JOHOR BAHRU - The Sultan of Johor Sultan Ibrahim Almarhum Sultan Iskandar today said the leadership of the Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) needs to place a special emphasis and focus on the high-tech equipment for the Special Forces Regiment.

Sultan Ibrahim, who is the Colonel Commandant of the Special Forces Group (GGK), said this was to ensure that the regiment would continue to be able to carry out its duties and missions.

"Therefore, I hope that the MAF leadership will continue to give priority to ownership and acquisition in the future," said His Majesty in conjunction with the 58th anniversary celebration of the Special Forces Regiment at Iskandar camp, Mersing.
