While we were celebrating Valentine’s Day, a 136-meter Chinese warship showed up in Malaysian waters.

It was later confronted and surrounded by KM Tun Fatimah (APMM) and Bunga Mas Lima (RMN).

Let that sink in.
136 meters long.
Almost 4,000 tons.
That’s not a fishing boat. That’s not a “misunderstanding.”
That’s a grey hull with a message.
And here’s the part people don’t talk about:
It is near the Lunar New Year period.
While families are going to have reunion dinners, red packets, and fireworks
their ships were still out “working overtime” in someone else’s waters.
So when people ask why ASEAN countries need bigger fleets, stronger maritime patrols, and more deterrence capability this is why.
You cannot defend 200 nautical miles of EEZ with patrol boats designed for coastal smuggling.
When a 4,000-ton vessel shows up, you don’t respond with hope.
You respond with steel.
This is not about hate.
This is about sovereignty.
And sovereignty doesn’t rest during festive seasons.
