PORT DICKSON, Oct 17 — The Malaysian Army (TDM) will review its standard operating procedures (SOP) following the arrest of a serviceman found with a pistol, dozens of rounds of ammunition and liquid suspected to be ketum at a camp in Kuala Lumpur.

Chief of Army Gen Tan Sri Azhan Md Othman said the review was part of the army’s continuous efforts to improve existing procedures and address any gaps identified.

“The same applies to this case. We are constantly monitoring. Although an SOP is already in place, we are always looking at continuous improvement,” he told reporters after the Passing Out Parade of Young Male Soldiers Series 206/26, involving 1,485 soldiers, here today.

The event was also attended by Chief of Defence Force Gen Tan Sri Malek Razak Sulaiman.
