Career Talk at Royal Military College

Had another career talk at RMC. It's been difficult to secure slots for OPs this year. It has been equally challenging to find volunteers. Despite all these issues, we finally had one session today. Took some photos of Sungai Besi town and RMC. These might turn out to be a classic collection in years to come because of the possible relocation of RMC. I got a bit emotional today hence all the snapping. Dad said RMC should be in a better shape with the new location; fully equipped with upgraded and more resilient infrastructure against typical budak boy vandalism and most importantly unlimited supply of water. I argued about the power lines and why NDU is claiming our spot. In the end, seniors normally win debates. Juniors get on the ground and take 20 push-ups.

The default hang out place for PPs and OPs alike has been standing at the same corner for years.

In the middle of Sungai besi town. Hasn't changed an inch since we left in 96.

As you approach the guard house, the sign "University Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia" stands out like a sore thumb. The sign "Maktab Tentera Diraja" is on the left side and is still there.
The fields on both side of the road are now properties of UPNM.

This is now the unofficial 'border' between UPNM and RMC.
