Mounted Ceremonial Squadron

The formation of the Mounted Ceremonial Squadron (Skuadron Istiadat Berkuda) added another milestone to the history of the Armoured Corps, the national tourism industry and the development of the national equestrian sports. The idea was mooted by then our great inovator the Prime Minister Dato' Seri Mahathir bin Mohamed (now Tun Mahathir bin Mohamed). With the formation of this unit, it becomes the third uniformed organisation after the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) and Kuala Lumpur Town Hall (DBKL). The Mounted Ceremonial Squadron was officially launched on the 13th May 1997 by then the Minister of Defence Dato' Syed Hamid Albar bin Syed Jaafar Albar.
