PETALING JAYA: The transformation of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and its development must go hand in hand in forming a credible air force of the future, says Yang di-Pertuan Agong Al-Sultan Abdullah Ri’ayatuddin Al-Mustafa Billah Shah.

His Majesty said the role of the RMAF as the main pillar in defending the country’s airspace was likened to a shield that protects the people and the country’s prosperity.
