  "account": "The Malaysian government is awaiting a response from Norway's Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace AS regarding its claim over a scrapped missile deal. Defence Minister Khaled Nordin revealed the government would consider additional measures following Kongsberg's reply. Earlier discussions with the supplier led to the submission of a claim, with the Malaysian authorities seeking over RM1 billion in compensation. This compensation request accounts for both direct and indirect losses, as the Malaysian government has already disbursed 95% of the RM634 million procurement value for the NSM system. The Norwegian government previously revoked the export licence for the system in May, citing a policy of limiting defence technology exports to its allies and closest partners.",
  "summary": "Defence minister says the government will consider further action after receiving the company’s response.",
