A total of 50,000 national service (NS) trainees selected for the third batch of the ninth series of the programme are scheduled to begin their training on Sept 9.
National Service Training Department (JLKN) director-general Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil said today the department had notified those selected via mail or the JLKN website or text message.
The date gave the opportunity for the Muslim trainees to celebrate Aidilfitri with their fellow non-Muslim trainees as it was still within the festive period, he said.
“The camp commandants can opt to insert the Aidilfitri celebration in the orientation programme so that the trainees can get to know one another better,” he told Bernama .
On July 14, about 24,000 NS trainees from the second batch of the ninth series programme completed their training, enabling the Muslim trainees to observe the Ramadan fast and celebrate Aidilfitri with their families.
