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.
