Pakistan and Malaysia, he said, are enjoying excellent relations in the defence sector as a result of Joint Committee on Defence of both the countries which play role as an active forum.

Focusing on the multibillion-dollar China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, he said Pakistan is a blessed country with an important strategic position and it should take maximum advantage from this position for the development of the country and betterment of the nation through economic revolution.

“We are happy over the announcement of CPEC with a total volume of investment more than $40 billion and this project will attract multibillion dollars further investment to Pakistan as it is being considered one of the biggest indicators for the better economic future of Pakistan,” Dr Hasrul Sani added.

Lol it's a misquote
What he said that Malaysia will decide how many fighter jets to buy of which JF-17 is an option along with Super Hornet, Rafale, Gripen, EFT.After they decide how many jets to buy(18-24 range expected) they will choose the option.
Budget is $2.5-2.6 billion atleast

F-18 super hornet is the frontrunner as RMAF already operates F/A-18 hornet.

Another hurt ignorant is there i believe
 
.
I don't know why would Malaysia make such a decision ?

Numbers I believe.....soon Indonesia will, inshaAllah, get around 33 (24 block 52) F 16, 16 Su 27/30, 16 Su 35, and upgrade their 15 T50i to be real fighter, 24 Hawk 200

While Malaysia currently has 8 F 18, 18 Su 30 Mki, 8 Mig 29, 15 Hawk 200

We have dispute in Ambalat block in which our F 16 guard our claim. More Indonesian fighters will also put close to Malaysia in the future at Natuna island, in which from Indonesian perspective it is due to SCS tension (more about China factor), but maybe Malaysia get pressure as well

Malaysia dont trust American. That is the reason why they switch to Su-30MKM, they do not want more American stuff.
Hornet is out of question, Malaysia wants a medium, small size fighter to replace F-5EII freedom fighter. JF-17 is the forerunner for Malaysia bidding.
