JELEBU: The Attorney-General's Chambers (A-GC) has outlined possible options regarding the Malaysian army's proposal to cancel its lease for Black Hawk helicopters, said Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.
"The A-GC has outlined all possible scenarios and explained the necessary actions required for both canceling the lease and continuing with it," he told reporters after opening the Jelebu Umno division representative meeting at the Jelebu Umno Complex here today.
Also present was the Negri Sembilan Umno Liaison Committee chairman Datuk Seri Jalaluddin Alias, who is also the party's Jelebu division chief.
Previously, Khaled said the Defence Ministry was seeking feedback from the A-GC regarding the army's proposal to cancel the lease due to delays in the delivery of the first helicopters.
Meanwhile, Khaled said the government has plans in place for Malaysia's peacekeeping forces in Lebanon should the conflict there escalate.
"This includes bringing our personnel home. However, this requires approval from the United Nations," he said.
There are more than 800 personnel from the three branches of the Malaysian armed forces in the Malbatt 850-11 Battalion, stationed in Lebanon at present, he added.– BERNAMA
