA nabbed them south of Tanjung Penyusop, Teluk Rumania, Kota Tinggi in Johor for entering the Malaysian waters without permission.

Aan Kurnia said the ships; known as MT Brama Ocean and MT Orca, displaying the Malabo flag (the capital of Equatorial Guinea, Central Africa) and the Fijian flag respectively on their ships, were detained in a special operation after receiving the MMEA alert.

"We received a report from MMEA on the possibility of the ships entering Indonesian waters and our TNI AL special force acted fast in carrying out patrols in several areas and found two ships in suspicious circumstances before detaining the vessels and six crew," he said.

Initial investigations showed that the vessels fitted the description of the ships that had escaped from MMEA and that they had tried to evade the authorities by changing the colour of the ships, he said.

Aan Kurnia said the two ships with six crew members were being held at the jetty in Yos Sudarso, Main Naval Base IV in Tanjung Pinang for further investigations.

He said the crew would be prosecuted for entering Indonesian waters without valid documents.

Five days ago, MMEA detained two foreign ships in the south of Tanjung Penyusop, for anchoring without permission and on further examination found the tankers also had no insurance. However, the ships managed to escape after being held for three days. - BERNAMA

KOARMABAR TANGKAP MT. BRAHMA OCEAN DAN MT. ORCA BURONAN MALAYSIA

Komando Armada RI Kawasan Barat (Koarmabar) melalui tim Western Fleet Quick Response (WFQR-4) Lantamal IV Tanjungpinang berhasil menangkap dan mengamankan MT. Brama Ocean Berbendera Malabo 314 GT dan MT. Orca Berbendera Fiji 127 GT yang merupakan buronan Agency Penguatan Maritim Malaysia (APMM), di perairan Tanjung Uma, Batam, Kepulauan Riau (Kepri), Minggu (23/4).

Kronologis berawal APMM Malaysia mengirimkan berita kepada Komandan Lantamal IV Tanjungpinang Kolonel Laut (P) Ribut Eko Suyatno, S.E., M.M., bahwa kapal tangkapan APMM Malaysia MT. Brama Ocean dan MT. Orca telah hilang/dilarikan, kemudian Danlantamal IV memerintahkan Asintel Danlantamal IV untuk melaksankan pengumpulan data terhadap adanya kemungkinan MT. Brama Ocean dan MT. Orca berlayar masuk menuju perairan Batam, Bintan dan Tanjung Balaikarimun, serta memerintahkan Asops Danlantamal IV untuk menyiapkan unsur patroli dan membuat sektor penyekatan oleh unsur–unsur patroli diwilayah perairan Batam, Bintan dan Tanjung Balaikarimun.

Asops (Asisten Operasi) Kolonel Laut (P) May Franky Sihombing dan Asintel (Asisten Intelijen) Kolonel Laut (E) Iwan S. bergerak cepat mengumpulkan staf untuk selanjutnya dilaksanakan briefing kepada Perwira Staf Operasi dan intel serta tim penindak WFQR-4 Unit 1 Jatanrasla untuk membuat perencanaan Operasi dan intelijen dalam pencarian terhadap MT. Brama Ocean dan MT. Orca di perairan Batam, Bintan dan Tanjung Balaikarimun.

Selanjutnya unsur – unsur patroli yang terdiri dari KAL Anakonda, KAL Mapor, Sea Rider dan 3 unsur Patkamla Satkamla Lantamal IV, setelah mendapatkan perintah penyekatan sesuai sektor penyekatan yang telah ditentukan langsung melaksankan aksi penyekatan diwilayah perairan Selat Riau, Utara Batam dan Selat Durian yang diperkirakan kedua kapal akan melewati daerah tersebut.

Tidak mau kehilangan buruannya seluruh unsur patroli dan jaringan intelijen yang tergelar di laut melaksanakan tugas di sektor masing-masing untuk melakukan perburuan sang target operasi dan akhirnya Tim WFQR-4 berhasil menemukan titik terang keberadaan MT. Brama Ocean dan MT. Orca. Kemudian Tim WFQR-4/Unit 1 Jatanrasla bergerak cepat dengan menggunakan Sea Rider yang dipimpin langsung Asintel Danlantamal IV turun langsung dan onboard melaksanakan penyesiran di sekitar Tanjung Uma Batam.

Dari kejauhan Sea Rider Unit 1 Jatanrasla melihat siluet kapal mini tanker mencurigakan berada di perairan Tanjung Uma Batam, selanjutnya Sea Rider Unit 1 Jatanrasla melaksanakan pendekatan menuju kapal mini tanker tersebut untuk melaksankan pemeriksaan. Berbekal data-data kapal yang dikirimkan APMM Malaysia mempunyai kesesuaian dan kecocokan.

Dari ciri-ciri kapal tanker tersebut mirip dengan informasi yang diperoleh dari APMM Malaysia namun beberapa bagian telah dicat untuk menghilangkan identitas kapal dan akhirnya dilaksanakan pemeriksaan kapal MT. Orca, saat dilaksanakan pemeriksaan posisi kapal sedang lego jangkar di perairan Tanjung Uma Batam dan diatas kapal terdapat 1 orang yang berinisial “M” , tim berhasil mengorek keterangan yang bersangkutan bahwa seluruh ABK berjumlah 6 orang namun yang 5 orang sedang turun ke darat. Yang bersangkutan mengakui sudah 1 bulan berada di MT. Orca pada saat masih berada diperairan Malaysia.

Pada saat dilaksanakan pemeriksaan ternyata MT. Brama Ocean, sedang sandar pada MT. Orca yang sedang lego jangkar, diatas kapal terdapat 4 orang yang terdiri dari 1 orang Nahkoda dan 3 orang lainya adalah ABK dengan keterangan yang berinisial A jabatan Nahkoda MT. Brama Ocean, Jabatan Second Enginner yang berinisial “S”, Chief Officer MT. Brama Ocean sedangkan dari hasil interogasi sementara terhadap 5 ABK MT. Orca.

Pengakuan kelima kelima orang tersebut merupakan nahkoda dan ABK kapal lama yg mengetahui permasalahan di kapal tersebut, terkait penahanan kapal oleh APMM Malaysia lalu melarikan diri dengan menggunakan kedua kapal tersebut atas perintah “A” umur 30 th merupakan WNI suku Jawa.

Modus membawa kedua kapal yaitu MT. Orca dan MT. Brama Ocean tiba di perairan Tanjung Uma Batam pada hari Sabtu 22 April 07.00 WIB dengan cara MT. Orca menggandeng MT. Brama Ocean dari perairan Malaysia menuju perairan Tanjung Uma Batam.

Hasil pengecekan fisik MT. Orca dan MT. Brama Ocean untuk nama kapal pada lambung kanan dan kiri haluan kapal telah dihilangkan dengan cara di cat warna hitam dan kelima orang yang masih diatas kapal menyaksikan pengecetan tersebut setibanya di perairan Tanjung Uma Batam.

Hingga saat ini kedua kapal MT. Orca dan MT. Brama Ocean telah diamankan di Dermaga Yos Sudarso Mako Lantamal IV Tanjungpinang guna proses lebih lanjut.

Key Points

• The Malaysian Coast Guard has conducted test firings of a 30 mm Turkish-made naval gun system from a newly inducted platform
• Tests brings the first-of-class New Generation Patrol Craft closer towards full operational capability with the service

The Malaysian Coast Guard has conducted the first test firings of a newly installed SMASH 30 mm remote controlled stabilised naval gun system from its first-of-class New Generation Patrol Craft (NGPC), KM Bagan Datuk (4541).

The tests, which were conducted about 15 n miles west of Pulau Mentagor, off the coast of Perak, were conducted to validate the weapon's successful integration with systems on board the vessel.

These involved a single seaborne target that was set adrift from and subsequently fired upon by Bagan Datuk in single and burst modes of three rounds each. Present during the tests were engineers from Turkish defence company Aselsan, which is supplying the naval gun system to the coastguard. According to specifications provided by the company, the SMASH system is fitted with a 30 mm Mk 44 Bushmaster-II cannon that fires 200 rds/min.

Bagan Datuk is the first of six 44 m coastal patrol vessels ordered from Malaysian shipbuilder Destini Shipbuilding & Engineering under a MYR380 million (USD87 million) signed in 2015. The platform is derived from a design by Germany-based Fassmer Shipbuilding Company and will be the first vessels operated by the Malaysian Coast Guard to feature an organic unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capability.

The 297-tonne platform features an overall length of 44.25 m, an overall beam of 7.7 m, and a design draught of 1.95 m. The vessel is powered by two 1,920 kW MTU engines, and has a top speed of 24 kt, and a standard range of 2,000 n miles at 12 kt.

Each NGPC can deploy the Thales Fulmar unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) from a catapult-based launcher situated just behind the position of its primary weapon.

Indonesia, Malaysia conduct joint patrol in Malacca Strait

KRI Sembilang-850 [poskota]


Tanjungpinang, Riau Islands (ANTARA News) - Indonesian and Malaysian military personnel are conducting joint patrol and excise code named Patkor Optima-26A/17 in the Malacca Strait.

Commander of the Tanjungpinang Naval Base Colonel Ribut Eko Suyatno, representing the commander of the western Indonesian marine security, opened the event in Batam, Riau Islands province, on Tuesday.

He said that Lieutenant Colonel Totok Irianto enjoyed the trust as the commander of Patkor Optima-26A/17 task force. Irianto will command Indonesian warships KRI Sembilang-850 and KRI Sigurot-864, Maritime Security Board (Bakamla) ship, police ship, Marine and Coast Guard Unit (KPLP) ship, customs and excise ship, and the Fisheries and Maritime Affairs Ministrys ship.

Meanwhile, Malaysia has deployed MV Marlin, MV Danga, MV Satria, PA-51-PDRM, and PA-52-PDRM, among others.

The Indonesian side in the joint patrol and exercise comprise personnel of the Indonesian Navy, the Indonesian Police, the Customs and Excise Office, the Maritime Security Board (Bakamla), and the Marine and Coast Guard Unit (KPLP).

"Marine security is not merely related to sovereignty and law but it also entails understanding that sea must be safe for users and must be free from threat and disturbance to any activity," he remarked.

He added that the sea must be free from the threat of violence such as piracy, sabotage, and terrorism.

Above all, the sea must be free from navigational threat, which may put shipping safety on the line, and must be free from the threat of pollution and marine ecosystem destruction, he stated. (*)
