: High discipline among NS trainee praised

TAWAU, Trainees at the Nasional Service (PLKN) at San Shui camp received high praise for their well disciplined show despite only joining the program for the past one week.

Brigadier General Datuk Liew Yun Fah said this during his speech during the launching of the installation of rank and session with the deputy chairman of Nazeran last Friday held at the camp.

`I am happy with the discipline shown by participants especially during the singing of national and state anthems’, he said in the event with the 383 trainees for the three months course.

Liew cited the aim of the government to instill a sense of love for the country among the youth through this program is proven to be successful.

At the same time, Liew who is also the commander of the 516th Regiment of the Territorial Army urges youth to continue to learn what they can from the program as all the syllabus taught will be good for the youth and the country.

`The attack of the acting district police chief recently which also involve youth is a very sad incident’, he stated over the attack made against Superintenden Haji Ramli Ali Mat.

He explained that Ramli is a man who had contributed much not only to the district but to many part of Malaysia.

Touching on the installation of rank, Liew urges those receiving the rank should not take this as something to be proud off but instead it carries more responsibilities as entrusted to them.

`Remember the rank will be followed by responsibilities so do your responsibilities well’, he added.

He also said the Nasional Service program is a program meant for all Malaysian regardless of race and not aim at any particular race.

He said trainees in the program should therefore continue to practice co-operation among the various races found in the country through the program.

Liew at the same time also said many Malaysian of Chinese origin are now eager to have their children join the program as compared to the past and this was made possible from the effort by past and present leaders in channeling the proper meaning and aim of the program.

`Many such parents had come to me to ask me to help in enrolling their children into the program’, he explained.

This he added was made possible from the effort by past leaders such as Tan Sri Dato’ Lee Lam Thye who was the ex-chairman of the Nazeran committee.


Also present during the event was the camp commander Noor Azhar Borhan.
