  "summary": "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. The Cyber Force aims to complement the existing Army, Navy, and Air Force, as modern warfare has evolved beyond traditional battlefields, with security threats increasingly taking non-traditional and hybrid forms.",
