  "account": "Malaysia is considering allocating a budget between RM700 million to over RM1 billion to acquire a new surface-to-surface missile system for the Royal Malaysian Navy's Long-Range Cruise Missile (LCS) ships, following Norway's decision to cancel the export license for the system originally purchased for the LCS ships. Defense Minister Khaled Nordin stated that the missile system needs to be installed on the Malaysian LCS ships, but the government cannot wait for funds from Norway before acquiring a replacement, as reported by The Star. The minister noted that the government is evaluating various factors, including cost, delivery time, and compatibility with the existing management system on the ships. The process of acquiring the missile system may take three to four years due to the need to lease and transport the equipment.",
