Notes….

• *The Rangers Camp Service on Saturday is held at 1100hrs, therefore it can be very hot. The soldiers of No 2 Royal Rangers, Kem Sued Putra, do make every effort to look after us with shade and refreshments, but carry some water, just in case.
• NB: The Syeun Hotel provides 2 bottles of water to your room each day…please use it for hydration…it’s important your body retains moisture in this part of the world.
• Australian passport holders do not need a visa to enter Malaysia for a visit of up to three months provided their passports are valid for at least six months on arrival and they have a return air ticket or onward ticket to another international destination. A single entry air ticket is not accepted without a confirmed date of exit from Malaysia.
