King conveys 91st anniversary wishes to Malaysian Army

KUALA LUMPUR, March 1 — His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim, King of Malaysia, has conveyed greetings to all Malaysian Army personnel and veterans and those who have served the military branch in conjunction with its 91st anniversary today (March 1).

His Majesty expressed appreciation to Army personnel for protecting the country’s sovereignty and for their sacrifices, regardless of time, in safeguarding the people’s safety.

As the Supreme Commander of the Malaysian Armed Forces, Sultan Ibrahim also commended and expressed deep appreciation for the services and sacrifices made by all present and former Army personnel.

“Al-Fatihah for those who have left us. May their souls be placed among the believers and martyrs.

“All their services and sacrifices cannot be measured with any amount of money,” said the King in a Facebook post today.

Army Day is celebrated on March 1 every year to strengthen the unity of its personnel and forge closer relationships with the community, in addition to remembering the sacrifices of those who fought to maintain Malaysia’s sovereignty.
