00:00Questions have been raised over the Royal Malaysian Air Force's decision to award a new contract

00:07to a company which failed to deliver four Sikorsky UH-68 Black Hawk helicopters

00:13barely eight months ago.

00:15According to a letter, AeroTree Defence and Services Sundram Berhad was awarded a contract

00:21to calibrate the instrument landing system equipment for fixed-wing aircraft

00:26at three military air bases recently.

00:29Last November, the Defence Ministry cancelled a RM187 million lease contract it signed with AeroTree

00:38after the company failed to deliver the aircraft despite three date revisions.

00:43The four helicopters, leased for five years, were intended to serve as a platform for the Army's Air Team Nucleus,

00:50supporting both training and operational flight missions.

00:54One source expressed shock upon learning of the award, barely eight months after the Black Hawk fiasco.

01:02The source said the Defence Ministry must explain itself as it was understood that another company,

01:08whose name is being withheld, was initially awarded the calibration contract but lost it suddenly.
