Najib first announced that Malaysia will buy submarines in late 80s. The very next day, the Singapore defence minister also announced its intention to buy submarines. Fast forward to today the Singapore fleet is improving by leaps and bounds while ours is languishing in port, our sailors too scared to take out to sea.
Her role in the affair was not as interpreter but as a bolster for the use by the French. In the interim RMN could not find suitable candidates to be submarine sailors and even today they are afraid to dive. Such is the incompetence and psychological fear shown by the submariners. Remember LGE challenged the MOD to go with him for a dive? The MOD chickened out at the last minute and LGE went alone. That is the crux of the matter.
While the pessimists (and Singaporean and Indon navies) may say both subs are useless, we can, short of selling them to Chinese breakers' yards as scrap, use one for Uncle Ah Fatt's floating restaurant and bar, the other for our thriving smuggling activities, Ahoy!

Let's take a deep err dive and investigate the Scorpene case thoroughly.

LGE, being a dimwit landlubber wasn't able to tell from inside the submarine if it was floating or sinking. Or even moving at all.
And there weren't any window seat.
Always look on the bright side...

"I will share with you guys what I know, and what you don't know , about this affair.....and together I hope we can make some sense of how and why..."
Means we all make a case out of only "information" from me, myself, and I.
Definitely very helpful.
Sounds very much like the same kind of wind from Anwar too!
Keep trying. A good effort with little substance in terms off admissable evidence.
