CAPTAIN Dr Faiz Khaleed has been promoted to the rank of major with immediate effect. Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the decision was made after discussions with Chief of Defence Forces Gen Tan Sri Abdul Aziz Zainal.
"We agreed that Dr Faiz deserves it. He has performed very well in the Angkasawan programme and has proven that he can contribute his experiences to the nation."
He said Dr Faiz would be an icon for the youth and would be speaking to students on the programme and space technology.
Dr Faiz said he was taken by surprise by the announcement.
