      Whether real or not, truthful or not, these veterans' plights and demands are all very clear indications of the systemic failure of Malaysia's Governmental policies - which were probably adapted from Mahathir's Malay Dilemma  and used as a guideline by Tun Razak to revamp Malaysia since1970. These cries are mere teardrops in the ocean, there will come a time when all Bumiputera in Malaysia will all cry buckets together and very outloud, again for all the very same things that these veterans cry for. Basically Malaysia is at the beginning of a failed state and the end results are trickling in and sufacing slowly. Veterans, Bumiputeras NGO's, Civil Service pensioners, Government supporters, etc., were all provided easy employment (armed forces, police, civil service, GLC, Petronas, etc.,) and given aids, assistance, automatic promotions, uplift, etc., throughout their lives, all served in a platter and what they are demanding is the continued services of these platters. They never had to work for their livelihoods or acquiring knowledge and skills while being temporarily employed. They were all given fish daily but were never taught how and why they had to continue become a lifetime fisherman to continue to survive. Such demands will never seize in Malaysia, well until affirmative policies are removed and Bumiputera learn and are taught proper skills of life. The leaders must think of a way to take candy away from these babies, ultimately for theirs and Malaysia's own good. Help the Malays all you want but not through preferential, affirmative and supremacist policies. Teach the people lifetime skills.

      Why was there no complaint when BN was in power for 60 years?

      Lim Yew Ming10:46 AM, 26 Jan 2019

      These so called veterans are no different from the inferior complex ' haram rasis jadahs ' or social liabilities. Sokong lah lagi ekor2 penyamun dari pihak BN@Bangsat2 Negara, bodoh !

      An entitled citizenry. Whatever happen to "ask not what the country can do for you but what you can do for the country" The superior race and religion demand freebies and attentions. When these people have already been allocated seats in the Universities and the standard are intentionally lowered to allow them to pass. Then they are provided jobs in the Government etc etc. Here comes these "Heroes" good only for dressing up for national day perade, crying for more. The whole bunch of defenders of Nation is being made a laughing stock of not being able to locate and bring to justice a handful of thieves. Go and do something useful fir a change instead of trying for more than more. Do you see other Malaysians doing this? No shame!

      Kalavathy a/l Muthukumaru05:51 AM, 25 Jan 2019

      This guys did not get or could not do anything when UMNO and BN was government.

      Saseendarran Raphael11:02 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      Apa lagi lu mau? You already hace all the benefits....but you spent all...so? Expect more goodies? No way.

      Calvin Leung08:42 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      Frankly speaking Mat Sabu performance is really below par. Upon appointment as a minister, there were news about him doing all trivials. Since then he's hiding without any news. Instead we saw his deputy had to make statements on important issues. A real let down!

      fkw07:42 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      I agree with Gokula Krishna and Sultan Mydin.The quality of writing and news reporting by Malaysiakini is definitely going down the drain.Frivolous and rubbish reporting!

      sathees jeevanathan kolandasamy07:38 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      You all supported Najib and BN. Now complaining. There is no money in the kitty lah guys. Everthing was sapu by Najib and the gang. Tak baca suratkhabar ke?

      Gojai Noar07:38 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      podah la

      Jocelyn Thum07:16 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      For 61 years, what did you do and what were you dopes doing supporting Najib. Suffer now. Take a number and wait.

      Jeff Lim07:11 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      This group should get the Field Marshal to talk with them instead of the Minister of Defence Then it’s sama sama pangkat Next time want to demo get all your members to dress up with your uniforms & titles & decorations Then ada stylo milo

      NB Sudhakaran07:03 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      I don't understand what the group wants.  What are the changes that it wants the Defense Ministry to apply?

      Justin Teoh06:45 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      umno black ops, similar to Isma

      azhari06:37 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      I think this group of moron wanted the government to offer them jobs like top executive or managers in all GLC instead of working as. Drivers or Security guards. For a start Malaysiakini can stop advertising their job vacancies and employ all this veterans.

      Peter Selvaraj A/L S Sockalingam06:32 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      Rubbish article by Malaysiakini !

      Narendran Permalu06:24 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      M kini Can you explain what we you mean when everything was gone or did they get paid or redeemed in full when finally retired

      Iswardy Tan bin Abdullah06:13 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      I have been a subscriber since Malaysiakini came on board many years ago. I am comtemplating of not renewing my subscription come this May. The issues or news highlighted and quality of reporting are getting from bad to worse. And if you factor in the atrocious use of English by some of the journalists these reports are not worth reading but fit for the bin.

      leong kwan pick06:10 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      Dear veterans I’m also a veteran it is sad that we were not given some benefits but why now what were you all did during the previous government ???

      06:09 PM, 25 Jan 2019

      A new group formed by Najib/Umno. Waste of time when it was Najib who cheated everyone, including veterans of the Army. But this new group is only is interested in politics and not the welfare of the veterans. It is so clear.
