Two Malaysians accepted into top US military schools

KUALA LUMPUR: From Malaysia to the elite halls of West Point and Annapolis, two young Malaysians are charting a course into the United States’ premier military academies, turning
years of ambition and passion into major achievements.

Luthfil Haikal Haswadi and Rakis Ruhaim Abdul Rahman have earned coveted places at the US Military Academy in New York and the US Naval Academy in Maryland, respectively.

For 19-year-old Luthfil, it all began with a spark. Raised in Dungun, Terengganu, his interest in military history, strategy and geopolitics ignited at just 12.

He devoured books on war and revolutionary technology, eventually setting his sights on West Point.

That vision shaped his path through school, where he earned 9A+s in SPM, emerged as valedictorian at MRSM Pendang, received the MRSM Academic Excellence Award 2023 and achieved
a flawless 4.0 CGPA in foundation studies in Engineering and Technology.

He even turned down an offer from Japan’s National Defence Academy to pursue what he called a “deeper dream” at West Point.

Now a first-year cadet studying Operations Research and Data Science at Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia, Luthfil also stays active through football, swimming, kayaking and national-level debating.



Both will have good chance to become generals

How many wars has America lost?

Well, Korea was a draw. Vietnam was a loss, Laos loss, Cambodia a loss, Afghanistan definitely a loss, Iraq got kicked out so that was a loss in the long run, Syria America got kicked out by Turkey, so that counts as a loss.

US military is overrated.
the objective of the training is that future high ranking officers will side with the US.
