Arms deals usually raise suspicions among ordinary folks and that may be caused by the movies that are full of shady characters and huge payouts.
Maybe someone should do an analysis of which requires more dirty money - arms deals or UMNO party elections?
The MINDEF folks have come out with their "one letter covers all" version and even some malaysiakini readers have explained the deal more satisfactorily.
Some even refer to the Brazil Eurocopter deal but that deal too has a few critics - of course the person has to be an ex-military type.
This article Brazil-France Defence Pact Wrong Choice say Analysts details the type of deal that Brazil made. They are going to build the Eurocopters and so that is one reason why the cost is cheaper.
I wonder why Malaysia did not ask to build the Helicopters as that could lower costs - no maybe not such a good idea, we crash enough of the damn things without building them.
I still think that Parliamentary Select Committees should be the way to decide such important issues and not a few unknown and unseen officials.
