LIMA 2015: Malaysia looks at air priorities
As Malaysia is coming to the end of the 10th Malaysian Plan (2011-2015), which outlines government spending, no major procurement is expected to be undertaken for this year. However, companies are already positioning themselves for the beginning the next plan when new procurement priorities will be announced.
All three services of the Malaysian Armed Forces, plus Malaysian Armed Forces Headquarters (for overall MAF and tri-service requirements), have to submit their funding requests to the government for the 11th Plan and the programmes that will be funded under it by mid-June this year.
Whether these programmes will be approved is open
