Why can't these be requested as offsets / goodwills for all those over the top margin contracts of the local defence companies?
Perhaps unrelated, Kelantan FC team are also known as the Red Warriors.
"Why can’t these be requested as offsets / goodwills"
Because nobody goes into business to do a charity. Heck even certain NGOS makes profits doing what they do. Another thing is 'free' sponsorship isnt free, it WILL come with a string attached tied to a long kabel.

Not always. I can think of examples in which there were no "strings attached" per see.
"Not always."
No one can guarantee it, can you? When few years down, they come collecting favours, we are 'obligated' to give. There are no free lunches. So lets keep everything above board and transparently clean. SG Govt never expects or request their public & private sectors to make 'sacrifices' to the nation and so should we.
