There’s no aircraft carrier in the entire world that’s not detected by radar.. having said that who dares to take on US Navy or their aircraft carriers? You can have all misconceptions in the world but underestimate US defense at your own peril

China intruded into M’sian waters 89 times in last three years, says audit report
PUTRAJAYA: China's military encroached into Sabah’s and Sarawak's waters in the South China Sea 89 times from 2016 to 2019, says the third series of the Auditor-General's Report 2018.
Of the 89 times, the China Coast Guard (CCG) intruded into Malaysian waters 72 times while the remaining were by the People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), the report added.
"Our audit found that the reason for the CCG and PLAN's existence was to demonstrate China's presence in regard to its South China Sea claims, especially in the Beting Patinggi Ali (BPA) area," stated the report released on Tuesday (July 14).
It added that the intrusion of CCG ships increased in 2017 but decreased in 2018 and 2019.
Despite it reducing, China started to place PLAN ships in the country's maritime zone, the report noted.
"The Royal Malaysian Navy (TLDM) took action by chasing the concerned ships out and submitted a report of the intrusion to the Foreign Ministry to make a diplomatic protest. But the ships from China continued to trespass into the country's maritime zone," it said.
The report added that the first diplomatic protest was made in 2017 in response to the diplomatic protest note from China involving its claims in the South China Sea, especially in the BPA zone.
In 2018 and 2019, the report said, five diplomatic protest notes were made on China's intrusion into Malaysian waters in the South China Sea.
Separately, the report also noted that in its audit, the negotiations on the maritime borders between Malaysia and Indonesia as well as Singapore were still ongoing, including solutions to solve related maritime border issues.
The report found that spoiled assets and the wide area of Malaysia's Maritime Zone (MMZ) had made it difficult for security control activities and enforcement activities in the area.
It pointed out that 34.6% of the boats or ships of enforcement agencies in the MMZ were unusable, adding that this has affected the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations.

Dreaded annual haze may return
PETALING JAYA: Just as most Malaysians are heaving a sigh of relief that the country is in the recovery stage of the Covid-19 pandemic, another problem is looming – the annual haze.
The haze which normally occurs between June and October may make a comeback if neighbouring countries and Malaysia fail to control open burning that is the cause of transboundary haze.
Medical experts are concerned that the haze may cause further problems to those already infected with Covid-19.
Malaysian Public Health Physicians’ Association president Datuk Dr Zainal Ariffin Omar said risk groups such as children and the elderly who are Covid-19 positive will face enhanced respiratory problems if the haze occurs.
Dr Zainal said as Covid-19 spreads through droplets and is not an airborne virus, people could protect themselves by continuing to mask up whether or not haze occurs this year.
“There has been no evidence or study that the haze situation will increase the spread of Covid-19, so technically it’s a very remote possibility.
“But because the virus spreads through droplets, using a face mask will lessen the possibility of infection.
“I would advise people to continue using a face mask, before, during and after the haze,” he said.
Environment Department air division director Mashitah Darus said Asean countries need to be certain that this does not recur this year.
“This is because polluted air can increase the risk of Covid-19 infection to the general public.
“In this season, the southern part of the South-East Asian region that covers major Indonesian islands such as Sumatra and Kalimantan and Peninsular Malaysia will experience a dry season with surface temperatures above normal levels and rainfall less than other seasons,” Mashitah told The Star.
For this reason, the control of haze-causing forest fires should be monitored more closely for the dry season, she said.
In June, the current state of air quality based on the Air Pollutant Index (API) reading showed that almost all air quality in the country was at a moderate level.
The department also issued a strong warning to all landowners to monitor their land, especially in vulnerable and often burned areas such as peatlands, farms, construction sites, landfills including illegal dumping sites, forests, shrubs and industrial areas.
“Landowners are required to take steps to prevent invasion by irresponsible parties resulting in open burning.
“Strict action will be taken against any irresponsible party causing open burning, including landowners,” said Mashitah.
Under Section 29 (A) of the Environmental Quality Act 1974, those convicted of an open burning offence may be subject to a fine of up to RM500,000 or imprisonment of up to five years or both.
Among others, the department is patrolling and using drones to monitor open burning incidents and fire-prone areas such as peatlands and waste disposal sites; monitoring the current air quality status; and enhancing community participation to help monitor cases.
Quoting media reports, Mashitah said Indonesia had started cloud seeding operations as the country’s first step in overcoming its annual forest fires, believed to be the cause of haze around South-East Asia.
“Indonesia began implementing cloud seeding in the Riau hotspot in Sumatra, with plans to do so in other parts of Borneo.
“This operation will continue throughout the dry season, which is expected to continue until the end of September and the focus is on peatlands that are flammable when dried for agricultural purposes,” she said.
On July 1, Reuters reported that the Central Kalimantan province in Indonesia declared a state of emergency until Sept 28 after identifying over 700 fires.
Meanwhile, the Malaysian Meteorological Department said the API for most places in the country was currently at a normal level, with most places in Sabah and Sarawak registering good air quality while the peninsula had good or moderate readings.
Its director-general Jailan Simon said as of Wednesday night, there was only one hotspot in Sumatra and none in Kalimantan, due to rain.“Rain is expected over the next few days in the areas so we won’t be experiencing transboundary haze for the time being,” he said when contacted.
The Asean Specialised Meteorological Centre also noted that rainy weather prevailed over many parts of the Asean region yesterday and hotspot activities in the region remained generally subdued.
Meanwhile, the Fire and Rescue Department said it recorded a total of 94 open burning cases at forests in May and June as well as 54 cases at farms or orchards in the same period.
For forests, there were 50 open burning cases in May followed by 44 cases in June while at farms or orchards, there were 31 cases in May and 23 incidents the following month.

How short are our memories? We praise PH and looked at them as reformers Anwar ,DAP and Amanah.First thing PH did when in government was to announce that its manifesto could not be carried out !
The 22 months PH had what reforms did it implement? Anwar was chasing Tun to step aside.Anwar was fighting with Azmin.Did PH focus on reforms? Now we are saying that Anwar should be PM to carry out reforms now or in future!
What did Anwar choose? He chose to be Opposition Leader rather than taking back Putrajaya and many applauded him for that choice so why complain about loss of freedom,harassment,abuse of powers?

The consolation out of this COVID-19 pandemic teaches us to follow SOP and this will be the new normal for future pandemics which are sure to come. At least we Malaysian know and come to accept what is a 3-month lockdown.

Flavour bomb: Durian package leads to evacuation of Bavarian post office, six hospitalised
GERMANY (DPA): A pungent-smelling package triggered a major operation involving police, fire and emergency rescue services in Bavaria here on Saturday (June 20), before it was found to contain durian from Thailand.
The authorities had responded to a call by Deutsche Post employees who said they felt unwell after breathing in fumes.
About 60 people were evacuated from the postal facility, police said.
Twelve postal workers received medical support due to nausea, with six taken to hospital as a precaution.
The parcel was later taken outside and opened before it was delivered to its recipient in the town of Schweinfurt.
