I have spoken to the head of human resource at army HQ, and will soon be speaking to the other two services. Certainly, PERHEBAT and LTAT plays a vital role in this regards, and with the new PERHEBAT Chairman, surely something better can be done for our ex-servicemen.Mohd Arshad Rajihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280406045497460630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-79042972439118056952009-04-19T12:35:00.000+08:002009-04-19T12:35:00.000+08:00Soldiers of this country is used and left to fend ...Soldiers of this country is used and left to fend for themselves..period !<br /><br />At 18 yrs old you sign up serve the King and country for 21-22 yrs as an OR.<br /><br />After that it is your own business!<br /><br />At 40-45yrs old think carefully what are his choices ? <br /><br />Worst off, if he is a foot soldier an infantryman! <br /><br />What trade does he has? <br /><br />Technically and specialist courses are limited to a few, not all!<br /><br />Brother officers, please face realities of this world, we are in a different pool..!<br /><br />A soldier retires and need to feed his kids, school them, and meet all daily needs.Is it enough with the high cost now?

I fully ...Your article has really touched my heart. I fully understand your sentiments as an ex-soldier but how many organisations and citizens in this country share the same feelings and commit themselves to assist the retired military? The answer.... very few!<br /><br />I suppose this is the prize we have to pay when living in a peaceful country where the services of those brave ones are seldom appreciated and remembered!<br /><br />In our small organisation we have an ex-army sargeant who has four school going kids, an ex-army Regimental Sargeant Major and two retired Majors, all jobless before joining. They are well trained, good disciplined and very loyal citizens. I have the same question, " why such a precious group of very well trained and displined people have not been employed before?" <br /><br />How I wish the government takes positive steps to ensure that these retired soldiers, seamen and airmen who have sacrificed their lives for the country are not neglected.<br /><br />MINDEF needs to "synchronise" the plans and activities of Jabatan Hal Ehwal Veteran, LTAT, PERHEBAT and PBTM in making sure they go for the common objective of getting majority of ex-military employed.<br /><br />Let us show our appreciation for their sacrifices to the country and offer our "thank you" to them.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221484800062488881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-8811664343366800722009-04-19T10:50:00.000+08:002009-04-19T10:50:00.000+08:00Part of the problem is on the issue of their own c...Part of the problem is on the issue of their own choice rather than of government policy. <br /><br />Many choose lesser demanding jobs because they do not want any responsibility when they are out of the Armed Forces.<br /><br />For example, I was told the average earning of a taxi driver in KL is between RM1,500-RM2,000.For the RQMS, together with his RM1,000 pension, he would be earning between RM2,500-RM3,000.00 a month.The amount is perhaps adequate for his needs with free medical care provided by the government for him and his family.So why go for more demanding jobs when it is not really that neccesary?<br /><br />I agree LTAT could do more to optimize the potential of ex-servicemen to be successful owners of small entreprises.mauricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03683620510088068290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-71663427109412747472009-04-18T23:14:00.000+08:002009-04-18T23:14:00.000+08:00PERHEBAT has to revisit its stretegic objectives; ...PERHEBAT has to revisit its stretegic objectives; train and prepare ex-servicemen to be marketable in the job market;and to servive in the civilian environment.elihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15181660309867088342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7108577687673016887.post-88750092606894903842009-04-18T18:54:00.000+08:002009-04-18T18:54:00.000+08:00I wonder f u'll be surprised that many of the serv...I wonder f u'll be surprised that many of the serving SNCOs that i knew of are taxi drivers after office hours.mangchiklahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596157251315454282noreply@blogger.com
