Tamizi Hj Tamby 1 Report post Posted November 19, 2010 FYI, the ex-pm still can use the gomen facilities only for official task that given by gomen but it limited. Like Tun Dr M and Tun Abdullah, after they retired the only have 2 bodyguard and etc. TQ same like 'skim pencen', u will receive the salary after retired but half saja laa.. Same like PM, after retired, the benefit will be limited. Hmm,interesting facts you've shared with us,Pyan.But since Pak Lah still an MP for Kepala Batas,does he still receive the MP allowances? Sorry for the OT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timothy 1 Report post Posted December 11, 2010 In most countries, retired PM is a civilian; don’t have privilege to use gomen’s facility. However, if they are appointed to company, they will use the company’s facility as per contract. just wondering, why is everyone leaving their shirts untucked ?? I don't want to sound like a school teacher, but certainly it's courtesy for the public to dress appropriately ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Syukri J 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2011 The Sabre was repainted and has been moved to the front the Officer's Mess. It is just on the left side of the road, immediately before the air base main entrance if you are driving from Butterworth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MIR 2 Report post Posted May 2, 2011 (edited) The guys from RAAF Base Towsville just arrived yesterday, they charted a Royal Brunei Airlines B777 to PEN. I remember, there was one exercise a few years back at BWH whereby the crews and equipments arrived a few days later than the Hornets due to some problems.

Victor A. 2 Report post Posted May 3, 2011 Stupid question but how the hornets coming from there? no such thing as stupid question bro, only stupid answers... i believed the Hornets flew directly from Australia and somewhere along the way, they do mid air refueling...just my guess... p/s: RMAF Hornets did the same routine while flying to Darwin for Exercise Pitch Black in 2008.
