All you need to combat piracy and to protect the sovereignty of our waterway.
But MYR56,350 for ONE bino, seriously?

All exchange rates are converted using the super marked up USD1 to MYR3.80 like the good ol days.

OK. Nevermind, maybe we can find another one or two that can complement the above and see how much it might cost.

Instead of Night Vision, why not settle for Forward Looking Infra Red (FLIR) stuff? They are thermal imaging that is widely used by the military for tactical operations. These stuff is illegal, you can see people making out behind curtain drawn windows.

This is by far the most expensive of them all. At USD 3,999, it is about MYR 16,000. But if it performs as it said it will do, no pirates within 0.25miles or 400m will escape the eyes of the Marine Department. Now that we got 5 of the 6 points sorted, we need a binocular that will allow image stabilization, you know, in case the Marine Department boats are being thrown about by rough sea, it might just help to prevent the user from rendering his binocular useless to the movement.

At USD1,599, it will be about MYR 6076. Not too bad. Missing a lot of features, but if this help, why not?
So, as a procurement manager, i now obviously do not have one product (after 1hour of survey) that can do all 6 items above. So, looking at the need or possible need of the operation, i will just consider to buy all four of them simply because i do have a budget of MYR56,350 to use.
Unless your maths is really bad, the total of all four item above comes up to MYR25,875.92
And even if i buy two units and factor in the freight charges, i might still have some change from the amount paid per the report.
So, taxpayers, WHAT SAY YOU?
