National Service Here I Come

Faris our eldest left for the National Service Program this morning. He was among the 100,000 school leavers chosen to undergo the two and a half month program. He will be in his camp in Miri Sawarak until March 11^th 2007.

The program or better known as Program Latihan Khidmat Negara (PLKN) was first introduced in 2003. The rationale for National Service was to bond the youth of Malaysia together and create a Malaysian nation.

Objectives of the PLKN

• Develop a young generation who are patriotic and with love for their country


• Enhance unity among the multi-racial communities in the country


• Instill a spirit of caring and volunteerism among society


• Produce an active, intelligent and confident generation


• Develop positive characteristics among the younger generation through good values
