the maximum number that Dewan Perdana Felda can accommodate.

DYMM Raja Perlis has confirmed his royal presence together with DYMM Raja Perempuan Perlis.

We are yet to get confirmation on the royal presence of SPB Yang DiPertuan Agong

and SPB Raja Permaisuri Agong and the attendance of the other dignitaries.

Your Reunion Dinner Sub-Committee, chaired by Mej Dato’ Haji Mohd Said bin Harun, (Bersara)

(FMC Regular Intake 10, ex-Engr) is making the necessary preparations to ensure that the

Reunion Dinner will not be just another “kenduri kahwin”, since it will be held at Dewan Perdana Felda.

It will be an enjoyable and memorable one - a night for us to reminisce the good old days,

to acquaint anew and to renew the bond of friendship and esprit-de-corps amongst us.

The Secretariat has sent the letters requesting for payment to those who have indicated their interest to attend the dinner.

Please send your payment to confirm your attendance otherwise your seat (s) may be given to some other retired officers.

Please note that we have sent the reunion circulars to more than 3,500 retired officers from the three Services and we expect

a good turnout. As such we will only confirm your seat (s) and send you the invitation card (s) after your payment.

Seating will be by Intakes/Service/Corps/Regiments or other grouping.
