A senior official from the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has confirmed to IHS Jane'sthat the service is considering installing Chinese-made equipment on its Laksamana-class corvettes.
The RMN has proposed to the Malaysian government a service life extension programme (SLEP) for the four ships, which were commissioned between July 1997 and July 1999. The official declined, however, to give further details on systems being considered, adding only that all options are being considered (including weapons and combat systems).
