Veterans call for Perlis-Thai wall

Boots on the ground: PVATTBM says the border’s thick jungle presents a serious combat risk.

KANGAR: The Non-Pensionable Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association (PVATTBM) has urged the government to rush the building of a border wall along the Malaysian-Thai border in Perlis and Kedah to combat smugglers.

Its president Datuk Ismail Abidin said construction of the wall was the best solution to reduce the risk of Malaysian security personnel being exposed to the threat of being shot by smugglers.
