Perlis Raja Muda calls on army personnel to increase commitment

Raja Muda of Perlis Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail has called on all army personnel to increase their commitment to build armed forces that are truly inclusive, relevant and trusted by the country and the people. He said such an aspiration may be realised if army personnel were always honest and sincere in discharging their responsibilities, besides having high level of passion, determination and faith. "With the increased commitment, the country's safety and people's wellbeing can be maintained in upholding the aspirations of the people and the country's sovereignty." Tuanku Syed Faizuddin, who is also Territorial Army 504th Regiment Commander, said this at the breaking of fast event at Seri Wangsa Camp in Semporna, Sabah, yesterday.

According to the statement issued by southern Ops Pasir secretariat here, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin was leading the Perlis state delegation to visit and monitor the Ops Pasir area in Sabah since Friday. The Raja Muda was met in arrival by Army First Division commander Major General Datuk Mohd Zaki Mokhtar and Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) 7th battalion commanding officer Lt Col Mohd Shauari Mat Piah. Earlier, Tuanku Syed Faizuddin and his entourage also visited and presented Raya goodies to members of the 7th battalion of RAMD, General Operations Forces and Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) stationed at Tabawan, Danawan and Mabul islands in Sabah.
