Warriors' Day Fund patron Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor said the move would be a symbol of respect and appreciation to all the sacrifices by the nation's warriors. "Veterans should be given priority, such as special lane when dealing at government offices, hospitals and the private sector, such as banks or airports.
"They need not have to queue and stand for hours to settle a certain matter," she said when speaking at the launching of the 2015 Warriors' Day Fund in Kuala Lumpur tonight.
She said the transport service should also give privileges to veterans, including discounts for air and bus tickets. Rosmah, who is the prime minister's wife, said the country needed to emulate the initiatives of developed countries such as the United States in the aspect of health, housing, community and employment needs for army veterans.
She said initiatives such as veteran entrepreneur, veteran home loan and others would make the country's veterans feel appreciated.
She also called on the Malaysian Armed Forces Veterans Association (PVATM) to be more creative and innovative in improving the livelihood of its members. "PVATM should diversify their roles and duties with various creative initiatives as implemented in developed countries," she said. In this regard, she said the 2015 Warriors' Day Fund is targeting to collect RM5 million. – Bernama, August 1, 2015.
