One interesting activity was the delegates’ visit to the Malaysian Army’s "Friendly Jungle" display at the nearby Commonwealth Park, where Malaysian Army personnel demonstrated jungle survival skills.

The week in Kuala Lumpur also included several social activities, giving the delegates the opportunity to experience the colorful local culture and to get to know each other better. The spouses accompanying the delegates also enjoyed the unique culture and rich history of Malaysia through a daily program of activities, including trips to the famous city of Malacca, the Batu Caves, the Selangor Pewter works, and the Petronas Towers, the tallest buildings in the world.

Lt. Col. Pg Hj Rosli bin Pg Chuchu of Brunei, a first time participant in PAMS, expressed the value of PAMS XXV when he said, "Seminars like this give an opportunity to collect valuable information and make contacts that will be useful in the future. We do not know when we may operate together in the future in UN Missions and therefore the exchange of information and the country presentations and their experiences are very useful to me."
