It also said the National Service 3.0 Series 1/2025 involved the participation of 120 voluntary trainees consisting of 80 men and 40 women aged between 18 and 25 from various backgrounds, races, religions, education, and localities.
According to the ministry, the National Service 3.0 will use a training module that integrates 70 percent of basic military training and 30 per cent of statehood components.
“For the basic military training module, trainees will be equipped with basic military skills, national security policy, basic well-being of Malaysia Madani and leadership skills.
“The statehood component module will expose trainees to training on elements of identity, patriotism, and strengthening unity,” it said.
It also stated that National Service 3.0 is a vehicle for the formation of a new generation that has the spirit of patriotism, noble values, the spirit of unity, and the spirit of volunteerism.
The National Service 3.0, it said, is implemented based on five objectives, namely to increase patriotism among the young generation, foster and unify youths from various races, enhance national integrity, form positive character, and practise good values.
Another objective is to instil and fuel the spirit of volunteerism and produce a young generation that is fit, intelligent and confident, it said.
