Army to review SOP after personnel arrested with pistol, ammunition

The Malaysian Army is set to review its standard operating procedures (SOP) in the wake of the arrest of a serviceman found with a pistol, ammunition, and a liquid suspected to be ketum at a camp in Kuala Lumpur. Army Chief Gen Tan Sri Azhan Md Othman stated that the review is part of the army's continuous efforts to improve existing procedures and address any identified gaps.

While an SOP is already in place, the army is committed to ongoing improvement. The arrested individual, in his 30s, was undergoing a six-month transition training programme and was scheduled to complete his service in three months. He is currently detained at Sungai Buloh Prison for the trial process. The army has its own investigation protocols for handling cases involving its personnel to ensure all actions are taken in accordance with established regulations.
