The Malaysian Army pledges firm action on misconduct, with internal investigations and enhanced integrity measures following viral social media allegations.
KUALA LUMPUR: The new leadership of the Malaysian Army has declared a zero-tolerance policy towards misconduct among all personnel.
This firm stance follows viral social media posts alleging an unhealthy culture within the military, which sparked negative public perception.
The army’s headquarters stated it will conduct internal investigations into all complaints received.
Firm action will be taken in line with service regulations and existing laws if any wrongdoing is proven.
Commanders at all units, formations, and training centres will implement continuous enforcement and reminders.
These measures include ongoing monitoring to curb integrity issues and immoral activities.
As a preventive step, the army is strengthening moral education and integrity awareness at all levels.
It is also intensifying religious and spiritual activities to foster professional values and disciplined character.
The leadership remains committed to maintaining the institution’s trust and respect through high integrity.
This commitment is upheld in the interest of national security and sovereignty.
The Ministry of Defence had earlier directed the Armed Forces to probe allegations of outsiders and immoral activities in camps.
