Defense Security Asia 2012 and LIMA 2013: Rich Haven for Old Puteras?


Bukan RMC yang ini.
Bila sebut DSA sahaja, maka terbayanglah kita pameran besar-besaran yang memperagakan alat-alat perang canggih.
Pameran ini seperti LIMA juga. Ia di adakan dua tahun sekali.
Kali ini seperti biasa Defense & Security Asia diadakan pada 16-`19hb April di Putra World Trade Centre.
Diwaktu ini kalau hendak dengari 10 orang Old Putra yang jadi kaya selepas membekal alat-alat perang kepada Kementerian
Pertahanan (Kementah). Disinilah berita2 MOU dikalangan OP yang berjaya 'strike' satu business dengan pertolongan dari rakan2
dalam KEMENTAH.
Ini pun bukan.

Kekayaan di tawarkan oleh Kementah adalah satu kekayaan yang dirancang setiap tahun. Menurut teman saya yang juga bekas pelajar
Royal Military College (RMC), tidak boleh dinafikan sekurang-kurang 1000 orang bekas pelajar RMC atau OP atau Old Putra telah
menjadi kaya raya setelah mereka pencen muda atau pencen biasa (umur 55-57 tahun keatas).
Alumni terkaya masakini adalah OP (dan tersombong kata teman saya) mengalahkan Alumini MCKK dan juga Sekolah Alam Shah (kalau
cerita Maharaja China itu tidak betul). Kekayaan Alumni MCKK kini merundum akibat kurang penglibatan mereka dalam kerajaan.
Selalunya, untuk meniaga dengan KEMENTAH, syarikat yang berhajat mesti mengambil bekerja askar pencen dari golongan Kapten
keatas untuk mempermudahkan urusan perniagaan dalam KEMENTAH.
Adalah mustahil untuk mereka yang hendak berniaga dengan KEMENTAH kalau mereka ini tiada pekerja melobi yang dulu pernah belajar
di RMC.
Teman saya pula menambah bahawa sekiranya pembelian Submarin itu satu skandal, kemungkinan 50% yang terlibat adalah Old Putra.
Maka tidak dinafikan kemungkinan skandal dalam KEMENTAH sudah dirancang sekian lama kerana setiap lapisan pegawai adalah yang terdiri dari OP yang bercangkuk pauk bermual dengan upacara ragging di RMC.
Cuba kita conggak, kalau sudah 20 tahun , KEMENTAH  telah membeli senjata moden, sudah trillion ringgit dibelanjakan oleh kerajaan Malaysia.
Kadang2 ada juga gejala tidak sihat yang terbit kerana penglibatan 'fraterniti' alaf baru. Kalau kamu ke Hall yang mempamerkan teknologi Korea, kita akan terperanjat satu syarikat bermula seperti Sapura jugak berjaya membina rangkaian teknologi Kapal Selam. Syarikat ini bernama Samsung.
Cuba bayangkan satu Lt Kol (B) ini mempunyai minat dalam satu teknoloji walau teknolojinya agak tidak mematuhi specs tetapi masih akan diberi ruang oleh KEMENTAH dan diberi anjakan jadual walaupun ada syarikat bukan OP lain yang boleh membangunkan dengan lebih jayanya lagi.
Sudah tentu ini akan membawa KEMENTAH kebelakang dan ini bukan namanya KEMAJUAN.
Maka satu pertimbangan perlu diadakan oleh kerajaan menangani gejala Fraterniti dalam kerajaan kerana ini kalau tidak di bendung akan memudaratkan negara.

More about the Malaysian RMC below:
___________________________
Prior to 1952, there had been what was called the “Training Depot of the Malay Regiment” in Port Dickson. Here courses were held
in signals, tactics and military administration. The Depot also provide educational facilities to bring selected members of the
Regiment up to the necessary academic standard for acceptance at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst, for higher military
training, with a view to qualifying for commissioned rank.

Templer Hall.
On 3 July 1952, Mr. M.E.B. David, the Secretary of Defence, in the Federal Legislative Council Meeting, announced the decision
to expand the Malay Regiment Training Depot. The expansion was to result in the formation of The Malay Regiment Training Center,
that was to constitute two additional sections: The Pre-Officer Cadet Training Unit (Pre-OCTU) and an inter-racial Boys Company.

The Boys Company was to be part of the Malayan Army, serving the Malay Regiment and the Federation Regiment. The function of the
Boys Company was to provide education to sons of serving officers and other ranks in the Malay Regiment, leading to the School
Certificate level, coupled with the rudiments of military training.

The first intake of 74 Boys into the Boys Company were recruited in August 1952, from a total of 100 applicants. The ages of the
Boys ranged between 14 and 15 years. Their educational qualification, according to a 1952 newspaper buletin, was to be the
equivalent of Standard 4 (English-medium). In addition to these academic requirements those who were shortlisted had to undergo
various aptitude tests too.

The task of looking after the academic aspects in the Boys Wing was entrusted to a Director of Studies (DOS) – a civilian Senior
Education Officer. He was responsible to the Commandant for carrying out the scholastic policy drawn by the Board of Governors
of the College and thus adviser to the Commandant on general educational policies. The DOS had two Senior-Assistants each
responsible for the teaching of a group of subjects – called the Head of Science and Mathematics (HOS) and Head of Arts (HOA).

For the purpose of military training, and the co-ordination of domestics military administration required within the Boys Wing,
an Officer-in-Charge (O.C.) (later to be known as Chief Instructor - CI) was posted. He was responsible to the Director of
Studies (DOS) and thus ultimately to the Commandant.

In September 1954, the Commemoration Foundation Day was celebrated. Present to witness the Commemoration Day Parade were the
High Commissioner, Sir Donald MacGillivray, His Highness, the Sultan of Selangor, the Yang di-Pertuan Besar of Negeri Sembilan,
The Prime Minister Tunku Abdul Rahman, Deputy Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak and a large number of dignitaries.
 

The conferment of the Royal Colours to the college by HM the King of Malaysia
In 1958, reports of a proposed $20 million cantonment, covering an area of 1,200 acres (4.9 km2), to be located near Sungai Besi
(about 10 miles (16 km) from Kuala Lumpur) began appearing in local press. The entire project, expected to be completed by 1963,
was financed by the British Government under the United Kingdom Grants-in-aid Funds. An area of 200 acres (0.81 km2) was
allocated for the new Federal Military College.

The site reserved for the College consisted of scenic surroundings. The new home of the FMC was situated on a hill overlooking a
disused mining pool. The College buildings were to be modelled on the lines of some of the best military academies overseas such
as West Point in the United States and Royal Military College of Canada. They were to consist of an assembly hall, dormitories,
classrooms, a gymnasium, laboratories, some 140 married-quarters for all ranks and civilians employees and numerous playing
fields.

On 20 June 1961, the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, as Supreme Commander of the Malayan Armed Forces, officially opened the new complex.
In acknowledgement of the immense debt of which the FMC owed the High Commissioner Field Marshal Tun Sir Gerald Templer, the
Assembly Hall was named Tun Templer Hall (Dewan Tun Templer).

On December 9, 1966, in a ceremony held at the college, the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong conferred the 'Royal' title to the FMC. This
was a great honour for the college for no other educational institution in the history of this nation has the 'Royal' title
bestowed upon it. Hence since 1966, the former Federation Military College came to be known as the Royal Military College
