Students Fly in Style as They Take a 3-Hour Flight Back to Kota Kinabalu on a Military Plane in Time for Raya!
Ramadan is here and that means Hari Raya is right around the corner! So its the perfect time for students to head back home and start preparing for the celebration!
In a recent video posted by user @grlcloud, she and her fellow college mates are seen heading back home to Sabah on a military plane.
UPNM students returns to their hometowns for Raya
Speaking to WORLD OF BUZZ, Dayang shared how she and her collegemates are students from Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia (UPNM), Kuala Lumpur.
She also explained that the flight arranged by @persisupnm and @mppupnm, is an initiative by UPNM to assist students in returning to their hometowns for Raya.
3-hour flight back to Kota Kinabalu
Dayang continued to share how it’s open to students who apply for the flight proposed by MppUPNM.
The students of UPNM, are one of the branches of collaboration with the Ministry of Defence, so their Vice-Chancellor of UPNM, Lt. Gen. Datuk Mardzuki Muhammad, officially requested the PTU for the flight back to Sabah.
Dayang mentioned that the flight from Subang takes about 3 hours to Kota Kinabalu. And she mentioned how flying on a military plane is a bit different from the usual commercial flights, which adds to the whole experience for the students.
Thank you, MppUPNM!
This marks the second consecutive year that Dayang and other students have had the opportunity to return home via the chartered air service for Raya.
“You can easily catch glimpses of clouds passing by. That’s because the A400M aircraft has a limited number of windows and can accommodate only a certain number of passengers,” she added.
She then extends her sincere gratitude and appreciation to MppUPNM and UPNM Vice-Chancellor, Lt. Gen. Datuk Mardzuki Muhammad, for their initiatives.
