So, who has pocketed the RM1,200?

According to an article in BERNAMA, which quotes the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister and Defence Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak as saying Malaysia is buying 100,000 Colt M4 5.56 mm Carbines; the first shipment of 14,000 is estimated to cost RM70 million, giving a unit cost of RM5,000.

However, according to www.globalsecurity.org, the US Army National Guard in 2006 is buying 60,943 M4 Carbines at a cost of US$1,000 (RM3,800) each.

This begs the question: So, who has pocketed the RM1,200?

That's RM120 million for 100,000 carbines and RM16.8 million for the first shipment of 14,000 alone.
