JOHOR: The Director of the Army Air Unit (PUTD), Brig Gen Yazid Yusuf explained that every PUTD officer and personnel is required to maintain the level of skills or standards that have been set at all times and adhere to every procedure and rules that lead to the ethics of their respective assignments.

“All PUTD personnel need to reflect and evaluate themselves and ask themselves, are we professional enough or just follow the flow and work just to have enough time.

“We need to always strengthen the union and work together as a team towards the same target and use the planning that has been set to achieve the desired objectives.

“Besides that, always respect each other whether the government or the rule because the responsibilities and trust that need to be borne not only need to be answered while in the world but what is important when there later,” said the Director of PUTD.

The PUTD Director said this during his speech at the 26th PUTD Anniversary Parade (HUT) at the PUTD 881 Regiment Area Dispersal Parade Ground on 11 March 2021.

He added that if there is no honesty, no integrity, no seriousness in carrying out the tasks received, they are not eligible to remain in this organization.

In addition, the Director of PUTD also called on all PUTD staff to be ready to make changes or ready to change to ensure that PUTD remains relevant, effective and always agile as a dynamic team capable of being a multiplayer force to TD.

The Director of PUTD also expressed his appreciation and hoped that the people of PUTD would continue to be committed, enthusiastic and viable in order to elevate PUTD into a team that is respected, revered and emulated by the team of friends and feared by the opponents.

Scanning the history of PUTD, this team was officially established on 11 March 1995 at the Air Base, Kluang and was officiated by Dato’ Seri Mohammad Najib Tun Abdul Razak as the then Minister of Defence.

Since that historic moment, PUTD has grown rapidly and now has two teams namely the 881 PUTD Regiment and the PUTD 882 Regiment Nucleus Team.

PUTD has also operated several types of aircraft, namely the Alloute MK III, A109 LOH and S61A-4 Nuri TD while the MD530-G aircraft will enter the PUTD inventory this year.
