If you cannot follow the logic, let me enlighten you to the way of our superb minister. The inability of a diver to dive will not hamper its operation to dive because, well, its under a warranty and can be repaired.
Still unable to agree? You must be, unlike our brilliant Minister and our navy, had not driven a submarine before. So let me use an easier analogy. You must have a car. So let say you bought a second hand car (the sub is second hand). Six months into using it, suddenly it cannot move. Of course you can send it back to the seller because it is under warranty. No problem, dude.
Nevermind if before this the air cond is dead. You can always wind down the window while waiting for it to be repaired. The submarine also the same. Last time around when the cooling system died, those sailors can use a fan or something like that.
What happen when the warranty expired? What will you do to the car then? Sell it right? If not too bad lar...
Just like the submarine man...If cannot be sold, just put it somewhere to be a scrap la...
But that is not a problem. Because now there is no problem. Whatever happens in the future, who cares? The Minister might not be the same guy anymore. Maybe the one who occupy the Putrajaya will also be different.
So, now do you understand why there is no problem even if the submarine cannot dive?
Still don't understand?
Then just accept it like you always do when you read Utusan.

First, The Sub are not second hand. Scorpene are new model that came of the market. Malaysia are among it's first user along with Chile. Chile got their first boat in 2005 and if the Scorpene we have is second hand, then it can only come from there. That means our sub are still very new, despite being second hand. Not that i implying our's a second hand, our's are brand new.
We are the first user of Scorpene who operate in the tropical waters. So some problem will be expected. That's why the sub have warranty. Compare to some others, the problem face by our scorpene are miniscule in comparison. Oberon class operated by UK, not just it can't dive, it's also can't launch torpedo and the power system often fail in the middle of the sea. Collins, build by Sweden for Australian Navy, have structural integrity problem during dive. Singapore Navy circumvent most of this problem by operating second hand sub. We face this problem because we use a new and untested sub.
