The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) and the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) are conducting a bilateral maritime exercise, from February 27 to 7 March 7, 2012.
Codenamed Exercise Malapura, Singapore is hosting this year's exercise, the 22nd in the series held since 1984.
About 540 personnel from the RSN and RMN are involved in the 10-day exercise which will see both navies carry out joint planning and training at Changi Naval Base, and conducting drills in conventional naval warfare and maritime security in the Malacca Strait.
The RSN is taking part in the exercise with a frigate (RSS Formidable), a missile corvette (RSS Valour), and a patrol vessel (RSS Brave); while the RMN is participating with a frigate (KD Jebat) and two patrol vessels (KD Terengganu and KD Selangor).
The RSN and RMN interact regularly across a wide range of activities. These include professional exchanges and courses, as well as multilateral activities as part of the Five Power Defence Arrangements.
The two navies have also been working closely to enhance maritime security through the Malacca Strait Patrols arrangement. These regular interactions serve to strengthen mutual understanding and professional ties among the personnel of both navies
