KUALA LUMPUR: The National Service Training Programme (PLKN) may only begin in two years’ time and not next year as there was no allocation for it in Budget 2024, says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.
“If we want to use army camps for this, we need to upgrade all 13 camps nationwide. The ministry will study the implementation mechanism together with stakeholders before it is finalised and implemented. So, PLKN may only begin in 2025,” he said in his Budget 2024 winding-up speech at the committee stage yesterday.
