Indonesia New Heavy War Ship that already come from its building fabric in Netherlands were on ready status and being operated by Indonesia navy army. The latest Navy Vessel that come this year are named KRI Frans Kaisiepo that completed the order of 4 New Navy Vessel from Netherlands (KRI = Kapal Perang Republik Indonesia or means Navy Vessel Of The Republic Of Indonesia, all of Indonesia Navy Vessel have that initial, and Frans Kaisiepo was the name of Indonesia National Hero). That War Ship are all corvettes Sigma (9113 design series) class (Indonesian call it Diponegoro class), this class is modern, luxurious and use today high end war technology. This Navy Vessels were being operated at Ambalat too, an Indonesian territory that claimed by Malaysia, Malaysia want Ambalat because Ambalat contain big resources of Petroleum and Earth Gas, this case still on process to be solved between two government, Indonesia and Malaysia, but until now Malaysia still postpone the negotiation. At this 21th century Malaysia ever annex Indonesia territory, they have been took Sipadan and Ligitan Island by winning an International Court on that case, although its traditionally known that Sipadan and Ligitan Island were Indonesian territory truly, Off course Indonesia won't make Malaysia do that thing again. So the Corvettes was the answer for Malaysia! The messages was so clear, Do not disturb Indonesia territory again. Hope this case can solved with PEACE!!!
