komen2 dari kengkawan kat Dubai:



"Maybe next time we can ask British Guard to provide our DYMM Agong'sceremonial guard as exchange..."



"Hmmm, mengingatkan kembali nostalgia penjajah..anak- anak watan yang dijajah dipanggil semula ke bumi penjajah.Penuh simbolik. Menjaga Raja empirialis yang pernah menjajah.."



"Janganlah kita terlalu angkuh umpama Malaysia ni dah maju sampai tak payah merendahkan diri (humble). Kalau RMR pergi guard kat palace tu, dapat dijadikan publisiti untuk mempromosikan sektor perlancongan kita, apakah salahnya? Hakikatnya, dan ia akan kekal dalam sejarah selama lamanya ialah Malaysia suatu ketika dulu merupakan sebuah negara di bawah jajahan Great Britain. Ini merupakan satu hakikat dan kita harus menerimanya. Tak payah rasa malu malu."



apa kata survey...??
more comments from kengkawan Dubai :
"I truly agree with you on this and my father was an ex-Army (butRanger la, masuk hutan tembak komunis during 60s-70s), hence due to its elite status I feel uncomfortable with the idea of RAMD performing ceremonial guard to the former Colonialist.
Always proud of Malaysian ARMY!"
"Each year, several Malaysian military cadets are been sent to various international military academies all over the world to enhance their skills i.e. Westpoint, Waiouru, Duntroon, Dehradun and also traditionally before all, Sandhurst in United Kingdom.
Annually, at least one cadet from Malaysia offered a place at Sandhurst for the gruelling 44 weeks course before being commission as 2nd Lieutenant in the Malaysian Army. Even former Agung,Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin also underwent training as a Cadet Officer in Sandhurst from January 1964 until December 1965.
Since the academy runs by the former colonialist"
"Yes, it should be differed..."
"Then it shall apply to other educational institutions situated there as well..."
