It takes a lot of time,...The Lahad Datu incursion:<br /><br />It takes a lot of time, one year maybe, and planning, to get 200 people to cross the ocean to occupy foreign territory with a view to stake a claim of the state where that territory is located. These 200 people must be either very stupid or very brave, if it’s the latter, perhaps all of them have supernatural powers or made to think that they do in spite of knowing that they will face an army which is more than 10 times bigger and much more powerful than them or even larger.<br /> <br />Did they know that they were on a suicide mission - were all of them brainwashed?<br /><br />They were just like the Japanese kamikaze fighter pilots who were fighting against the Allied Forces turning their aircraft into missiles and crashing into the Allied Forces naval boats and die when their aircraft perished.<br /><br />The logistics include food, clothes, living quarters, medicine, weapons, ammunition, transportation, etc.<br /><br />Who financed them?<br /><br />Did the militants receive help from within?<br /><br />The incursion at Lahad Datu by members of the Royal Army of the Sultanate of Sulu is a wake-up call for all especially the Malaysian Armed Forces. It is now time to audit their personnel and equipment (weapons and weapon system) to make sure that they are prepared for any eventualities.<br /><br />Questions regarding the delay in taking the offensive by our Armed Forces, 23 days after the standoff, still remain unanswered until today and this has invited even more questions and more speculations from many parties. <br /><br />Were they waiting for the outcome of a negotiation?<br /><br />Didn’t our leaders and our military top brass have enough faith in the military’s readiness?<br /><br />Are the military’s manpower, equipment and weapons not good enough and are the soldiers unprepared to launch an early offensive?<br /><br />Are the latest few billion Ringgit state-of-the-art weapons and weapons systems purchased over the last ten years faulty, out-of-service due to lack of maintenance or have no spare parts rendering them unserviceable?<br /><br />Did our Armed Forces purchase the right equipment, weapons and weapons systems in the first place?<br /><br />Are the members of our Armed Forces well and properly trained?<br /><br />Corruption and ‘vested interests’ have resulted in over-inflated prices of almost all of our weapons and weapons systems purchases.<br /><br />Given what we have seen so far, it is dreadful to think about our Armed Forces facing a threat 10 times bigger than the Lahad Datu incursion by members of the Royal Army of the Sultanate of Sulu equipped with more sophisticated weapons and better trained militants?
