Its revamped format reflects evaluations of earlier iterations of the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3314475734161595\" data-ad-slot=\"7610079946\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The goal is clear: to develop a new generation instilled with patriotism, strong moral values, unity, and a spirit of volunteerism. Additionally, the program aims to cultivate interest among youth in military careers and contribute to national development,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He clarified that PLKN 3.0 is not solely a military basic training program but also includes a National Module focusing on identity, love for the country, and unity. This distinguishes it from compulsory military service in other nations, which emphasizes active military participation over longer durations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"\/\/cauliflowertoaster.com\/593769d30c3301892527b9b6c9c118e7\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\n<div id=\"container-593769d30c3301892527b9b6c9c118e7\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Defence is taking steps to address weaknesses in previous PLKN implementations. Trial runs and pilot projects will begin in Territorial Army Camps (Kem Askar Wataniah) in January 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce costs, the program will utilize existing facilities at 13 Territorial Army Camps, 20 public universities, teacher training institutes (IPGs), and polytechnics nationwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Minister emphasized that cultivating patriotism and strong national identity among youth is not a secondary matter but a critical component of nation-building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Parliamentary Select Committee (JKPK) has recommended cancelling PLKN 3.0, arguing that the program lacks clear objectives and measurable targets. The committee criticized its high costs relative to the limited positive outcomes, suggesting that similar results could be achieved through existing educational programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the criticism, Mohamed Khaled defended the program, asserting its necessity in addressing current challenges and its role in fostering unity, patriotism, and national resilience among young Malaysians.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KUALA LUMPUR \u2013 The government has decided to implement the National Service Training Program (PLKN) 3.0 based on comprehensive and in-depth research, with a new concept and format.
