About 60% of armed forces veterans get jobs due to Perhebat programme

SUNGAI BULOH: Some 60% of the 6,851 retired armed forces veterans who completed transitional training programmes under the Ex-Serviceman Affairs Corporation (Perhebat) last year have successfully secured careers, says Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

While the numbers were encouraging, the Defence Minister said there was a need to better understand why there were those in the programme who had yet to begin careers upon retiring from the armed forces.
