The Kapal DiRaja Lekiu and Kapal DiRaja Jebat frigates were commissioned into the Royal Malaysian Navy in March and May 1999. The Malaysian Ministry of Defence placed a contract on Yarrow Shipbuilders (now BAE Systems Marine) in Glasgow for two light frigates of the Frigate 2000 design.
"The Kapal DiRaja Lekiu and Kapal DiRaja Jebat frigates were commissioned into the Royal Malaysian Navy in 1999."
The first ship, the Lekiu (30), was launched in December 1994, with the second, the Jebat (29), following in May 1995. The Jebat carries the lower pennant number to signify the seniority of this ship, which accommodates the Admiral of the Royal Malaysian Navy.
In July 2006, BAE Systems received a letter of intent from the Royal Malaysian Navy for the procurement of two new frigates to be based on the Lekiu design. Labuan Shipbuilding and Engineering (LSE) of Sabah, Malaysia, is to be the lead Malaysian facility.
The Raytheon Evolved SeaSparrow Missile (ESSM) system has been selected for the batch 2 frigates. A contract award is expected by the end of 2007
