SUNGAI BULOH: Up to 5,000 Armed Forces veterans have been targeted to receive job placements by 2030 through the Lindung Kerjaya MyFutureJobs Wira programme, says Human Resources Minister R. Ramanan. “Our goal is not only to ensure job opportunities but to empower our veterans to obtain dignified wages in line with their expertise and discipline. Ramanan described the MOU as a clear and operational framework ensuring all veterans have access to job opportunities and social security. Khaled said the collaboration between Perhebat, JHEV and PERKESO will further develop a comprehensive ecosystem that connects veterans strategically through career mapping that is based on the veteran’s locality and industry. He said the initiative also aligns with the Defence Ministry’s objectives through the National Defence Industry Policy and Perhebat Transformation Plan 2026-2035 that prioritises empowering veterans to achieve a second career.
