I know an Iban bloke who was a high official now retired. he told me of his experiences of crossing into Indonesian territory at night and ambushing them. They would bring back ears as proof of kills. His father was a headhunter and his son attended Oxford.
The only Malaysian to be awarded the George Cross was an Iban tracker attached to the Worcestershire Regiment in 1952 during the First Malayan Emergency. His platoon was ambushed by communists in southern Malaya. Platoon leader was killed. He was shot in the thigh but stayed to protect a 19-year-old private for hours.. something like from the morning until the afternoon when reinforcement arrived. He died earlier this year but for many years before that, he got to leave his rural village in Borneo to meet the Queen in London along with other VC and GC recipients.
Years ago, I read a book written by a former Special Operations commando who had been air-dropped into Borneo (Kalimantan) and lived with Dayaks in the middle of nowhere, who had shrunken heads of Japanese soldiers in their longhouses...teaching them guerilla tactics.

love the SLR...was using it in reserved M'sian army in the early 80s before it totally replaced by M16.. sharp and good for long distance shot. Never jamn and easy cleaning compare to HK used by my batt.
SLR was a very reliable battle rifle..It had proven many times especially during Vietnam War. The Australians used SLRs and defeated North Vietnam Army in Long Tan Battle. However it weight and more powerful bullets not very practical for today riflemen. Today soldiers carry more equipments than previous generations. That's why most nation switched to lighter 5.56mm assault rifles. Even Russian switched to lighter calibre.5.54mm in later AK models.
During the Confrontation between Indonesia and Malaysia..it got so serious that the conflict became a potential flash point for the Cold War to become super hot..it was rumored that the British armed with nukes were based in Butterworth North Malaya and Singapore ready to retaliate against Indonesia if all out war were to break out..because Indonesian armed forces were backed by the Soviet Union with modern weapons..Battle Ship, Submarines etc..
This is very realistic . In one shot you can see a solider with a shot gun . The army asked for them to be shipped out from the UK . They were found to be the best for getting snipers out of trees .

Reason why the ANZACS were so effective in Vietnam compared to the US, "thanks" to the Malay conflict we knew how to fight in a jungle terrain. *I know this are British, but it's the exact same with the Kiwis and Aussies.
That had nothing to do with it. The US mainland and its people were subverted by communist infiltration in our schools and government. This took away our willingness to fight and win and created a mass distrust of government for the very first time. Americans knew just fine how to fight and win in jungles as they did in WWII less than 20 years prior to our first armed incursions into Vietnam. The larger question, communist subversion aside, is _was it really necessary for us to fight there? _ The answer is no.
@@drott150 Most American engagements in the Pacific were island hoping battles, they didn't have as much time on mainland pacific countries compared to the commonwealth forces in the Pacific, and exception probably being the Philippines. They weren't fully prepared/ trained for a full scale guerrilla battle in Vietnam, they did slowly adjust to how to fight it however. Australia also had protest against the war like many of the other combatants and this "communist propaganda" about it infiltrating schools is just stupid, WW2 was still having a toll on the American people and they didn't want to send more young boys to die in another useless war. Vietnam was not like WW2, the Japanese were a professionally trained Army, the basic Vietcong soldier was not, it was a completely different war for the Americans. the Malay conflict was an awakening for the Commonwealth forces in South East Asia, the same influence that took part in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc. American's aren't the best jungle soldiers, you can leave that to the armies that are trained to deal in those environments.
British, Australian and New Zealand Instructors at the Jungle Warfare School taught the early US Special Forces how to operate in these regions, during this period. There were also a number of former SAS (British ) who served in Vietnam, Robin Letts for example. The British, Australian and New Zealand troops had learned their skills in Malaya and Borneo/ Sarawak, although a number were also ww2 jungle seasoned vets, and had also served in Korea. The US troops have a different methodology to the "British and Commonwealth" troops.
If you asked me to pick a weapon i'd want to carry through jungle it would be Sterling. If you asked me to pick a weapon i'd want to fight with in the jungle i'd pick the SLR.
@@oml81mm Look closely at the Bren too (enemy) with curved magazine its the .303 version, the British L4A4 7.62 version had the straight magazine which also fitted the SLR, one of my neighbours carried an SLR in Northern Ireland fitted with the 30 round L4A4 magazine
Never had a problem with any of the stocks wood, laminated or polymer. The only issue with the woods ones really was too much oil sweating out of he wood when the rifle was hot (hot day or sustaiend fir=ing) if soldiers had previously got too carried away with oiling it.
@@mangore623 Never saw an SLR break once ever. Only issue I saw was an Aussie soldier on exercise who didn't properly lock the receiver in place after cleaning it, had it break open when he fired resulting in the rat's tail hitting him in the forehead and running round the side of his head giving hima very nasty would and a very nasty headache which he had to wake up to. That was in 1981 or 2 IIRC.
Thats a inch pattern SLR pal, as we used to great effect in the Commonwealth. Malaya first, then Australia in Vietnam. Aussies' on secondment and Brits in NI and the Brits in Oman and the Falklands. Good weapon, and if you ever meet any SF guys they will tell you over 90% of trigger time on ops is done on semi. So a semi only version of a FAL makes good sense, and effectiveness as you can see from where the best soldiers worldwide have done their thing, British and Australian Soldiers.
@@markwilson3978 the communist forces continued the insurgency after the conflict officially ended though, so maybe be not technically malayan emergency
In the movie, it is not true that the two sides fight equally with each other, but the other side loses, and the other side wins, and meets Vietnam, the two sides die equally.
@@markwilson3978 Equivalent weapons, one side wins the match, 1, 2 people die, and the other is dead. fim illusion. Do you know the war (Vietnam -USA 1954 -1975). (vietnam - cambodia 1979-1989) Vietnam-china 1979-1990. you know ???
My uncle from Swansea was there he went to a brothel and wouldn't pay so they through him out of second floor window and cut his arm 20 years later he had to have one of his fingers amputated because of that my dad went to aldershot he was a sniper and in the day he peeled potatoes 😊
Maybe thinking of L1A1, later variant. This is not WW2, however. Obviously, they are armed with SLR, Sterling SMG's and the enemy appear to have a mixture of weapons like Lee Enfield, M14 and AR-15 rifles.
In Malaya there was a mix of weapons, and some early SLR's (from FN )were used, in Borneo they had M16, shotgun, L1A1 SLR, L2A3 Sterling, some L34 silenced sterling, L4 brens, and a few others. The Australians also had the Owen smg.
@@robinloxley205 Thanks mate. Must admit the Malaya conflict is a subject I need to learn more about. Currently trying to gather info on the effectiveness of flechette rounds fired from recoilless rifle, if by chance you could shed any light on that?
SLR began replacing Lee Enfield 4/5 in 1955. Replaced them in Regular Army infantry by end of 1958. By 1964 only people still using them were Army reserves and RN and RAF.

Australia also had protest against the war like many of the other combatants and this "communist propaganda" about it infiltrating schools is just stupid, WW2 was still having a toll on the American people and they didn't want to send more young boys to die in another useless war. Vietnam was not like WW2, the Japanese were a professionally trained Army, the basic Vietcong soldier was not, it was a completely different war for the Americans. the Malay conflict was an awakening for the Commonwealth forces in South East Asia, the same influence that took part in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos etc. American's aren't the best jungle soldiers, you can leave that to the armies that are trained to deal in those environments.
British, Australian and New Zealand Instructors at the Jungle Warfare School taught the early US Special Forces how to operate in these regions, during this period. There were also a number of former SAS (British ) who served in Vietnam, Robin Letts for example. The British, Australian and New Zealand troops had learned their skills in Malaya and Borneo/ Sarawak, although a number were also ww2 jungle seasoned vets, and had also served in Korea. The US troops have a different methodology to the "British and Commonwealth" troops.
Amazing how easy it is to sneak up on sentries ... in the movies.
As per The Virgin Soldier movie which show the British involved in the Malayan Emergency.

The sterling submachine gun very practical for jungle warfare. Light and reliable and can carry more spare bullets. You can spray the bushes with it..
hand me an owen
The fixed firing pin was a bit of a problem tho’
Owen more reliable but the upward protruding magazines a bit nuisance for concealment in the bush
But fight now it's a Not clever decision to choose Aug Styer 5.56mm Not to quality
If you asked me to pick a weapon i'd want to carry through jungle it would be Sterling. If you asked me to pick a weapon i'd want to fight with in the jungle i'd pick the SLR.
It's interesting to see a M16 rifle in the hands of the insurgent in 1964.
😁 😁 😁. Even USA don't use them
@@alisaiful6717 some advisers had them, and the US Air Force, but not ground troops.
The British Army bought several thousand AR15s before the Americans did.
Can't see any AK 47 around

Wow..Self Loading Rifle(SLR)+7.62mm,SMG+9mm,Grenade Super Eneger...
And a No 5 rifle (.303) made an appearance once or twice.
@@oml81mm Look closely at the Bren too (enemy) with curved magazine its the .303 version, the British L4A4 7.62 version had the straight magazine which also fitted the SLR, one of my neighbours carried an SLR in Northern Ireland fitted with the 30 round L4A4 magazine
2:42 when you finally catch the guy that's been putting grocery newsletters on your porch.
Darn, a mighty fine re-enactment.
What’s the name of this movie ?
Thanks mate.. scary stuff but it is what it is! 🇳🇿
lack of face paint and green fatigues is quite telling
Quality recreation, in my opinion.
oh no , its from that time . There were a series of them made then .

To show more enemy soldiers then the few he had on his pre attack plan....

Not very good at Crete but. They let the whole team down like the weakest link in the chain giving way.
@@robbiedennis "not very good"
Low IQ?
@@robbiedennis One bad apple Brig. Not the whole division.
Man, SLR, how good particularly with the older wooden fore-stock, not the laminated ply, I found the wood one better to use, for some reason?
probably the weight made it smoother to fire, polymer makes it lighter but the cartridge is a bit more nasty like that.
I found just the opposite on our C1A1. It didn't take many rounds before they'd catch on fire. Breakages were common.
Never had a problem with any of the stocks wood, laminated or polymer. The only issue with the woods ones really was too much oil sweating out of he wood when the rifle was hot (hot day or sustaiend fir=ing) if soldiers had previously got too carried away with oiling it.
@@rhodanjones5155 Never noticed any difference at all. If anythign the stippling on the polymer stocks and forened helped.
@@mangore623 Never saw an SLR break once ever. Only issue I saw was an Aussie soldier on exercise who didn't properly lock the receiver in place after cleaning it, had it break open when he fired resulting in the rat's tail hitting him in the forehead and running round the side of his head giving hima very nasty would and a very nasty headache which he had to wake up to. That was in 1981 or 2 IIRC.
Nice. The FN. great rifle.
SLR. My second favourite variant after the Rhodesian.
@@stevedevice1866 Excuse my ignorance, but are there distinct differences between the Belgian, British, and Rhodesian versions of the FN?
I remember seeing this film in about I969 when an army recruiting team came to our school.
What movie? And it’s not the Virgin soldiers 1969 I already checked
@@Stephen-lt1tp Not know the movie, suspect it was made by the Army recruiting teams.
Is this a training film or part of a movie!?
The FAL is a great weapon.
I think someone's making a plastic/lightweight version of it currently, or is about to. I seent it recently on the Task And Purpose channel.
This ain’t cod that ain’t no fal. SA-58
Thats a inch pattern SLR pal, as we used to great effect in the Commonwealth. Malaya first, then Australia in Vietnam. Aussies' on secondment and Brits in NI and the Brits in Oman and the Falklands.
Good weapon, and if you ever meet any SF guys they will tell you over 90% of trigger time on ops is done on semi. So a semi only version of a FAL makes good sense, and effectiveness as you can see from where the best soldiers worldwide have done their thing, British and Australian Soldiers.
Ozdave McGee thankyou
Not a SA-58 either. L1A1 SLR or similar. SA-58 is from the USA based company DS Arms, founded in '87. And it's FAL based anyhow.
Not possible to move that quietly in that kind of jungle.
Just wondering as to why the first sentry was watching the wrong way?
What movie name?
Is this a Malaysian film?
What is the original title?
1964 : malayan communist party (CPM)
2021 : democratic action party (DAP)

Which movie?
Funny how the enemy all had Enfield jungle carbines
...and they appeared to be dressed as WW2 Japanese soldiers 🤔🧐
Actually, at 5:09 when the first charge is sounded, a Communist soldier is seen carrying an M-16 rifle.
What movie is this? It looks very realistic! 👏🏼😎
It's a re-creation of events that happened
@@bhall4996what is the name of the re-creation then!
Very nice 👍
Great video. Cheers chum.
What movie is this?
You'd never see that much pale skin exposed these days, the jungle camo face paint and definitely use of soft camo gloves is standard.
Seru sekali film nya
Full movie?
Served in Malaya 1954/56, bit grim, enough said.
Sepatutnya pihak keselamatan arahkan pihak musuh serah diri .. bile musuh mengenai pihak lawan, barulah pihak keselamatan membalas bermati-matian
Funny the Enemy are using No5 LE Jungle Carbines 😂
And an m16!! Funny stuff. Most likely they wouldnt have had these arms at this time, but I'm no expert here so maybe I'm wrong AF.
They look suspiciously like Gurhkas too!
Movie name ?
5:08 a wild m16, how did they get that at 1964?
This is britain 'vietnam war'. Must be in Malaya or Borneo.
Yep malayan emergency
@@LogieT2K British involvement in Malyan emergency ended in 1960.
It's about Malaya, during insurgencies
@@markwilson3978 the communist forces continued the insurgency after the conflict officially ended though, so maybe be not technically malayan emergency

That sterling SMG my father weapon during that era of fighting
First time I used one, I was nine. My old man was 3 RTR and it was in Braunschweig Germany on the rnage at the old SS barracks there.

hey ! is it vietnam war of 1964 ? wherever else held war during this time ?
In the movie, it is not true that the two sides fight equally with each other, but the other side loses, and the other side wins, and meets Vietnam, the two sides die equally.
WHAT ?...........are you on drugs !
@@markwilson3978 Equivalent weapons, one side wins the match, 1, 2 people die, and the other is dead. fim illusion. Do you know the war (Vietnam -USA 1954 -1975). (vietnam - cambodia 1979-1989) Vietnam-china 1979-1990. you know ???

I remember this film from my AA recruit days. Laugh now though. No face cam,. Those lovely white faces shining out of the bush!
My uncle from Swansea was there he went to a brothel and wouldn't pay so they through him out of second floor window and cut his arm 20 years later he had to have one of his fingers amputated because of that my dad went to aldershot he was a sniper and in the day he peeled potatoes 😊
筆者評89分！這是哪一個系統的土共？
M-16 at 5:10. Whut?
1:47 yes it was
wrong rifles..they used the 303 jungle carbine..
@HellYeaNixon rubbish, production of N0.5 rifles began in 1944. The SLR replaced it not the " LAR".
Maybe thinking of L1A1, later variant. This is not WW2, however. Obviously, they are armed with SLR, Sterling SMG's and the enemy appear to have a mixture of weapons like Lee Enfield, M14 and AR-15 rifles.
In Malaya there was a mix of weapons, and some early SLR's (from FN )were used, in Borneo they had M16, shotgun, L1A1 SLR, L2A3 Sterling, some L34 silenced sterling, L4 brens, and a few others. The Australians also had the Owen smg.
@@robinloxley205 Thanks mate. Must admit the Malaya conflict is a subject I need to learn more about. Currently trying to gather info on the effectiveness of flechette rounds fired from recoilless rifle, if by chance you could shed any light on that?
SLR began replacing Lee Enfield 4/5 in 1955. Replaced them in Regular Army infantry by end of 1958. By 1964 only people still using them were Army reserves and RN and RAF.
