Visit To Sepanggar Naval Base-part 1

Went to the Sepanggar Naval Base yesterday. This is indeed an eye opener for me- to realise how "First Class Facilities, Third Class Mentalities" we are.

If you were to ever visit the naval base, you would be able to visualise this. I arrived at the entrance, got down the car to get approval to enter the supposingly highly secured naval base. Only now, I realise how insecure the security system is.

I admit I did not have any official papers to get in. I just told the security personals "I am here to visit MUSTIN- a US Navy Ship". The next thing I knew, I was on my way in. Leaving our(me and my friends) Identification Cards at the entrance, I then drove towards the jetty. WOW. What if I am a suicide bomber or a terrorist, would you be able to prevent a massacre or safe this naval base?

OK. Never mind. Let's just move on. Proceeded by visiting the highly sophisticated vessel. Was toured by officer on duty-Navy Mach. Thanks a lot. Salute, sir.

If you were to think that a torpedo is fired under the water, you ought to be updated. The Americans fire them from air into the sea, the torpedo would then search and lock down its target via its installed sonar system. Wow, you do not have to control it.

Ever heard of a chaf? I bet you never. A chaf is a rocket filled with aluminium foils. You should be wondering what are the aluminium foils used for right? OK, here it is. When enemies launch missiles, its sole purpose is to hit you. Anti missiles that are shot from ships are used to hit missiles that explodes upon contact or strong vibration. But missiles are getting highly sophisticated and advanced. There are missiles that explodes by itself when contacted with heat(used to gun down jet planes and normally explodes near the engines), there are missiles that explodes by itself for reasons I do not even know. Now, when the chaf launched into the air explodes, millions of aluminium foils will come out as well. This creates a signal in the enemy's radar and is aimed at confusing enemies. The missile will detect this as a target and explode in the air. The aluminium foil that explodes, can create an artificial image as big as an aircraft carrier, which houses 3000 crew-equivalent to a 10 times a 300 crew populated MUSTIN or a small town like Tanjung Aru.

Guess how far can a 50-calibre machine gun that are placed on the boat shoot. If you think it is within sight-range, you are wrong. Stand 3 miles out, or 6.6kilometres out, I can spot you and gun you down.

How about biological warfare? Well, when biological weapons are suspected to be at use, the vessel's door that are air tight shuts. The holes installed on the decks will then suck seawater and wash the whole deck. The seawater will then flow back into the ocean.

When will any Malaysians invent anything like a MUSTIN? My God, a lot of money will be saved. The greedy politicians would not be able to siphon the billions of dollars out of the country.

End of the experience on boat. Guess what. Something happened on my way out. Same place-the guard house at the entrance. I was to collect the Identification Cards left at the entrance. What the hell man? This Malaysian navy on duty(I suspect he is a West Malaysian Malay), took ten minutes to return 6 ICs. All he had to do was take the visit pass I was holding and put it into the
envelope containing the ICs.

When I arrived at the guard house, there were two people only, myself and another visitor in front of me. My God, when I was done, there were more than 12 people behind my back waiting for this sluggish officer. Guess how long I had to wait. Thanks to the government. They are producing this kind of people.

Dear ex-Prime Minister Mahathir, how to achieve Wawasan 2020 when Malaysia is like this? The world will see us as a laughing stock. Try achieving Wawasan 3030 when you fail Wawasan 2020.
