Malaysia Seeks Over S$321 Million from Norway over Axed Defence Deal The recent decision by Norway to cancel export approvals for a naval strike missile system destined for Malaysian combat ships has sent shockwaves through the global arms industry.
At its core, this is not just a bilateral dispute between two countries but rather a symptom of a deeper issue – the erosion of trust in international relations and the reliability of Western defence partners.
Malaysia's Defence Minister Mohamed Khaled Nordin has stated that his country will seek compensation for both direct and indirect costs, including the cost of dismantling and replacing equipment on ships built to accommodate the Norwegian made missiles.
