KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 2 — The government has agreed to improve the career progression of senior Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) officers in recognition of their heavy responsibilities in defending national sovereignty and security, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said the agreement was reached during a special meeting with MAF’s top leadership, which he chaired today.
He noted that the move aligns with the need to strengthen national defence capabilities amid an increasingly complex and challenging global security and geostrategic landscape.
“The meeting also provided an opportunity for us to examine the readiness of each service branch, as well as the procurement and maintenance needs of defence assets, to ensure the MAF’s operational capabilities remain at their peak,” he said in a Facebook post.
