As a NS recruit, I did not know much about the Kota Tinggi details but later as a staff officer I had the opportunity to meet these personnel from 2SIR during the usual Friday Tombolo Night. At that time when Singapore was a part of Malaysia our two SIRs were renamed as 1MIR and 2MIR. 2SIR was operationally responsible for the Singapore and southern Johore area. 2MIR (2SIR) was raised in 1962 and billeted at Holland Road Camp. According to my superior who was then a young 2LTA in 2 SIR, Dalgit Singh was already a platoon commander, together with LTA Mejar Singh. 2SIR's CO was a Colonel Campbell, a British seconded from the British Army. It was the crack Indonesian paratroopers from the "KKI", an elite Guards unit from Jakarta which was sent on this mission. The Malaysian police post at Kota Tinggi were alerted of the parachute-landing and the nearest infantry garrison to Kota Tinggi was 2 SIR in Singapore. 1SIR at that time was deployed to the Sabah border with Indonesia. One platoon of 2SIR was sent inside the jungles of Kota Tingi. For those who have ventured into Kota Tinggi (which I did as a child and as a teenager), it has a waterfall as the key attraction. The killing zone was north of the waterfall. 2SIR made no contact with the Indonesians for about a week. However, unknowingly the Indonesians were tailing one of the SIR sections. Not finding them for a week, that section grew tired and went for a bath at one of the nearby Kota Tinggi streams. Everybody left their weapons at the riverbank with no personnel on sentry-duty. For those trained in the SAF doctrine, you are not supposed to do this and at all times, your rifle must be with you. The Indonesians pounded on our boys but one injured personnel managed to sneak away and ran for his life into Kota Tinggi Town. All this time, there was "radio silence" because this was a mission. It was only after the injured personnel emerged from the jungle that the incident became known. When the dead were recovered, their bodies were infested with maggots and were very gruesome Reinforcements were rushed up from Singapore. On that mission were names like James Teo (who was the 5SIR CO for BERSATU PADU in 1971), Jimmy Yap (CO Officer Cadet School), Mahinder Singh (Dy Director SAFTI) and Dalgit Singh (CO 3SIR). They were

SAF Chief Guards Officer quits over 'personal reasons'

This is 1 of the episode from cyberpioneer just released this month. The most disheartening ..kenna turn out right when you bookout outside the guard house...who will ring that "Bell" ? Salute my NS men.

this video happens in a russian shopping mall, the men in the blue shirts are security guards. with security like them , who needs tasers? its amazing how everybody just walks away at the end of it like nothing happens.

I know mud flaps don't look nice on many cars. But do you think they should be mandatory for safety purpose? Cause when cars go over small debris on the road, it will send the debris flying. Mud flaps will be able to prevent that. I am sure many have already kan stone chips hitting their windscreen and body while travelling, esp on NSHW and perhaps local HWs.

first was micheal owen.. now

Hi bros, made a mistake and sticked on bumper guards cos wife often kisses the wall at the front bumper corners. question is: anyway to remove them and return my car to the original state? they've been there for 3 weeks. thanks

Or those reflect light kind? So that at night more visible to other road users? Thanks in advance!

Fed up with those stick-on door guards that get lost on the road after rain, shine and wash? I searched and found a pair of these rubber door guards in Msia for RM10 a pair...works like a charm, grips like a leech YET easy to remove without scratching, when washing the car These may look "obiang" at first, but u will get used to it. I swore off those stick-on types, unless u supplement those with 3M double-sided tapes from Autobacs. Cheap and reliable, if u don't mind the looks. Feel the bite...Grrrr.

are these really part of car specifications? or have to fix them outside if without? think my suzuki liana doesnt come with these
