Navy chief retires after 41 years of service


Plain sailing: Abdul Aziz, accompanied by his wife Puan Sri Sarah Tun Ab Ghafar, giving a final salute during his farewell ceremony at the Defence Ministry. He is being succeeded by Ahmad Kamarulzaman (inset).

After 41 years – seven of which was spent helming TLDM – Laksamana Abdul Aziz is finally “sailing off” into retirement.
