KOTA KINABALU: Badik is an iconic traditional dagger of the archipelago which was widely used in battles to defend the kingdom against marauding conquerors.

Therefore, it is apt that the third Littoral Mission Ship (LMS) of the country is named KD Badik, which was commissioned yesterday, to take the spirit of the weapon to defend the nation’s waters and people from intruders and invaders.
