Surveys foreign, particularly British, press reactions to the growth of Malaysia's armed forces. Malaysia, the author observes, is one of the few examples of an independent nation in postwar Southeast Asia which laid a limited emphasis on national defence planning during its formative years. Concludes that the storm raised in international, especially British, journalistic circles over the allegedly unnecessary expansion of the Malaysian armed forces was an over-reaction.
