this is some review about Dr. Faiz Khaleed that got from internet search..

Faiz bin Khaleed (born September 15, 1980 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) is a Malaysian military dentist with the Royal Malaysian Armed Force. In September 2006, he was selected as one of two final candidates to undergo astronaut training in Star City as part of the Angkasawan program. The other candidate was Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor.

Dr Faiz received his early education in St. John's Institution, Kuala Lumpur.

In 2007, Sheikh Muszaphar was selected to fly to the International Space Station with Expedition 16 onboard the Soyuz TMA-11 in October 2007.[1]

Faiz bin Khaleed still might go to space in 2008 or 2009 if Malaysia decides to proceed with a second space flight, which at the moment being very likely.[2] There is also talk of him undergoing training under NASA in the United States.

On 22 October 2007, Dr Faiz was promoted to a Major in the Royal Malaysian Armed Forces.

to Major Dr. Faiz, i wish you all the best for everything! chaiyo2!! ;-)
