23 APRIL 2026 | MITEC: Beyond the figures lies the story of children raised in families dedicated to safeguarding the nation's security.

Through the DSA & NATSEC Asia Graduate Fund, a total of 48 underprivileged UPNM students have received financial assistance for the 2025/2026 Academic Session.

The symbolic cheque presentation was made to the Vice-Chancellor of UPNM, Lt Gen Datuk Wira Arman Rumaizi bin Hj Ahmad, during the Closing Ceremony of DSA & NATSEC Asia 2026, witnessed by the Minister of Defence, YB Dato’ Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin.

For the recipients, this aid is more than just financial support; it is an inspiration to move forward, carrying the hopes of families who consistently sacrifice for the country.

This is not merely a contribution, but a legacy passed from those who protect the nation to the generation that will inherit that responsibility.
