11. Calling up for service in armed forces

The proper authority may cause to be served on any person who is liable to be called up for service in the armed forces and who has been medically examined under section 9, a written notice

Subject to the following provisions of this Act every person upon whom an enlistment notice is served shall on the date specified in the notice present himself to the authority and shall enlist in the force therein specified in the manner provided by law for enlistment in such force and the term or period for which he is enlisted in such force shall, notwithstanding anything in any other written law for the time being in force governing service in such force, be deemed to be from the day of such enlistment for a period of two years, or such shorter period as may be specified in the enlistment notice.

Any person who without reasonable excuse fails to comply with the requirements of an enlistment notice served on him under this section shall be guilty of an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to a fine not exceeding two thousand ringgit or to both.

Where an enlistment notice has been duly served on any person, the proper authority may, at any time while that person remains liable to be called up for service in the armed forces, cancel the notice and, if he thinks fit cause to be served on him a further enlistment notice.

An enlistment notice served on any person shall cease to have effect if before the date on which he is thereby required to present himself he ceases to be liable to be called up for service in the armed forces.

The proper authority may pay to persons required to present themselves in accordance with enlistment notices served upon them such travelling and other allowances as he may, with the approval of the Minister, determine.
