The private sector should provide more second-career opportunities for military veterans to strengthen their welfare and empowerment, according to Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail, patron of the Warriors Fund Campaign. She emphasized the crucial role the private sector plays in enabling military veterans to continue contributing to society after leaving the Malaysian Armed Forces.
Dr Wan Azizah called on more parties to support the Kempen Tabung Pahlawan and veteran associations under the MAF Veterans' Affairs Department. She stressed that every sen contributed will directly benefit the welfare and wellbeing of national heroes. At the closing ceremony of the MyHeroes Golf Championship Cup 2026, organized by the Royal Malaysian Navy Veterans' Association, a total of RM220,000 was raised from eight private companies, reinforcing the program's role as a fundraising platform for military veterans' welfare.
Dr Wan Azizah, also representing Bandar Tun Razak MP, affirmed the government's ongoing commitment to safeguarding veterans' welfare and advancing their empowerment agenda. She noted that Kempen Tabung Pahlawan's contributions have shown positive growth and are used to support thousands of veterans and their dependents with livelihood assistance, medical care, and education for their children.
