Siti Nurhaliza to join Territorial Army

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia's pop diva Datuk Siti Nurhaliza Taruddin is expected to join the Territorial Army soon, according to Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.

He said singer Jaclyn Victor, who won the inaugural Malaysian Idol, and television personality Maznah Zolkifli had also given indication that they would follow suit.

“Siti Nurhaliza has agreed to join the Territorial Army with the support from her husband. I will also invite several actors to join the team,” he said after presenting excellent service awards to National Service Training Department staff at the ministry yesterday.

During the ceremony, he also conferred the rank of Honorary Colonel on department director-general Datuk Abdul Hadi Awang Kechil.

Ahmad Zahid said those who joined the Territorial Army would be requested to undergo 39 hours of training a year before they could be commissioned as junior officers. - Bernama
