KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Army (TDM) continues to strengthen its engagement with the community through the National Defence Strategic Plan (PSPN) Central Zone Carnival 2026, held at Kampung Melayu Wira Damai, Gombak here today.
Chief of Staff of the Army Western Field Command Headquarters Maj Gen Datuk Norsham Md Tap said the programme, based on the One Stop Community Support concept, was organised to foster closer relations between the military and the community in line with the aspirations of the PSPN and the Malaysia MADANI framework.
“Through programmes like this, the military and the community can strengthen their relationship. At the same time, we bring together various agencies to provide services to the people,” he told reporters after officiating the carnival.
He said the programme reflected the Army’s role not only in national defence but also in supporting community well-being through collaboration with government agencies and related stakeholders.
Norsham also expressed appreciation to the Gombak District Office and the Selayang Municipal Council (MPS) for their cooperation in making the programme a success.
The carnival, themed “Tentera Turun Padang, Rakyat Jadi Senang” brought together a range of public services, assistance and community initiatives under one platform.
