GEORGE TOWN: Despite his small build, the late Commander Muhammad Firdaus Ramli (pic) succeeded in living out his dream and walking tall as a pilot.

His mother Indon Hussin, 67, said he had always dreamt of flying a fighter jet, but due to his small physique, had joined the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) instead.
