Batch 2 : The Malaysian Frigates Dilemma

As suggested in the recent Perajurit magazine, the batch 2 frigates should be a used battleship. The argument brought were they're cheaper, already integrated, proven, and can be delivered in fraction of the time than building new warship. Well, I agree. Furthermore, with such limited funds, we can get more ships with the same amount of money to buy new warships. The move was like when we bought the Italian corvettes. The four assets were originally for the Iraqis. But we saved time when the RMN decided that we should take them instead.

... or we could buy some more of the  F2000 Frigates from Yarrow Shipbuilders, like the Jebat.
