C21 at Negeri Sembilan

I had the opportunity to volunteer at a kindergarten in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, where I contributed to improving the space for the children. Our team painted vibrant murals on the walls, adding a cheerful atmosphere to the environment. We also mopped the floors and swept the entire area to maintain cleanliness. One of the most rewarding parts of the experience was spending time with the children, engaging with them through games and activities, and witnessing their joy and curiosity. It was a fulfilling project that combined physical effort with meaningful interactions, leaving a positive impact on the community.

National Service

• During these 2 years of National Service, my company and I played an integral role in securing the Best Combat Unit award for the 21st consecutive year, achieving Redcon 1 status, the highest attainable grade any military unit can earn.
• I also represented the Commando Formation at multiple events, notably as the Guard of Honour at National Day Parade 2024 and the SAF Day Parade 2024.
• In recognition of my leadership abilities, I was awarded the Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM) coin and the NDP Super Star Award Certificate of Excellence.
