The latest recruit intake, numbering almost 1,900 during passing out parade on last February this year at Pusasda, PD.
The biggest number in any single intake so far, if i am not mistaken, and one of the best parade too.
All the best to the new chief of the army.
congratulations gen zamrose.
2 years on the job is not much time to push agendas. anyway all the best in leading the army into a better future.
Grats..
Lets us hope under his leadership that finally our army can get their hand of several new much needed equipments like condor replacement and new light tank at least..So that his successor can solely focus on other procurement like trucked howitzers, new MRAPs, SAM system and possibly new MBT too..oh and additional towed howitzers too..that will be great..
seems that we have raised a new cavalry regiment in sabah

I would bave preferred the 2KAD to be transferred to Sabah, but it seems that they think aa additional regiment would be better. So right now Kor Armor Diraja has a total of 5 cavalry regiment, 1 MBT regiment, 1 PARA armour squadron and 1 ceremonial mounted squadron.
