In touch with his roots: Zafrani’s interest in military history has put him in touch with books and shows on war. He says it can help foster a sense of nationalism and remind us how difficult it was to free the country from colonial rule. — Bernama
KUALA LUMPUR: Zafrani Mohd Arifin quit his job as a bank officer after 23 years to devote more time to his lifelong interest in teaching the public about military history, in particular World War II (WWII) and the first Japanese force landing in Kelantan.
The fact that 52-year-old Zafrani is able to recount historical events of a past war based on sources he gathered from the field, interviews, and history books he studied makes him a point of reference for various parties.
