The Bunga Mas Lima class is a class of auxiliary ships in service with the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN). The class comprises two ships: KA Bunga Mas Lima and KA Bunga Mas Enam. Each ship has a length of 132 metres (433 ft 1 in) and displaces about 9,000 tonnes (8,900 long tons).
KA Bunga Mas Lima and KA Bunga Mas Enam were built at Malaysian Marine and Heavy Engineering in Pasir Gudang, Johor. Both ships were purchased by RMN to escort and protect Malaysian freighter ships in international waters. They are also used to patrol and control securities in Sabah waters to enforce the ESSZONE task in Sabah.[1][2][3]
