PETALING JAYA: The defence ministry has clarified recent reports on the age limit for national service training programme (PLKN) trainees being up to 35.

In a statement, the ministry said trainees will be called up according to their year of birth, and that only teenagers will be enrolled when the programme commences again.“For example, if PLKN is implemented in 2024, then only teens born in the year 2007 will be called up to participate in the programme.

The age limit is not new as the National Service Training Act passed in 2003 had already stipulated that trainees are to be between the ages of 16 and 35. The programme had been criticised by various quarters in the past, and was abolished by the former Pakatan Harapan government in 2018. Daily Express Malaysia
