He said the association will work with the Education Ministry on the programme and hopes its minister Dr Maszlee Malek, would give the green light on the matter.

Hussin said he would meet Maszlee soon to discuss the implementation of the programme.

he adds that the association would also invite several former Police personnel who are members of the association to impart their experience in fighting the communist insurgency to school students.

At present, Hussin said there were 140,000 former policemen nationwide who are members of the association, including those who had fought against the communists.
