KUANTAN, Sept 4 — After more than 43 years in service, Chief of Defence Forces General Tan Sri Affendi Buang will hand over the baton of the number one defence post to the new army chief, General Tan Sri Mohammad Ab Rahman, on Wednesday.
“I accept my retirement with an open heart and am pleased that I have succeeded in continuing the legacy of my previous leadership role and providing my successor with a good foundation for the future. The ceremony was also attended by Royal Malaysian Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Abdul Rahman Ayob and Royal Malaysian Air Force Chief General Tan Seri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan.
He also reminded MAF to always plan, monitor and evaluate long-term strategies with great care so as not to fall into the hollow force syndrome.
