Legal action under the National Service Training Act 2003 will only be taken as a last resort, as the government is prepared to consider the reasons behind a trainee’s absence, says Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari.
Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday (July 24), Adly said the ministry’s current priority is to raise awareness about the National Service 3.0 (PLKN 3.0) programme and to take into account all possible factors that may prevent trainees from attending.
