Panas, panas, panasss... artikel yang ditulis oleh editor bersekutu RENTAKA, Malik Saedon yang disiarkan oleh akhbar Hariam Metro pada 2 Jun 2014 telah mengundang kontroversi di laman media sosial. Semuanya gara- gara tajuk artikel yang telah diubah oleh pihak editorial Harian Metro. Rata- rata peminat pertahanan meluahkan perasaan tidak puas hati dengan pembelian helikopter tempur untuk PDRM dan mengatakan bahawa PUTD sepatutnya mengoperasikan helikopter tersebut sekiranya pembelian diteruskan. Malah, ada komen nakal yang mengatakan bahawa artikel ini terhasil apabila sel- sel otak penulis tidak dapat berhubung. Oleh: Malik Saedon (rentaka.weebly.com)
Tanggal 8 Mei 20013, Menteri Dalam Negeri, Datuk Dr. Zahid Hamidi telah mengeluarkan kenyataan bahawa diantara kelengkapan yang akan dibeli untuk digunakan di Lahad Datu adalah helikopter tempur. Sejak dari hari itu, banyak blog- blog pertahanan tempatan memperkatakan tentang kenyataan yang dikeluarkan oleh Datuk Dr Zahid Hamidi terutamanya persoalan apakah jenis helikopter tempur yang bakal digunakan? adakah helikopter tempur bermakna helikopter penyerang dan mengapakah Menteri Dalam Negeri yang mengeluarkan kenyataan tersebut dan bukannya Menteri Pertahanan?
