00:00Defence Minister Khaled Nordin criticised the deafening silence from major powers today
00:05over the collapse of its deal with Norway for a naval missile system,
00:10saying it sends a dangerous message about the integrity of international contracts.
00:15Khaled criticised what he called double standards in the application of international law
00:21among developing nations and powerful countries or their allies, AFP reported.
00:27He said Malaysia was now talking with real partners to buy the missile system.
00:34Norway has said that the revocations were solely due to Norway's application of the export control regulations
00:41and that it is regrettable that they have affected Malaysia.
00:46Khaled said this month that the government had sent a notice to the company involved,
00:52Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace,
00:54demanding compensation for both direct and indirect costs.
