The retired three-star army general, who for a while studied and grew up in Kuala Lumpur, said it was like revisiting his childhood days.for me. Kuala Lumpur reminds me of my younger days where I went to school and grew up here,” said Prabowo, 68, who studied at Victoria Institution in Jalan Hang Tuah.
Prabowo said he had been given a mandate by Indonesian President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo to ensure that dynamic bilateral ties concerning defence and security with Malaysia were a top priority and enhanced further. Much of it, he said, could be done through the General Border Committee Meeting, Straits of Melaka Patrol and Trilateral Cooperative Arrangement involving the Philippines.
“For instance, both countries operate the Hercules C-130 transport aircraft and Sukhoi fighter jets. We can optimise our resources for greater operability, including in matters related to foreign investments.” Former Indonesian army commando-turned-politician Prabowo was given a ceremonial welcome. He inspected a guard-of-honour mounted by three officers and 103 other ranks led by Major Mohd Izham Ahmad Rashidi from the First Battalion Royal Malay Regiment at the Defence Ministry in Jalan Padang Tembak here.
