Does Malaysia Really Need a Submarine?

Malaysia finally got its first submarine but the question is that does Malaysia really need one? According to the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the nation's move to acquire the submarine will give the navy greater and more effective control over our waters.

"Our Government is taking action to protect our shoreline from threats, and this submarine being our first gives a credible boost to our naval forces within the region".

The arrival of the submarine has been much anticipated as it was shrouded with controversy over the connection with the death of a Mongolian model who was said to be involved in the deal negotiation.
