Visit Melaka 2024

Facing incoming Russian fire, minefields, and other hazards, US-made Bradley infantry fighting vehicles have helped keep Ukrainian forces alive as they battle Moscow's troops. 

Washington first announced its intent to supply Ukraine with these vehicles in 2022 as part of a massive effort by the West to arm Kyiv with advanced heavy armor. M2A2 Bradleys eventually reached the battlefield in April 2023 — just weeks ahead of the counter-offensive, and they have proven to be a powerful asset in the months since.

Ukrainian soldiers have credited the highly maneuverable and formidable Bradleys with saving their lives in combat, arguing that they would likely be dead had they been riding in a less-advanced Soviet-era vehicle. Bradleys have even been used to help rescue endangered civilians under heavy fire.

Operating in a 'light tank role'

Equipped with the firepower to engage fortified positions and armored vehicles, the Bradley is primarily designed to transport infantry across hostile territories, while the US-supplied M1 Abrams tanks, which normally accompanied the IFVs, would take on Russian main battle tanks they encountered.

But with Ukraine facing a shortage of battle tanks , Bradleys have been used on the battlefield as light tanks as they are far more plentiful and expendable. More importantly, they're able to take on a Russian tank in a fight.

"There's no question that the Ukrainians seem to be using it differently from the way the US Army would use it," Mark Cancian, a defense expert and retired US Marine Corps colonel, told Business Insider's Jake Epstein and Chris Panella . "They're using it much more in a scouting role, in a light tank role, than as an infantry fighting vehicle."

In January, video footage captured two Bradleys dealing severe damage to a T-90M Proryv, Russia's most advanced tank on the battlefield, which President Vladimir Putin has called " the world's best tank ." In what initially appeared to be a mismatched confrontation, the Bradleys bombarded the T-90M with 25mm one-pound shells at close range, and the burned-up tank was seen spinning out of control shortly after.

In June, Ukraine shared video footage of the Bradley taking on a Russian armored personal carrier in a high-speed firefight. Russian soldiers aboard the APC, which the Ukrainian military website Militarnyi reported was a BTR-82A, are seen fleeing the burning Russian carrier just moments before it blows up in a cloud of smoke and sparks.

A spokesperson for the Ukrainian brigade involved in the battle said the Russian APC "subsequently exploded on mines laid by Ukraine's Defence Forces," according to Telegram analytics channel DeepState . The video appeared to be taken in the Donetsk oblast, per DeepState.

That said, these vehicles are far from indestructible, and they have fallen victim to Russia's defenses and artillery.

According to a Pentagon fact sheet , the US has provided more than 300 Bradleys to Ukraine, but nearly a third of them have been destroyed, damaged, or abandoned, according to visually confirmed images reviewed by Oryx . At least four Bradleys have been captured by Russian forces, per Oryx.

An inside look at the Bradley

Photos offer an inside look at a Bradley operated by Ukraine's 47th Mechanized Brigade in the southeastern Zaporizhzhia region. 

The Bradley is a highly maneuverable and quick-moving armored vehicle capable of transporting troops to and from the battlefield, providing them with fire support, and carrying out reconnaissance missions. 

Designed and manufactured by BAE Systems as a response to Soviet infantry fighting vehicles, the Bradley entered service in the 1980s. It was deployed to the Gulf War in the 1990s and then again sent to Iraq the following decade. It saw heavy fighting in both and proved its value against enemy armor and fortified positions.

The Bradley is a tracked vehicle, so it is sometimes misidentified as a tank. In early January, when it was announced that the US would send Bradleys to Ukraine, Air Force Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder, the press secretary for the US Department of Defense, was asked by reporters at a briefing to describe how the vehicle is different from a tank. 

"It's not a tank, but it's a tank killer," he explained. "A Bradley is an armored vehicle that has a firepower capability that can deliver troops into combat. It will provide a significant boost to Ukraine's already impressive armor capabilities. And we're confident that it will aid them on the battlefield."

Bradleys are operated by a three-person crew — a commander, a driver, and a gunner — and can carry up to six fully equipped soldiers. The vehicle can travel at speeds of just over 40 mph and has an operational range of around 300 miles.

They are armed with a 25 mm M242 Bushmaster chain gun, a 7.62 mm M240C machine gun, and Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles, which can hit armor in the distance. A 1992 Government Accountability Office report on the Bradley's Gulf War performance praised the vehicle, noting that it "proved to be lethal" and its weapons were "effective against a variety of targets."

According to the Pentagon's latest inventory of security assistance to Ukraine, the US has sent over 9,000 TOW missiles and more than 1.8 million rounds of 25 mm ammunition.

The weaponry is just a small component of the nearly $58.1 billion in military aid Washington has provided since Russia launched its initial Ukraine invasion in 2014. The Biden administration has also sent nearly 200 Stryker armored personnel carriers and more than 600 M113 carrier vehicles, in addition to drones, artillery, air-defense capabilities, and advanced rocket systems.

In the Zaporizhzhia region, where these photos were taken, Ukrainian forces went head-to-head  against Russia's formidable defensive lines and fortifications to gain ground in the region.

Late last year, Kyiv's troops managed to carve out a small pocket of liberated territory south of Orikhiv, battling through minefields, anti-tank ditches, and dragon's teeth obstacles. However, Russian forces were able to hinder Ukraine's advances into the territory by launching relentless assaults using drones, artillery, and guided missiles.

Ukraine's counter-offensive failed to break through Russia's heavily fortified lines. But the Bradleys have become an integral part of Ukraine's mechanized forces thanks to their crews' bravery.

Many of you must be aware of the latest Visit Malaysia 2020 campaign logo. The rhinoceros hornbill perched alongside a hibiscus flower and paku-pakis leaf has been the hottest topic of conversation this week.

While the environmentally inclined logo is a definite upgrade from the previously garish Visit Malaysia 2020 logo, it did bring out many grammar Nazis for the phrase “Visit Truly Asia Malaysia”.

Visit Truly Asia Malaysia? My grammar nazi is tingling.. https://t.co/M4OOM9WBCK — M.Khairi (@mdotkhairi) July 22, 2019

FYI, “Visit Truly Asia Malaysia” is actually grammatically correct. The phrase excludes an article “Visit the Truly Asia Malaysia”, but articles are optional. (If you don’t believe us, ask your English teacher lah.)

Anyway, with so much interest placed on the Visit Malaysia 2020 logo, we’ve decided to take a trip back in time to look at Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) logos of past years.

Visit Malaysia Year 1990

The entire Visit Malaysia campaign first came to light in 1990 with the theme “Fascinating Malaysia. Year of Festivals”. The campaign was deemed to be highly successful as Malaysia recorded 7.4 million tourist arrivals compared to 4.8 million in 1989.

Meanwhile, the logo was very 90s with the Sultan Abdul Samad building against a ribbon-sun hybrid silhouette and a colourful firework resembling a tree. The tagline read: “You’ll be fascinated.”

This was also the year Wira the Orang Utan mascot and the “To know Malaysia is to love Malaysia” song were introduced.

Visit Malaysia Year 1994

Spurred by the success of VMY 1990, Visit Malaysia Year 1994 was created with the theme “Fascinating Malaysia. Naturally More.”

This time, the logo was a scaled down version of the 1990 logo. It featured the same Sultan Abdul Samad building against a darker red ribbon-sun silhouette with no tagline and no firework tree.

Visit Malaysia Year 2007

It took more than a decade – 13 years, in fact- for the next VMY logo to appear. This time, the Visit Malaysia Year 2007 logo was launched in conjunction with the 50th Independence Anniversary.

This 2007 logo was simple and colourful with the words “Visit Malaysia 2007” boldly emblazoned across a white background alongside a multi-coloured hibiscus flower. As it was also 50 years since merdeka , the theme of the year “Celebrating 50 years of Nationhood” was included in the logo.

The 2007 tourism campaign included the “The time is now. The place is Malaysia” slogan together with the iconic “Malaysia Truly Asia” slogan.

Visit Malaysia Year 2014

2014 marked the year of a new avatar of the VMY logo. This time, the Visit Malaysia Year 2014 campaign was themed “Celebrating 1Malaysia Truly Asia” to reflect the diversity in unity of Malaysians.

The 2014 logo was cleaner, modern and kinda abstract featuring a 14-point star and the iconic “Truly Asia” tagline.

Wira the Orang Utan was retired and a Proboscis Monkey was chosen as the mascot.

Visit Malaysia Year 2020- Part 1

Ah, who can forget this eyesore? The first Visit Malaysia Year 2020 was unveiled in 2018 to much, much MUCH criticism for the clip-art style graphics of the Petronas Twin Towers and sunglasses wearing orangutan, proboscis monkey and turtle.

The logo was revealed to be a part of the 2020 Tourism Malaysia theme, “Travel. Enjoy. Respect”.

However, a lot of people hated it. A LOT .

@jacksfilms fix this official visit Malaysia logo. Most Malaysian are really pissed with the gov when they approve this logo. #ugly pic.twitter.com/YpFn4Zzc5M — Peace pollinator ✳️ (@epul2kyu) February 1, 2018

There was even a petition with over 13,000 supporters for Tourism Malaysia to stop using the design. It seemed like it worked because we got a new logo….

Visit Malaysia Year 2020- Part 2

Aaaaaaaaand the mistake has been rectified!

Extremely aware of the unpopularity of the previous VMY 2020 design, Tourism Malaysia introduced a brand-new logo centred around the theme of The Sustainability of Tourism, Arts and Culture.

This batik-inspired logo was picked out of hundreds of entries after Tourism Malaysia announced a Visit Malaysia 2020 logo competition earlier this year.

The rhinoceros hornbill represents the fauna and eco-adventures in Malaysia. A red hibiscus flower reflects a celebration of cultural diversity in Malaysia, playing on the English translation of “bunga raya” as “flower of celebration”. The paku pakis represents the uniqueness of Malaysian cuisine.

BONUS: Malaysia Truly Asia

Every single one of us knows the “Malaysia Truly Asia” tune and slogan. It’s what we secretly sing in our heads when showing around Mat Salleh friends or not-so-secretly yell at our brothers across the Causeway down south.

However, “Malaysia Truly Asia” was never an official Visit Malaysia Year logo. It was just a very nice, very successful tourism marketing campaign that was launched worldwide in 1999.

Due to its success in luring in curious tourists and perfectly capturing the essence of Malaysia, the slogan has remained a mainstay in Malaysia’s promotional efforts ever since.

There you have it. Now you know a little bit about Negaraku’s tourism past.

• Trivia The casting of Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni as Lily and Ryle caused backlash from fans because in the book Lily is 23 and Ryle is 30, while Lively is 35 and Baldoni is 39. Author of the book Colleen Hoover explained in an interview that she wanted to age the characters up in the movie in an effort to correct a mistake she made in the book. She said, "Back when I wrote It Ends With Us, the new adult [genre] was very popular. You were writing college-age characters. That's what I was contracted to do. I made Lily very young. I didn't know that neurosurgeons went to school for 50 years. There's not a 20-something neurosurgeon. As I started making this movie, I'm like, 'We need to age them out, because I messed up.' So, that's my fault."

Our lowdown on Malaysia.

Why visit malaysia this is what we love about the country..

For those who associate Southeast Asia with chaotic, moped-choked cities and thatch-roofed, dirt-road villages, Peninsular Malaysia can come as a bit of a surprise.

Gleaming and modern, this is a place of giant, glitzy shopping malls, well-run public services, and enough good highway to circle the Earth and then some. Its economy is one of the strongest and fastest-growing in the region. Even the farmers in the rice fields speak English well enough to correct yours. It's a cosmopolitanism that can be mistaken for blandness — but once you get beneath the surface, Malaysia is anything but.

For hundreds of years, the Malaysian Peninsula sat at the heart of a vast web of trade routes that spanned from Japan in the east to Europe and Africa in the west.

During that time, it wasn’t just silks and spices that came ashore, but people — and with them came countless languages, religious beliefs, artistic styles, and social customs, from corners as far-flung as Persia and Portugal. Some moved on, some stayed — but all of them left their mark, and their influence can still be traced in all aspects of Malaysian culture and society today.

Diversity is at the heart of what makes Malaysia so fascinating, and it’s not confined to the culture. Peninsular Malaysia may account for only 40% of the country’s total land mass — an area smaller than California — but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in geographical range.

Between opposing coasts fringed with white, sandy beaches and tropical islands, it covers just about every type of landscape found in Southeast Asia.

There are rolling hills cloaked in tea fields in the Cameron Highlands and 130-million-year-old rainforest in Taman Negara. There are farming villages nestled among the coconut plantations, and centuries-old port towns on the Strait of Malacca. All this is connected by smooth, paved roads and superfast 4G, which means no uncomfortable journeys, no long delays — in fact, it means pretty much no hassle or stress of any kind. If you want to see the best of Asia and you don’t want to waste a moment of precious time, this is the place to do it.

While these diverse landscapes provide the perfect backdrop, the main event (for us, at least) is Malaysia’s cultural diversity. In any one city, you can try on a sari in an alleyway filled with the sounds of Bollywood music and the scent of marigolds, then walk ten paces and find yourself in the heart of Chinatown, with hawkers frying Hokkien mee noodles and incense drifting out of Confucian temples. Traditional Malay stilt villages nestle in the heart of towering skyscrapers, while 15th-century Portuguese fortresses stand next to bright-red Dutch clocktowers. It's not uncommon to find an Islamic mosque, a Hindu gopura tower, and a Chinese temple standing cheek-by-jowl on a single road — evidence of a web of influences so complex it’d take a lifetime to unpick.

Though the strongest cultural influences come from Malaysia’s Malay, Chinese and Indian communities, its unique hybrid cultures are even more fascinating.

The Kristang, for instance, are Portuguese-Malaccan people who still practise Roman Catholicism and perform folk dances in European-style costume. The Peranakans have united Hoklo Chinese religion and language with native Malay traditions to form a rich and completely unique culture (not to mention one of the most delicious fusion cuisines in the world). Then there are Malaysia’s aboriginal groups, who were here before anyone else, and still live traditional lifestyles in the jungles and mountains of the Peninsula.

All this cultural commingling has spilled over from architecture, food and religion into language, too. Malaysians today speak in a colloquial patois they call “Manglish”: an eclectic mash-up of Malay, Hokkien Chinese, Tamil and English, sprinkled liberally with colourful local slang. Learn to use “suka-suka” (doing something as one likes, regardless of disapproval), “agak-agak” (approximately), and the ubiquitous “lah” (a word that everyone uses a hundred times a day and yet could never define), and you’ll delight your hosts.

All of this adds up to a culture that’s astonishingly diverse in all its aspects — but it hasn’t all been love and laksa.

Within two years of officially becoming a nation in 1963, Malaysia had expelled one of its states, Singapore, over Sino-Malay racial strife (to this day, Singapore is the only modern country to have gained independence against its will). Then, after riots in Kuala Lumpur in 1969 sent the country into a state of national emergency, the government introduced controversial affirmative action policies to give priority to Malays and indigenous peoples (the bumiputra, or “men of the soil”). Though they aimed to improve opportunities for the marginalised, not everybody agreed with them. It’s a subject that’s still hotly debated in Malaysia today.

Where there’s social discontent, religion isn’t far behind. Malaysia may be proud of its religious pluralism, but recent years have seen the country backslide toward fundamentalism with the introduction of increasingly strict Islamic policies. It’s still nothing compared to somewhere like Saudi Arabia — many Malaysian women don’t wear the veil, and for the most part cities feel cosmopolitan and uninhibited — but the fact remains that this is one of the most conservative countries in Southeast Asia. Homosexuality is illegal, though LGBT travellers are highly unlikely to encounter hostility, and even heterosexual couples can face a fine for any public display of affection beyond a peck on the cheek. Alcohol isn’t prohibited by law, but with 60% of the population Muslim non-drinkers, expect a much more muted drinking culture than in party-happy Thailand.

But though it’s important to acknowledge Malaysia’s conservative culture, it’s equally important to remember that political and religious issues don’t define Malaysian people. Far from it.  

The vast majority of Malaysians are warm, welcoming, and accepting of other beliefs and cultures. They’re also often disarmingly frank, and proud of it — though criticism is always delivered with a wink and a smile. This openness and honesty spills over into all areas of life, so if you drop your wallet, expect to get it back with cash inside (and be called a fool for losing it). Malaysian humour can be biting but it’s always good-natured, and you can rest assured that nobody is spared. As any local will tell you, you need a skin as thick as elephant hide to be Malaysian.  

Beyond their humour, Malaysians define themselves by a kind of on-the-fly spontaneity and gut-feel decision-making that they affectionately term “agak-agak”. Remember agak-agak? It’s a phrase that literally means “more or less”, but in practice it embraces all sorts of uncertainty and vagueness, and it's practically a national philosophy. Whether it’s following a recipe, keeping an appointment, or making good on a promise, don’t ask a Malaysian to be precise — it’s not in their genes. It can be a source of frustration for foreigners, but agak-agak is an invitation to stop worrying and go with the flow. Just give in to it and see where it takes you!

One place it'll most certainly take you is Malaysian cooking.

Nowhere is agak-agak more appropriate — and we suspect that it’s this anything-goes attitude that has made Malaysian cuisine so gloriously inventive. Pinching here from Hokkien Chinese cooking, there from Indian curries, and somewhere else from Portuguese baking — then melding it all with native Malay spices and ingredients — it's some of the most delicious food you can try anywhere.

In a single day you can eat tissue-thin roti dipped in spicy Indian daal, melt-in-the-mouth Javanese beef rendang, Portuguese grilled fish, and Thai-inspired tom yam, all with an unmistakable Malaysian twist. Laksa is the perfect example: a Peranakan concoction of Chinese noodle soup with Malay coconut and spices (with a Persian name, no less), it’s a delicious symbol of everything that’s great and good about Malaysian culture. Even if Malaysia’s ethnic groups haven’t yet achieved complete harmony, we like to think that its cuisine is proof it can be done.

As a well-developed country with an international outlook, Malaysia sometimes suffers from accusations of being too globalised to be interesting; too modern to have real culture.

Don’t listen. It’s easy to bemoan the effects of progress without acknowledging its benefits, and Malaysia’s modernity and economic prosperity doesn't mean it hasn't got unique culture. It just means you need to look a little harder to find it – and that's something we can definitely help with.

Malaysia isn’t rough around the edges like Laos or Cambodia, but that doesn’t make it Southeast Asia “Lite”. It's a country with a deep and complex culture, magnificently delicious food, diverse landscapes and ecosystems, incredibly warm and funny people — and on top of it all, every mod-con you could ever wish for. It's a living, breathing, changing, moving place. Just get out there and start making friends, and you’ll soon find out for yourself.
