Perlis Royal Daughter Completes Reserve Soldier Training

Sharifah Farah Adriana, the second daughter of the Raja Muda of Perlis, has successfully completed a two-week basic volunteer reserve soldier training course at Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP). The 25-year-old, who holds degrees in Business Administration and International Business, participated in the course from June 7 to 20.

Her graduation underscores the principle that national defense is a collective responsibility, requiring participation from all societal strata. The involvement of a royal family member also sends a message about cultivating nationalistic spirit irrespective of one's status or background.

The closing ceremony was presided over by the Raja Muda of Perlis, Brigadier General Tuanku Syed Faizuddin Putra Jamalullail. He stated that the Territorial Army Regiment will continue its mission to recruit, train, and maintain the readiness of its members. He elaborated on the concept of mobilization, emphasizing that recruitment is not just about numbers but about ensuring the right personnel are available when needed.

Tuanku Syed Faizuddin stressed the importance of quality training for seamless integration with the regular army and the need to maintain constant readiness for potential force augmentation. He noted that these efforts are crucial for the strength of the Army in facing security challenges. The Raja Muda also pledged to intensify promotional efforts for the Territorial Army to attract more healthy young individuals who meet the minimum requirements to contribute to national sovereignty.
