LTAT Releases Touching Video In Conjunction With Warriors’ Day

KUALA LUMPUR, July 31 (Bernama) -- The Armed Forces Fund Board (LTAT) has produced a special short video titled ‘Atuk, Apa Tu?’ (Grandpa, What’s That?) in conjunction with the 2025 Warriors’ Day celebration.

The video is a tribute to the sacrifices of the national heroes in defending the country’s peace and sovereignty.

LTAT chief executive officer Mohammad Ashraf Md Radzi said the video highlights the true story of retired Royal Malay Regiment (RAMD) veteran Colonel (Rtd) Zulkifli Datuk Tahir, who lost his right leg after stepping on a landmine while leading the 9th Battalion RAMD reconnaissance platoon in an operation against communist insurgents in Gubir, Kedah, in 1986.

He said the short film is not just a historical record but also a symbol of gratitude and deep appreciation for the service and courage of Malaysian soldiers.

“This Warriors’ Day, we don’t just want to commemorate, we want every Malaysian to appreciate it.

“Through this short film, we express our appreciation to those who dared to walk into danger so that the rest of us could walk peacefully into the future,” he said in a statement today.

Mohammad Ashraf also pointed out that LTAT is not only responsible for planning sustainable retirements for Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) personnel but is also committed to ensuring their legacy, dignity, and service are continuously honoured.

“Colonel Zulkifli’s story reminds us that behind every uniform is a person, a family, and a future that was forever changed,” he said.

The 3-minute 31-second video was produced in collaboration with ATM and the Strategic Communications Unit of the Ministry of Defence through the Military Training Academy in Sungai Besi, Selangor.

The video can be viewed on LTAT’s official social media platforms.
