THE OVERSEAS SWORD, awarded to the Overseas Cadet considered by the Commandant to be the best of the intake, was presented to Junior Under Officer Uqbah Hadeed Malik of Pakistan.
Born in Karachi 21 years ago, Uqbah attended the Jhelum Military College, where he was the best overall cadet. He joined the Pakistan Military Academy for 18 months before coming to the UK, where he took and passed P Company before joining the RMAS. He has also been awarded the UAE Communication and Management Studies prize for best performance by an Overseas Cadet.
His father is a retired Brigadier and his mother is an English professor, currently studying for an MA in Linguistics in London.
While at Sandhurst, Uqbah played polo, cricket and hockey for the Academy and he will join the 1st Sind Regiment (mechanised infantry) on his return to Pakistan.
The fact that he passed P-company is quite impressive. That is a hard course.
