I have extensive flying experience in military operations which consisted of troop

deployment, troop resupply, evacuation of injured military personnel from forward locations, medical evacuation of military personnel and civilians, search and rescue operations and the carriage of VVIPs/VIPs.

As a Flying Instructor, I have trained numerous military pilots from all 3 services who are today holding high posts in military and private flying institutions. I also had the opportunity to be the Commandant (Principal) of the RMAF’s Helicopter Flying Training Base in Kluang, Johor and the Commanding Officer of RMAF Base Subang, Selangor during my service career.

Of particular mention are: Search and Rescue (SAR) Course at the United States Coast Guard (USCG) SAR School in Governor’s Island, New York, USA; Qualified Helicopter Flying Instructor’s Course at Royal Air Force Base Shawbury, United Kingdom; Flying Supervisors’ Course at Royal Air Force College Cranwell, United Kingdom; Command and Staff College at Royal New Zealand Air Force Base Auckland, New Zealand; Steven Covey’s ‘Seven Habits of Highly Effective People’ at Kuala Lumpur; Management and Total Quality Management (TQM) courses at INTAN, Kuala Lumpur; Defence College Course at Malaysian Armed Forces Defence College, Kuala Lumpur and Pacific Air Doctrine Symposium at USAF Air Base Anderssen, Guam.
