PGB Holder Now JF COS

Maj Jen Khairul Anuar Abdul Aziz inspecting the guard of honour for the handing over ceremony. Note that his PGB medal is now on the right side of his ribbon. On top of his right pocket is the Condor badge, signifying his mechanized roots and on the left is the Senjata Bantuan badge, meaning he was qualified in support weapons. Further down the pocket is the Armed Forces Staff college badge and a China staff academy college on the left pocket of his bush jacket or the Army number 2 uniform. The badges meant he had graduated from them. He has also a Thai parachute wing on top of his name tag likely awarded to him when he was the 30th Brigade commander. The brigade is responsible for Malaysian-Thai border from Perlis to Kelantan. JF Picture

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.

Khairul Anuar was awarded with Pingat Gagah Berani, the country’s second highest gallantry award for the Bakara Market incident in Somalia. He is the highest-ranking decorated serviceman following the retirement of SP holder, Deputy Commissioner Abdul Razak Yusof in February 2023. Khairul Anuar became the highest decorated soldier when Fifth Division commander Mej Jeneral Abdul Halim Khalid retired in June 2022. Abdul Halim received the PGB for his action in the Benadir court incident in Somalia, just weeks before the Bakara market one.
