According to Mad Zain, he had picked up the trick before joining the army and when he was recruited into the service in 2003, it became a platform for him to further hone his skill and display his talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The father of three is not only a hero to his children as his colleagues were equally thrilled with his brave performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn MAF, there are various courses. So I took the opportunity to attend the relevant fields and also shared my knowledge with the personnel of other teams,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The six-minute MAF drum line combined\u00a0band performance which would also see Mad Zain doing his fire-spitting show is participated by 128 members of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), and the Malaysian Army (TDM), and other uniformed agencies.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mad Zain who is\u00a0also the drum major will be leading the band and performing the fire breathing show, said they have been practicing for a month to\u00a0ensure flawless performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the combined\u00a0MAF drumline will play several patriotic songs as well as a taekwondo demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Navy Warrant II Officer, Azumu Zainal, 40, who is one of the combined band members said that although the role as a mace thrower is often performed, training remains a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTraining is necessary because during the performance we want to avoid the mace falling during the show, ” he said, pointing to the injuries on his neck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rukun Negara Pledge will be led by Senior Fire Superintendent II Siti Farizun Naim, 33, who said she is one of the eight frontliners to read the pledge to represent the entire uniformed team serving the country in the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the first time I participated in National Day in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic where the training aspect is very different because we all need to prioritize the standard operating procedures (SOP) set. This is a new experience for me, \u201dshe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
