KUALA LUMPUR – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim reiterated the government’s commitment towards the welfare of Malaysian Armed Forces personnel by channelling allocation to restore designated quarters and buildings, especially those that are dilapidated.

Anwar conveyed this through a post on his official Facebook page after receiving a courtesy call from army chief Datuk Seri Mohammad Ab Rahman at his office today.

“I am always committed to ensuring the welfare of our armed forces personnel, especially access to quality education for their children,” he posted.

Anwar also touched on concerns over the country’s defence assets, which seem to be lagging behind that of neighbouring countries.

He also expressed his hope that the country’s armed forces command remains steadfast in ensuring the safety of Malaysians. – Bernama, May 29, 2023
