Malaysian Armed Forces Open Day
Mmm…this is something I shouldn’t missed. With that, me and friend headed towards ‘Dataran Merdeka’ where this was held on 31st Jan 2009. Well, I would say, this is not new, I remember they had it many times before, but it’s the 1st time I went myself.
Briefly, there’s nothing much new thing to see, except that you have a chance to be up close and personal with the officers, be it regular infantry soldier or special forces (Gerakhas, PASKAL, PASKAU etc). It was fun to get a static ride on the APC, tank (?) and jeep. Chances to get hold on metal M4, M16, SMG, Barret Sniper rifles etc is a good opp esp for 1st timer. One thing though, I doubt they show all the latest and best arsenal in their inventory for obvious reason!
Do you know that PASKAL uniform is exactly the same camo as being used by US Navy SEAL?? See for yourself from below link
Enuff said, here is the pics from the day! Hari_Terbuka_ATM
