SAF Maritime Flights
The SAF periodically flies along the FIR boundaries periodically from SIN right up to the North of Sumatra and back. They fly low level at A050 (5000ft) and are in contact with Lumpur Information.
Sometimes they enter the Lumpur TMA without permission. The charts are already with you to show the boundaries and limitations of Lumpur TMA.
Deviating into the approach/departure path of an International Airport is not a safe thing without a two way radio comm. I understand if you are on a weather deviation but please do tell us what are your intentions (for eg what is your heading and how long you will be on that heading. With weather being a norm every afternoon around the approach path of 32L/R, deviations and flying across the localizer is a norm. Help us to help you.

Saint, safety my friend safety. You dont enter someones TMA without talking to anyone do you? I had to put a couple of airplanes on different headings because this F50 guys refuse to acknowledge anyone. Hope this helps.

veloo maniam: slayerdude is correct, if you're having occasional airspace intrusions by the SAF (or anyone else) on your watch simply make a note of the date/time/place etc. and passed this through the established channels for action.
