  "summary": "In its 93rd year, the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) continues to prioritize the welfare of its personnel, families, and veterans, said Chief of Defence Forces Gen Tan Sri Malek Razak Sulaiman. The MAF has been strengthening ties with the public and expanding defence diplomacy at various levels, with Asean being a key focus. The celebration of the MAF's 93rd anniversary, themed \"Ketahanan ATM, Benteng Pertahanan Negara\" (MAF Resilience, The Defence Bulwark), reflects the MAF's commitment to strengthening readiness, developing capabilities, and adapting to the changing security environment. This year's event featured a public carnival, a Combat Parade, and the launch of several initiatives and strategic documents aimed at advancing the MAF's transformation efforts.",
