Well, this is certainly one for the Malaysian Book of Records: the launch of the first of its two Scorpene submarines from France. But it's not sailing just yet. We only take delivery in January 2009 (??) and it'll take the sub six months to reach Malaysian waters - I hope nothing will happen to the sub on the way here (which of course, would also be another first of sorts!).Of course the purchase of the submarines were notorious for two other facts: the Perimekar contract and Altantuya murder.
Say, has anyone been following the long-winded Altantuya trials? Urm, with the Judiciary turned topsy-turvy, I guess no one really bothers any more.
