"MMEA will also display several vessels, including a replica of the First Offshore Patrol Vessel (OPV1), and the Maritime Ship Tun Fatimah, which began operations earlier this year, as well as air assets," he said in a statement today.
Saiful Lizan also expects visitors to be drawn by the presence of officers from the Special Task and Rescue Team (STAR Team) in Army Combat and Black Multicam uniforms, carrying HK 416, HK UMP rifles, and HK SFP9 SF pistols.
