Daniyar Nazarbayev has enrolled in the famed Sandhurst Military College since last year, despite doubts over Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak’s future son-in-law’s academic qualifications to enter Columbia University in the United States previously.
The Malaysian Insider understands from family sources that the 24-year-old Kazakh is in the commissioning course for regular army officers which takes 48 weeks.
“Daniyar is in Sandhurst now. They accepted him last year,” a source told The Malaysian Insider.
According to the college’s website, the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst in Surrey is where “all officers in the British Army are trained to take on the responsibilities of leading soldiers.”
“More than 80 per cent of Officer Cadets are university graduates, but some arrive with A-Levels or equivalent. Others are serving soldiers who have been selected for Officer training and some come from overseas, having been chosen by their own armies to train at the world famous Academy.
“It is not possible for anyone to undertake training at their own private expense,” the website said.
