we receive this message through WAG and have a heaty discussion on this matter.
The Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) is currently conducting a survey on National Service Training Program (PLKN). The purpose is to obtain feedback from the general public on the re-implementation of National Service Training Program (PLKN) in order to meet the objectives of training and Act 628 National Service Training.

The first thing government must decide, either this is military national service training or youth training for nation-building. From point of view on youth training for nation-building and Military National Service is totally different. National Service Training for a country like Malaysia is good so that there is NO requirement for over-sized armed forces. However, the concept, planning, and execution must be right and never repeat previous PLKN mistakes. The initial PLKN training was a big failure. It was later incorporated into the NBOS program & was suspended for 1 year in 2015 to allow an in-depth study & recommend a way forward. They came out with PLKN 2.0 to target school dropouts & implemented it in 2016. The focus was on vocational/technical training. It was another failure & the PH govt rightfully terminated it in 2018.
We don't need Military National Service, especially for Malaysia. Ensure we are well equipped & good management of MAF assets. No need for a huge MAF. Support a National Youth Training program as a school extra-curriculum programme. No need PLKN, it waste of money. Channel money to school instead... cheaper, cost-effective & more can be trained on multicultural teamwork, junior leadership, inculcate integrity & loyalty to the nation for nation-building objectives.
Mindef needs to rethink & address the failures of PLKN.
Believe it. or not , we spent rm 700 mil annually to enrich some for nothing.
what do we hope to achieve from the three months course?
Channel this Rm 700m to schools, more effective to change mindsets to benefit nation building. Even those passed out from university PALAPES as officers are missing. They are supposed to be the reservists too. They have brains and skills after they start working, they can be an asset for our MAF if the training continues for them annually.
Alternatively, we could do it during school holidays
in the existing Military camps. We already have a reserve provision in the AFA72
to utilize. Do not allow the Mindef civilians to engage in this project as they
will create benefit for themselves as what they did to the previous PLKN
before.
They promote themselves to be bosses in the organization where they
can't even walk properly and became the supremo of PLKN and having fun making
soldiers and veterans as their balacis.
It should be given to JPP to organize it and headed by a
General. Veterans could be utilised as instructors which helps to create as 2nd
job for them. It should be made as part of defense plan for the nation, not a
place where trainees learn how to sing dangdut. Military training disguise as
national service benefits all

The program should be prolonged to 6 months, and the graduate from PLKN should be given priority for admission to IPTS.
