Brigadier General Datuk Abd Razak Sipit has been appointed as the head of the armed forces Cyber Force Nucleus Team, marking a significant step towards establishing the country's fourth military service by 2030. The appointment was made by Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin during the 14-member team's launch at the 93rd Armed Forces Day celebrations.
