Abstract
The reasons for submarine acquisition in Malaysia are explored against the general strategic context in Southeast Asia and the country’s unique approach to the challenges it identifies is demonstrated. The contribution that submarines are thought to make to Malaysia’s security is discussed, and the technological, economic and demographic problems their acquisition poses are identified.
