The Malaysian government has established fundamental standards in its defense policy, which require the defense industry to be self-reliance and not overly reliant on foreign defense assets. Malaysia's Defense Policy should prioritize this principle, as it's a fundamental aspect of strengthening defense and military capabilities. Overreliance on foreign defense assets has been a long-standing issue, and the Malaysian Defense Industry still needs to be adequately equipped to meet the needs of the Armed Forces. This study examines the significance of self-reliance principle in Malaysia's Defense Industry growth and development, aiming to enhance the capability and advancement of Malaysia's military assets.
