Thank you for this very nostalgic video. I was in the British Army Air Corps...serving in Kuching at the time of this battle. Later I flew some trips into Serian....I also flew into Lundu quite a bit...and I actually lost a comrade whose helicopter left Lundu in the dark...carrying an Indonesian prisoner and a Gurkha guard...and was never seen again..they crashed in the sea...later some fishermen caught some parts of his helicopter in their nets. Years later I was very proud to be presented with the Pinjat Malaysia...by the Malaysian high commisionar in the UK ...in Colchester Essex. I am now 79 years of age...but remember Borneo as if it was only last week when I was there. A beautiful country with beautiful people...I want to say thank you to you all and to say that I am very proud to have earned the Pinjat Malaysia in defence of your lovely country. God bless you all.❤
I am glad that I still can hear about Gurkha's troops from Lundu going into action at Kpg Plaman Mapu. Here at Kpg Raso 1 Lundu where there's many foxhole and former mini camp still existing but it's to old and buried ,collapse,But the history was really there.
Buat tugu peringatan atas bukit tu supaya semua org tahu sedikit sejarah mempertahankan tanah air Malaysia yg dibantu oleh tentera2 dari negara commonwealth pada zaman perang konfrontasi Ganyang Malaysia dari 1962 - 1966. Boleh djadikan salah satu tempat pelancongan bagi yg berminat.
Thats very interesting. I never knew that history. Were there underground bunkers? I wonder whether they could be restored at the cost of some oil palms?
