KUALA LUMPUR: It was a rare honour as four Malaysian cadets beat thousands of applicants worldwide for the go-ahead to “march” into prestigious military academies in the United States.

National Defence University of Malaysia graduates Muhammad Salihin Mohd Sabri and M. Sayniish Pillay, both aged 19, and Malaysian Royal Military College (RMC) graduates Ahmad Yusuf Ahmad Azani, 18, and Wan Kamal Fitri Wan Kamal Baharein, 19, have been hailed by the US Embassy for their achievement.
