PUTRAJAYA: The Cabinet has approved a proposal to turn the People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) into a government agency, as well as its insignia and new rank titles, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
Speaking at the launch of the Rela flag-waving campaign ahead of the independence day, he hoped the upgrading of Rela to the status of a department would inject a new spirit into Rela members.
