KUALA LUMPUR: The Army must continue to be a credible force in protecting the country’s sovereignty and national interests, said Army Chief General Datuk Seri Mohammad Ab Rahman.

He said the need has now become increasingly pressing, especially with the fragile situation of the complex demarcation of the international boundary and the position of Malaysia’s two mainland regions separated by the South China Sea.
