‘Perajurit’ is the sole defence magazine published entirely in the Malay language in Malaysia. Its vision is to be the platform for providing the latest and most complete information on defence for the knowledge of the reading public in Malaysia.

Current issues involving the military, security and defence industry are given in-depth coverage and analysis on a technical level satisfying to the professional reader yet is comprehensible to the ordinary reader. While ‘Perajurit’ gives focus to local defence and security affairs, geostrategic developments outside Malaysia, especially pertaining to ASEAN countries, are not overlooked especially when such developments affect Malaysian defence and security. The title means The soldier.
