Malaysia said it will buy at least four Littoral Mission Ships from China as Prime Minister Najib Razak announced “new steps” in military cooperation between the two countries.

Najib oversaw the purchase of the vessels on Tuesday during a state visit to Beijing. While no details were released on the value of the ships, the deal comes after Malaysia recently announced that it was cutting its defense budget by 13 percent.

“Now we have agreed the first significant defence deal between our two countries, with Malaysia purchasing littoral mission ships from China,” Najib said Wednesday in an editorial published in the China Daily newspaper. The first two will be built in China and the next two in Malaysia, with further Malaysian-built ships subject to government financing, he said.

Najib said Rutte assured him that the committee will submit the final report to Malaysia before releasing it to the public. Rutte also said that the tragedy has brought the two nations closer.

North Koreans are needed to do the dangerous jobs, says Malaysia | World news | The Guardian

After a North Korean was among those killed in a mine explosion at the weekend, Malaysia’s deputy home minister, Datuk Seri Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, told reporters that the men had been working legally under a special agreement between Pyongyang and authorities in the Malaysian state of Sarawak.

“When it comes to industries such as coal mines, the jobs are very dangerous and tough,” Wan Junaidi said. “No local or Sarawakian will dare to take up such jobs — that is why [we] need foreign workers. In the coal-mining sector, only Britain, China and North Korea have highly-skilled workers.”

Defectors’ groups claim there may be as many as 65,000 North Koreans currently working abroad — primarily in China, Russia, Mongolia and the Middle East — where they are sent to jobs in construction, forestry, factories, restaurants and mines.

They have questioned the ethics of using North Korean workers, amid suggestions that their salaries are paid directly to the government in Pyongyang.

Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G. Palanivel said the Chinese Government’s postponement was due to preoccupation with the search for the Malaysia Airlines MH370 aircraft whose flight path ended in the middle of the southern Indian Ocean.

Palanivel said he had explained the matter at today’s Cabinet meeting.

"Initially, the two pandas were scheduled to arrive on April 16, but because of the incident (disappearance of MH370), the Chinese ambassador said they would send them at the end of May.

“They want to look for the black box first,” he told reporters at his office here Friday.
