SHAH ALAM: Rear Admiral Mohd Rosli Abdullah has been appointed as the seventh director-general of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, effective from September 17, 2024. MMEA in a release today (September 18) stated that Rosli was the acting deputy-director general operations prior to his appointment as the top Coastie.
As he is a two-star prior to his new post, it is likely he will also be made a full admiral soon. The release did not state the new DGβs age but stated he has been in the national maritime security field for the last thirty years. He has a surface warfare badge, so I am assuming he was a former shipβs driver. This post will be updated once the MMEA posted a more detailed biodata of its new DG.

π£π¨π§π₯ππππ¬π, ππ΄ π¦π²π½ππ²πΊπ―π²πΏ β Laksamana Muda Maritim Datuk Haji Mohd Rosli bin Abdullah secara rasmi dilantik sebagai Ketua Pengarah Agensi Penguatkuasaan Maritim Malaysia (Maritim Malaysia) yang ketujuh berkuatkuasa semalam.
Sebelum dilantik sebagai Ketua Pengarah Maritim Malaysia, Datuk Haji Mohd Rosli merupakan Pemangku Timbalan Ketua Pengarah Operasi Maritim Malaysia.
Berpengalaman hampir tiga dekad dalam bidang keselamatan maritim, Datuk Haji Mohd Rosli memiliki kepakaran dalam merancang pelaksanaan operasi maritim khususnya dalam menangani isu jenayah rentas sempadan seperti kemasukan Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin (PATI), penyeludupan dadah dan kontraban serta rompakan di laut.
Antara kejayaan terbesar di bawah kendalian beliau ialah OP PELANTAR MERAH yang menghasilkan tangkapan berprofil tinggi sekaligus mengurangkan kadar jenayah di sekitar pelantar minyak di perairan negara.
Terbaharu beliau sedang mengetuai perancangan bagi membangunkan Sistem Pengawasan Laut (SWASLA) di perairan Sarawak dan Pantai Timur Semenanjung dalam usaha meningkatkan kebolehcapaian radar bagi mengawasi semua jenis pergerakan bot atau kapal mencurigakan di perairan negara khususnya di Laut China Selatan.
Merupakan seorang yang komited dalam menjalankan tugas yang diberikan, Datuk Haji Mohd Rosli pernah menyandang pelbagai jawatan penting di Maritim Malaysia termasuk Pengarah Maritim Negeri Selangor, Pengarah Perisikan Maritim Malaysia, Pengarah Perancangan Strategik Maritim Malaysia, Pengarah Maritim Negeri Sabah dan Wilayah Persekutuan Labuan serta Pengarah Bahagian Keselamatan dan Pengawasan Maritim Malaysia.
MMEA Logistics chief, Vice Admiral (Maritime) Saiful Lizan Ibrahim, who was appointed as the acting DG twice, was again not selected for the top post. Just as I had predicted in an earlier post.

Any news regarding 9 patrol ships + interceptors approved in Belanjawan 2024?
CMIIW, Rear is 3rd level behind Vice admiral rite, so if hes getting a full admiral promo that means jumping 2 positions ahead.
As for why he got ahead, well, a ship driver will get more attention than a paper pusher. Like all other chiefs are former frontliners and not from logistics or support or engineering roles.
Any news on opv2 and opv3 for that matter? at all? menteri saifuddin didnt give any update about them at all
If that shipyard confirmed foreclosure, there will be a lengthy trip to untangle the legal mess before can even restart the project for OPV 2&3, not to mention the project team need to reform, the workers need to rehire, need to reengage the OEM principals, and replace any wornout parts due to storage (the hull parts are stored outside in open). I think its why the Govt had rushed to take out OPV1 before the lawyers came in.
