Life on the line: Ielias (bottom) recalling his younger days serving as a reservist (left).

IELIAS Ibrahim is a 60-year-old man who spends most of his time educating youngsters and promoting Malaysians to join the military reserve force or Wataniah.

“Our country needs more reser­vists. Participation from all ethnicities in the country will not only ensure the safety of the nation but also instil patriotism among the citizens,” he said.
