Malaysian Armed Forces Open Day
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009
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!
