KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 24 — The government plans to establish Veterans’ Day to honour the service and sacrifice of Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) veterans.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin said a specific date for the celebration will be proposed to the Cabinet soon for the government’s approval.
“It will serve as a recognition, a formal acknowledgement that we honour veterans.
“It will also certainly foster closer ties and greater public appreciation for MAF veterans in our country,” he said at the opening ceremony of the 100th National General Assembly of the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association (PVATM) here today.
