Army holding campaign in schools to attract non-bumi recruits

The army is carrying out an information campaign in schools to attract non-Bumiputera candidates to join the force.

Army Chief, Gen Mohammad Ab Rahman, said the campaign aims to provide information to non-Bumiputeras and the younger generation on career opportunities in the army, which is one of the branches of the armed forces.

“They were also informed that individuals who joined the army could pursue higher education to advance their careers within the force,” he said.

Mohammad said this when asked to comment on the army’s effort to attract non-bumiputra recruits before the Aidiladha sacrificial ceremony at Kem Perdana Sungai Besi in Kuala Lumpur today.

Meanwhile, he said 32 heads of cattle sacrificed in the ceremony to be distributed to the community within the camp.

Mohammad added that the army is collaborating with nine non-governmental organisations to distribute the sacrificial meat to the Asnaf group around the city.

He said cattle were also sent to the Malaysian borders so that soldiers on duty could also perform the sacrifice.
