A tale of Malaysian integrity at its best

I FEEL compelled to share a wonderful experience in integrity I recently had at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA2).

I spent two years (from 2016 to 2017) in South Korea as a senior Malaysian Army officer, attending the National Security Course at the Korean National Defence University (KNDU). My time in Korea was most fruitful and I experienced wonderful Korean hospitality, a highly efficient transport system, and the emphasis on respect for elders that Korean society still maintains. Above all, Koreans pride themselves on being punctual, respecting the environment, and most importantly, on displaying integrity in all aspects of every day life. My experiences with all these remain vivid in my memory, and throughout my stay there I made many good friends.
