The uniformed personnel carry on their shoulders the responsibility of maintaining the security and sovereignty of the nation.
The police play no lesser role in upholding the law, maintaining peace and securing the prosperity of the nation. They form the backbone of law and order in the country.
The contribution and importance of the Fire and Rescue Services is also significant as they also put their lives on the line in rescuing people and saving properties.
The voluntary uniformed personnel, such as the Red Crescent, Scouts and even uniformed cadets play an important role in community affairs and development.
These associations play an important role in moulding the youths to be responsible and caring individuals with good character and in times of need, these associations always lend a helping hand to society.
