KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Abdul Halim Abdul Rahim has created history and done the country proud by being the first Malaysian to lead a company of 120 cadets at the prestigious United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

By no means an easy feat, it was a task he undertook with commitment and dedication in his final year at the academy.The newly minted graduate with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering entered the army academy as a 19 year old.

"There were many challenges, especially in dealing with teammates… their temperaments and personalities, so I often relied on my seniors and officers for advice,” the 23-year-old told Bernama. Abdul Halim pointed out that the fast-paced experience during basic military exercises conducted every summer from May to August were also demanding and had toughened him.

He added that one of his most memorable experiences was in producing the"Autonomous Drone Delivery via Airdrop System" as a final year project aimed at supplying the military with special equipment over a short period of time.
