Malaysian Sailors receive "Submariner Certificates"
Malaysian sailors have been training in France since 2005 learning to operate submarines. 29 out of the 146 that are currently training received certificates and insignia. 10 received the Elementary Certificate indicating they have a "General Knowledge" of operating submarines. 19 received the Advanced Certificate indicating they have "competence in handling onboard systems". "Besides the training of Malaysian crews by DCI/NAVFCO, the Malaysian submarine program includes the construction of two Scorpene submarines". The Royal Malaysian Navy currently has several surface ships that it has acquired mostly from Italy, France and Germany. Personally I am glad to see France has been training them, seeing how you don't hear much about French submarine incidents. Congratulations to the new Royal Malaysian Navy Submariners!
