Kota Kinabalu: A total of 35 public, private and media agencies and organisations took part in a shooting event organised by the Fifth Infantry Division (5th Division) at the Lok Kawi Camp pistol range here Tuesday. 

5th Division Commander Major General Datuk Noorrul Azril Ariffin said the annual event was held to appreciate the ongoing support and collaboration from the division’s strategic partners.

Participating agencies included the Sabah National Security Council (MKN), Kota Kinabalu City Hall (DBKK), Malaysian National News Agency (Bernama), Radio Televisyen Malaysia (RTM) and the Sabah Information Department.

“This platform helps strengthen ties between agencies and organisations in Sabah and recognises those who have supported our operational duties,” he told reporters after the event.

He said the division is also considering extending future invitations to retired military personnel, acknowledging their past contributions to national defence.

The programme began with a safety briefing and prayer, followed by 10- and 20-metre alignment drills and a 20-metre steel plate shooting competition.
