The 2.5x42mm binoculars offer a compact, Generation 1 design that’s lightweight and exceptionally comfortable to use over long periods. It delivers a long range, extra-wide field of view and superior after-dark vision, with a built-in infrared illuminator to penetrate even the murkiest of shadows.
Bushnell’s 2.5x42mm binoculars are ideal for law enforcement, night navigation, and surveillance or observing wildlife under the veil of darkness. They’re the ultimate in magnified, after-dark stealth vision. And no flashlight will ever be able to make that claim!
The fullset
How much is this binoculars? According to an online store (Binoculars.com), it is sold at $452 after 44% discount.
Buying from online store can get almost 50% discount!!
Its price is quite ok considering the advanced night vision feature it has. But then, The Malaysia’s Marine Parks Department (JTLM) bought this gadget at a whopping price of RM56,350 which is 2,805% more than market price!!! Yes, you read it right, they spent $56 thousand just for this! A binoculars has turned into ridiculous!
The more ridiculous facts are that the fradulent purchase was not just limited to this binoculars, but to many more government agencies purchases, as reported in the 2011 Annual Auditor General report.
*** RM16,100 for a LCD television and DVD player which was 638% more than the market rate of RM2,182.
*** RM11,845 or 246% more for a laptop and a colour printer although their market price was RM3,428.
*** A colour marine radar for RM47,725 or 478% more compared to market price RM8,255 and
*** A hand-held portable VHF transceiver for RM4,324 or 177% more compared to market price RM1,561.
This kind of hanky panky procurement act is not the first time reported by the Auditor General! What has the government done to eradicate this daylight robbery of the people money!!!
Is 1 Malaysia concept equal to people money belonged to the government?
