SHAH ALAM: The country’s highest ranking decorated serviceman Mejar Jeneral Khairul Anuar Abd Aziz has been appointed as the chief of staff of the Joint Force Headquarters. Khairul Anuar took over from Mejar Jeneral Fazal Abdul Rahman, who according to JF release has been appointed as the commander of the Second Infantry Division.

The other 2 Generals have a bluewish badge on their right pocket, earned from a foreign staff college?
It is interesting that Leftenan Jeneral Noor Mohamad Akmar Mohd Dom is still wearing the old camo pattern and not the RMAF digital one. .
Is Somalia the latest, where our armed forces men got their PGB?
Forgot to add I mean those still in service.
It is the current Paskal operational camo.
The right pocket is reserved for local colleges, only the left pocket is used for foreign colleges.
