| RMAF to close Sungai Besi base from Nov 30 Posted: 09 Aug 2011 08:34 AM PDT KUALA LUMPUR: The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) is set to close the Sungai Besi air base from Nov 30 and it will only be operational for helicopters. RMAF chief Tan Sri Rodzali Daud said aircraft operations would be relocated to other RMAF airports and air bases. "This is to enable 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB) to start preparing the groundwork for the 1Malaysia people's housing project," he told reporters after presenting a RM2,500 cheque to runner Suwaibah Muhammad Nasir, who will take part in a gruelling run across the Sahara desert, at the RMAF Museum here Tuesday. Government-owned strategic development company, 1Malaysia Development Bhd (1MDB), the master developer for Bandar Malaysia, signed the sale and purchase agreement with the federal land commissioner for the transfer of 196.6ha of Sungai Besi airport land to 1MDB in June. On the RMAF museum and mosque, Rodzali said the RMAF wished to keep the assets even after the Sungai Besi air base ceased operation. "However, we are still in discussion with 1MDB on relocation of assets, infrastructure and existing facilities from the air base such as logistics, squadrons, accommodation and officer mess to new bases in Subang and Sendayan as well as Kuantan. "What is most important at the moment is to create and build a command and control system at the new base in Subang to enable the operations here to be transferred there," he said, adding that he expected the entire development and transfer would be completed in 2016. He said the RMAF Subang air base would operate as the command and control centre while the proposed Sendayan air base would be for flight training and Kuantan would house other assets. - Bernama Full Feed Generated by Get Full RSS, sponsored by Used Car Search. |
| Hammer may have been weapon in brutal murders of woman, boy Posted: 09 Aug 2011 07:16 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: A hammer is believed to be among the weapons used in the murders of a woman who was dismembered and a boy, in Taman Kosas, Ampang, Selangor, on Wednesday, Selangor police revealed. State police chief Datuk Tun Hisan Tun Hamzah said Tuesday that injuries on the victims had the marks of hammer blows. Autopsy experts were analysing the bodies before announcing the cause of death of the two victims, he told reporters here. He said more than 100 people have been interviewed and statements taken from 40 witnesses so far, in relation to the case. Police have also recorded statements from a man said to be the husband of the murdered woman. "The man said the woman disappeared after July 29. He realised this as the woman had not returned home." Body parts of the woman were found in several plastic bags along with the dead boy in an unoccupied apartment. - Bernama Related Stories: |
| PAS Youth supports church raid Posted: 09 Aug 2011 06:48 AM PDT SHAH ALAM: The Selangor Islamic Religious Department (Jais) used its prerogative to raid a function at the Damansara Utama Methodist Church last week, PAS Youth said, adding the movement backed the action. PAS Youth chief Nasrudin Hassan said it supported the Jais action on the principle that the department was keeping the akhlak (conduct) of the Muslims in check. "Basically, the role of Jais is to protect the sanctity of Islam. "There should not be any doubt on the action it took. Instead, it should be supported," Nasrudin said after meeting Selangor executive councillor Datuk Dr Hasan Ali at his office here Tuesday. Saying Dr Hasan had shown him strong "evidence" that led to the raid, Nasrudin said he was satisfied with the explanation given by the state exco member. Urging critics not to be prejudiced, Nasrudin said Jais was merely carrying out its duty. Related Stories: |
