KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- The MADANI government remains committed to prioritising the welfare of Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) officers, personnel, and their families, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said this includes housing matters that directly affect the well-being of personnel’s families.
Anwar said the issue was highlighted during a meeting with the senior management of the Ministry of Defence and MAF leadership at Wisma Perwira here today.
The Prime Minister added that he was also briefed on several strategic decisions relating to the nation’s sovereignty and security.
“These discussions are vital to ensure that the readiness and capabilities of the MAF continue to be strengthened in addressing increasingly complex geo-strategic challenges and threats.
“MAF remains the nation’s primary defence bastion and a symbol of sovereignty that must be preserved,” he said in a Facebook post.
The meeting, which lasted about an hour, was also attended by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin, Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar and Chief of Defence Forces Gen Datuk Malek Razak Sulaiman.
After the meeting, Anwar attended a religious lecture and performed the zuhur prayer at the Khalid bin Al-Walid Mosque.
