CONFIDENTIAL
Power Defence Arrangements we are required to consult with the other signatories in the event of an attack or threat of attack upon Malaysia or Singapore but a threat to either country is remote at present. Apart from the small team of RAF personnel which we contribute to the Integrated Air Defence System in Malaysia, there are no UK forces in place and none in the area save for the Hohħa Kong garrison. The Malaysians and Singaporeans are both rapidly building up their own military capability and air defence systems and do not expect the UK contributions to be anything but low key.
