ALOR GAJAH: The welfare of military veterans will still be given priority even if there are changes or adjustments in the provision of pensions to former members, especially those with small pension.

Deputy Defence Minister Adly Zahari said the government would look into several proposals after the Special Appreciation for Pensioners (PKKP) payout ends this December, so as not to affect the welfare of military veterans.
