MRCA - Gambaran Besar

Dengan program MRCA India telah mencapai kata putus dengan pembelian pesawat Rafale dan Indonesia memilih untuk membeli 11 buah pesawat SU-35 buatan Rusia, tumpuan kembali ke atas program MRCA Malaysia yang masih belum mencapai kata putus walaupun penilaian pesawat telah bermula semenjak 2002.

So what is delaying the Malaysian MRCA programme?  Is it because Malaysian Government do not have the money for the programme?  Or are there other underlying reasons which has resulted in the programme having a very slow start?
