December, 1963, they shot a boar at TERAKAN and then moved to TECK
GUAN’S timber camp near KALABAKAN where they rested during the
night 28/ 29 December. The enemy force comprised the following detachments :
(a) Nl Det. Led by BENNY (a sergeant of the KORPS KOMANDO
OPERASI--1NDONESTAN MARINE COMMANDOS) and HENDRIK
(a member of the SLJKARELAWAN-‘VOLUNTEERS of the NORTH
KALIMANTAN REVOLUTIONARY ARMY). (The SUKARELAWAN
were trained by the KKO at NUNAKAN in November/
December, 1963). Nl’s objectives were TAWAU, LAHAD DATU and
SEMPORNA. It had eight KKO members in its ranks. Its strength is
45-50.
(b) N2 Det. Led by WAYANG (later killed) had a strength of approximately
37 men which included 15 members of the KKO. Its objectives were
TAWAU and SEMPORNA.
(r) WI Det. Led by LASANI (killed later) had a strength of about 34 men.
Its objective was SANDAKAN.
(~j) W'IL &t. Led by BURONTO (a KKO Sgt.) had a strength of about
30 men. This group was also heading for SANDAKAN.
The enemy attack developed from two axis. The first group moved along
the high ground to the NORTH and worked down the ridge on which the
Malay position was sighted. They fired bursts of stnall arms fire into the
two huts of 3 R MALAY, followed by throwing grenades, which accounted
for the majority of the Security Force Casualties. Firing at this position
commenced at 20.55 hours and ended at 23.00 hours (approx.).
A section left at the top of the ridge, moved down the west shoulder rifling
houses as they went, chiefly for loot and food.
The second group moved off the ridge, went NORTH of the police station
and attacked the police station at 21.05 hours until 23.00 hours. The police
corporal had managed to get 19 Home Guard and police into the compound
before the attack developed. The enemy threw grenades at and over the wire
and attempted to scale the wire fence. Malay or Murut voices could be

7
heard guiding them.
At about 22.30 hours some of the enemy stopped a civilian land-rover which
was being driven into KALABAKAN. The local labourers in the vehicle
failed to debus quickly enough and the enemy opened fire, killing one and
wounding another. The enemy kidnapped three of the occupants of this
vehicle and made use of them as guides.
9
Subsequently found enemy documents confirm that one enemy was killed
and four wounded. Security Forces sulfered eight killed (including the Malay
Company Commander) and 19 soldiers wounded. One civilian was killed and
one wounded.
The enemy instructed the local guides to take them to BERENTTAN (about
IO miles NE of KALABAKAN) through the jungle, Three of the wounded
enemy were instructed to return to NUNAKAN but their uniforms were
first removed. At this time the enemy had large quantities of rice-presumably
part of the food taken from the shops in KALABAKAN and morale was
high but discipline was beginning to slack off.
5
Immediately after the KALABAKAN attack, Security Forces were reinforced
to carry out ‘follow-up’ operations. The first contact was at 00.45 hours
on 30 December, when Security Forces moving up the KALABAKAN river
intercepted an enemy prahu. The enemy escaped on being challenged but
a quantity of enemy documents and equipment were recovered.
t
Enemy plans to infiltrate and attack targets further into the interior of SABAH
were disrupted by Security Forces operations. The enemy also suffered from
a shortage of food and their knowledge of the atca in which they were
operating was limited. Enemy casualties by 10 February, 1964, amounted to:
29 killed,
22 surrendered,
33 captured,
which included the following KKO casualties:
8 surrendered,
1 killed,
2 captured.
Direct Indonesian involvement has been confirmed from captured personnel.
documents and equipment.
The INDONESIAN authorities instructed the force to live off the land once
they were in MALAYSlAN territory and also get their food supplies from
shops in the many small villages by purchase or even looting. But this was
made impracticable by Security Forces operations, so much so that the enemy
were forced to try and withdraw to KALIMANTAN. Interrogation of captured/
surrendered enemy personnel and recovery of enemy documents and equipment
immediately after the KALABAKAN raid have brought to light the following:
((1) Eleven KKO (KORPS KOMANDO OPERAST-INDONESIAN
MARINE COMMANDOS) eliminated--one killed, two captured and eight
surrendered. Interrogation of the captured and surrendered KKO indicates
that about 31 members of the KKO took part in this enemy operation-the
incursion into TAWAU Residency and the attack on KALABAKAN.
(h) Enemy weapons recovered were FN rifles, FN LMGs, 50 MM mortars,
bombs and grenades. Most of these had the INDONESIAN Army Ordnance
stamp on them.

VIOLATION OF MALAYSIA& TERRITORIAL WATERS
(I) 15 April. 3961.
The Malayan Marine Police was informed that an unnumbered Indonesian
gun-boat, grey in colour, was chasing two motor vessels Nos. PP 1229 and Xl8
which were loaded with rubber, within Malayan territorial waters in the
vicinity of Tanjong Piai, about one mile away from Malaya’s nearest shores
(i.e. at a point between Pulau Kukop and Tanjong Piai).
The two vessels were registered in Indonesia. When the Marine Police arrived
on the scene the Indonesian gun-boat was in the act of rounding up those
vessels whose crew it is believed, had already escaped by then in an unidentified
speed-boat heading for Singapore.
(2) 11 August, 1961.
At about 10.30 a.m. a Malayan police boat PC 13, while on patrol, sighted an
Indonesian gun-boat from the direction of Singapore heading towards Tanjong
Piah. At that time an Indonesian cargo-boat No. S 14-3474 which was fully
loaded with rubber was in the area, about half a mile from the shore of
Tanjong Piah.
The Police boat raced up to the cargo-boat but the Indonesian gun-boat was
faster and reached it first. However, before the Indonesian gun-boat went
alongside the cargo-boat, three of its four crew escaped in a speed-boat and
went up to the Malayan police boat. The Malayan police boat managed to
close up to about 20 yards from the gun-boat and challenged it. The Indonesian
ignored the warning and towed the cargo-boat away in the direction of Pulau
Karimun and disappeared beyond the limits of the Malayan territorial waters.

1 Enemy Activity in Sematan Pueh Area
17/1x January, 1964
Sematan is a town of 600 inhabitants in the First Division of Sarawak. It is
about 11 kilometres from the Indonesian border with the jungle between.
Pueh is a small kampong (village) 12 kilometres to the west of Sematan. There
are 20 houses in the kampong.
Across the border and 80 kilometres from it is the Indonesian town of
Singkawang. It is known that an Indonesian Army unit known as Border Raiders
together with a force of Indonesian Irregulars were stationed there.
Both Sematan and Pueh are in an area subject to curfew between the hours

of a house, two men called at his house at about 2000 hours. One was ex-PC.
Lansam, a Sarawakian, the other was an unidentified Chinese.
They were in uniform and carried grenades in their belts. They demanded food
and got it, the occupants being in fear. The occupant recognised one of the two
as a former resident of Pueh who had disappeared about a year ago leaving his
family behind. The other man was not known to him. He asked for information
about his family as he wished to take them away to Indonesian Borneo. The
occupant told him what he knew about the family. Both of them went away
into the darkness and spent the night in a basha on the outskirts of the village.

They were all in uniform and one carried a rifle. The man carrying the rifle
demanded cooked rice for 20 persons which he wished to take away. They
waited for 30 minutes during the cooking of the rice. The man with the rifle
ate his portion and they all left in the direction of the coast to the north.

Singkum Ak Lacen, resident of Pueh, failed to return home after his work on
26 January. He was present in the longhouse on the night of 17/ 18th when
On the 28th he reported to the Police at Sematan, one kilometre away to the
west from Pueh that a group of men numbering five all in uniform and armed
with rifles, invaded his house and forcibly took him to a place about 2 kilometres
away in the jungle. There he saw a larger group. There were about fifty of them.
They were all in uniform and all armed with rifles. In this group he noticed the two
men who had called at his house on the night of 17/1&h. The rest he had never
seen or met before.
One of the men who appeared to be the leader demanded that he should lead
them to Sematan. This he did walking ahead of them through the jungle. They
reached Gunong Tamin about 8 kilometres south of Sematan about 1700 hours
on 28 January. He watched for an opportunity to slip away from them into the
jungle. This he succeeded in doing on the 28th and one reaching Sematan made
the report.
22 and 23 January, 1964
Enemy Activity in the Niboag Area
Nibong is a small village of about 200 inhabitants in the First Division of
Sarawak. It is situated 4 kilometres from the Sarawak-Indonesian border and is
80 kilometres south-east of Kuching. Directly across the border in mid-January
there was known to be an Indonesian force ccntaining elements of 602 Battalion
of the Indonesian Regular Army.
A platoon of 30 men had been deployed by Malaysian Security Forces at
Nibong to watch the frontier in that area. During daylight hours, patrolling was
carried out and at night trip-flares and other similar devices were put out to
give warning to anyone moving near that position. A curfew was in operation in
this area between the hours of 1900 and 0700.
At 0300 hours on the morning of 23 January three and a half hours before dawn,
a trip-flare 160 metres to the south of the platoon position was ignited. Five ‘figures
in jungle uniform of the type worn by lndonesian Regular soldiers were clearly
seen by the light of the flare. They were armed and fire was immediately opened
by them and returned by the Security Forces. This continued for about forty

20
minutes. A dawn patrol sent out to investigate found the tracks for five people
which led unmistakably to and from the border.

Enemy activity in Sungei Serudoag Area
The Serudong river is three miles within and runs parallel to the International
border in the south of Tawau Residency of Sabah. At the mouth of the river is
the village of Serudong. The village itself is about four miles from the border.
Across the border lies the Indonesian island of Nunukan. where there are located
two Indonesian marine platoon bases. These Indonesian marine forces ostensibly
carrying out anti-smuggling activities in East Kalimantan, are known to have lately
organised training camps for training Indonesian Irregulars (see Annex A), who
made incursions into Tawau Residency in mid-December, 1963. Security Forces in
Tawau Residency are continuing with “mop-up” operations after the Kalabakan
raid of 29 December, 1963, by Indonesian Regulars and Irregulars totalling
between 140 and 180 men of whom about 31 were lndonesian marines. This force
was made up of small groups of 30-40 men each.
Security Forces in the Serudong area of Tawau Residency received information
that a small enemy group was operating in this area. On 16 January a patrol of
Security Forces met with this enemy group. The group were identified as enemy
by the uniforms they wore and because they were armed with an assortment of
weapons not used by Malaysian forces, Fire was immediately exchanged by both
sides. During the fire fight one enemy was killed, and the enemy disengaged and
withdrew in a southerly direction. There were no Security Force casualties.
From interrogation of previous captured and surrendered enemy personnel and
enemy documents recovered in earlier incidents, this dead enemy has been identified
as Berunton. alias Ramli, who was an Indonesian Marine corporal of the Korps
Komando Operasi. Berunton was also a leader of one of the enemy groups which
incurred into the Kalabakan area. At the time of contact, this enemy group
appeared to have been lost in the Serudong area and without food for several days.
It was apparently trying to withdraw to Indonesian Kalimantan. Subsequently
on the 19 January at 1630 hours two more enemy surrendered to a Security
Force patrol in this same area. This was the result of Security Forces follow-up
after the incident on 16 January. These two enemy were armed and in uniform
and on sight of the Security Force patrol came out and surrendered, These two
enemy were immediately sent to Tawau for interrogation by the police and army,
and it was discovered from their statements that they were in the same group
that was contacted on 16 January 1964.
19 January, 1964
Enemy Activity in the Sungei Simandalan Area
Sungei Simandalan lies approximately ten miles north of Serudong and directly
opposite Pulau Sebatik. Pulau Sebatik is an island opposite Tawau, half of which
is Malaysian and the other half Indonesian-the border running from west to east
in the middle of the island.
30
Security Forces were in the Simandalan area doing normal operations. i.e.,
following fresh enemy tracks to try and contact enemy personnel. On the afternoon
of 19 January at approximately 1430 hours the Security Forces patrol met an
enemy group. Four of this group immediately surrendered while the remaining
few scattered and dispersed in a south-westerly direction. No fire was opened by
either side in this contact. These four surrendered enemy were immediately

21
sent to Tawau for interrogation by the authorities. It was discovered from
statements made by these prisoners that they were of a different group but of the
same enemy force which committed incursion into Tawazu Residency.
20 January, 1964
Incident in the Serundong Area
On 20 January Security Forces continuing operations in the Serudong area of
Tawau Residency made contact with another enemy group. Fire was immediately
exchanged by both sides which lasted for a few minutes. During the fire fight
two enemy were killed and one was captured. The enemy broke contact and
dispersed southwards. There were no Security Forces casualties. A search of the
area uncovered another dead body. This was one of the enemy who had been
wounded in an earlier contact with Security Forces (possibly on 16 January,
because this contact was close to the area that Security Forces contacted the
enemy group initially). The dead and captured enemy were immediately dispatched
to Tawau. From interrogation of the captured enemy it has been discovered that
he is a member of the Korps Komando Operasi-Indonesian marines who are based
at Nunukan.
20 January, 1964
Enemy Activity in the Sungei Umas-Umas Area
Sungei Umas-Umas is a river in Tawau Residency which runs from north to
south. It lies about 15 miles north-west of Tawau. Security Forces had patrols
in this area doing routine jungle patrols looking for signs of enemy presence
when on 20 January a contact was made with an uniformed and armed enemy
group of five. Both sides on sighting each other immediately opened fire. After
a few minutes of firing the enemy group broke contact and fled eastwards leaving
one dead body behind. There were no Security Force casualties. This was part of
the enemy force which entered Tawau Residency in mid-December, 1963, and
were now heading deeper into Malaysian territory.
23 January, 1964
Euemy Activity in the Kalabakau Area
Kalabakan is a village of a few hundred inhabitants situated about 30 miles
north-west of Tawau and about 14 miles from the Indonesian border. A river
called the Kalabakan runs from north-west to south-east and the Kalabakan
village lies approximately 10 miles from its mouth.
Since the successful raid by an enemy force on Security Forces at Kalabakan on
29 December, ‘1963, Security Forces have been patrolling this area for signs of
the enemy. In the early hours of 23 January, 1964, at approximately 0345 hours,
31
a Security Force patrol operating in this area made contact with an ununiformed
and armed enemy group. Fire was immediately opened by both sides. The fire
fight lasted for a few minutes after which the enemy broke contact and fled
southwards leaving behind one killed and six surrendered. There were no Security
Force casualties. The one dead enemy and six surrendered were immediately
sent to Tawau for identification and interrogation. The six enemy who have
surrendered have been identified and admitted that they are Indonesian marines
of the Rorps Komando Operasi who are based in Nunukan. Their group is also
part of the force that attacked Security Forces at Kalabakan on 29 December, 1963.
24 January, 1964
Incident in the Serudong Area
On 24 January, 1964, Security Forces while patrolling in the jungles near
Serudong, made contact with an armed and uniformed enemy party. This party
was part of the group who were lost in this area, and part of the group mentioned
in serial one. A fire fight developed which lasted a few minutes when the enemy

22
party disengaged and fled southwards, leaving behind one enemy killed, one
captured and three surrendering. There were no Security Force casualties. The
enemy casualties were immediately sent to Tawau for identification and questioning
by the authorities. Also on this same day a second patrol of Security Forces
made contact with two more enemy near this area. There were no casualties and
the enemy fled in a south-westerly direction.
Later during the day in this same area a third security force patrol following
up an enemy track leading south-west made contact with three uniformed and
armed enemy. Fire was exchanged but there were no casualties and the enemy
fled south-west. The Security Force patrol recovered one pair of trousers marked
TNI, one towel and one belt.
Enemy Activity in the Long Pasia Area
Long Pasia is a small town of a few hundred people in the Interior Residency
of Sabah. It lies approximately seven kilometres from Sarawak, Fifth Division,
and ten kilometres from the Indonesian border, The river Padas runs through
this town northwards starting from the mountain ranges of the international
border. This town is surrounded by jungle. Across the border and about 30 kilometres
from it is the Indonesian town of Long Bawan. It is known that an
Indonesian Army garrison consisting of two infantry companies of the Indonesian
Army, a small unit of Indonesian paratroopers together with a force of Indonesian
regulars are stationed there. On 22 January a Security Force patrol on operations
in the jungle area south of Long Pasia found tracks for about 20 men moving
north towards Long Pasia. These tracks were followed by the Security Forces
who on the next day found two enemy camps 30 yards apart about six kilometres
south of Long Pasia on the river of the Sungei Padas. Evidence found in this
located camp indicated that it accommodated about 60 people and this camp had
been lived in for about two days immediately before the discovery. Tracks from
this camp led northwards following the Sungei Padas towards Long Pasia.
32
24 lunuary, 1964
In the early hours of 24 January another Security Force patrol of about
36 men was sent from Long Pasia into this area. In the afternoon of this same day,
this fighting patrol met with an enemy group of about 40 men near Kampong Miau
(just about two kilometres south of Long Pasia). Fire was immediately exchanged
by both sides which lasted for about ten minutes. This incident resulted in seven
enemy killed and there were no casualties to the Security Force pl&oon. The
remaining enemy equipment, weapons and ammunition was recovered (see Annex
B). Also captured were important enemy documents which gave a breakdown
of this particular enemy force that had made incursions into the Interior Residency
of Sabah. Documents also show that this enemy force was heading for the coastal
region of Fifth Division, Sarawak. On reaching the coastal regions, this enemy
force was to recruit, organise and train local dissidents, distribute subversive
literature and organise a subversive campaign against the government. Alternatively,
this force was to go to Brunei, but if Security Force operations were too stiff then
they were to return to Kalimantan. Captured enemy documents also revealed that
this force, 58 strong, were trained by 609 Battalion of the Tndonesian Army at
Malinnu who also sponsored their trip to Long Bawan. This force received training
in the use of grenades and particular attention was laid on night firing. The leader
of this group is Omar, With Omar on this expedition were his two brothers, Bosma
and Hassan, who were helping out as guides. A list of all equipment, arms and
ammunition recovered is at Annex B.
Immediate Security Force follow-up operations resulted in two more enemy
being captured and two enemy surrendering. One of them was Marimin bin Arjo.
His interrogation revealed the system by which ‘Volunteers’ were recruited, on

23
pains of imprisonment for reprisal and how they were given military training.

Lubok Antu
Lubok Antu is the Malaysian border village in the Second Division of Sarawak
adjacent to the international border. On 19 January at about 1200 hours an
Indonesian Mitchcl bomber flying at abo,ut 500 feet circled Lubok Antu with its
bomb doors open. This aircraft crossed the border at Wong Pangai which is near

At about 2000 hours an Indonesian cargo craft with a crew of 10 (four armed
with shotguns and two with rifles) intercepted two Malaysian fishing craft Nos.
SLF3671 and SLF2626, off the Malacca coast in International waters. The fishing
crafts were manned by four male Malaysians from Pulau Ketam.
The Tndonesians ordered the crew of SLF3671 to return to Pulau Ketam and
bring back a sum of $2,000 for the release of SLF2626 and crew. SLF 3671
returned to Pulau Ketam and the crew raised the sum of $2,000 which was then
paid to the Indonesians at 2200 hours on 17 January, 1964. The Indonesians then
confiscated boat SLF3671 together with all fishing gear all valued at about $7,000.
They also removed all the fishing gear from SLF2626 valued at about $2,000 and
then ordered the four fishermen to return to Pulau Ketam in SLF2626. After
firing two shots in the air the Indonesians returned towards Sumatra.

Enemy Activity in Pa Banger Area
Pa Banger is an Iban longhouse five kilomctres from the Sarawak-Kalimantan
border in 4th Division of Sarawak. At midday on the 25 January about eleven men
in jungle green uniform of the type used by Indonesian regulars and armed with
rifles approached the longhouse. The soldiers informed the inhabitants of the
longhouse that they were Indonesian Regular soldiers. The people in the longhouse
were frightened and ran into the jungle nearby. About half-an-hour later there were
two loud explosions. From the jungle edge the inhabitants of the longhouse saw it
starting to burn.
A villager reported to the police at LONG BANGER some four kilometres to
the north and a helicopter was utilised to take a platoon to the village. Later in the
afternoon tracks were found leading back across the border towards the Indonesian
kampong of Ba Siok, which lies one kilometre to the east of the border.
It was known that there was a detachment of Indonesian Regular Army at
Ba Siok. On the 1 January Security Forces operating near Pa Banger had found
and destroyed an Indonesian Army machine-gun post within Sarawak territory, the
crew of four all being killed in the action. The attack on the longhouse at
Pa Banger appears to have been carried out in retaliation for the destruction of
the machine-gun post. The fact that the enemy were armed and uniformed and

27
moved towards Ba Siok after the incident confirms that they came from Ba Siok
and were members either of the Indonesian Regular or Irregular Forces.
As a result of this incident a Malaysian Security Force platoon was sent to live
in Pa Banger. The local inhabitants decided to send the women and children to the
safety of a nearby villag,e while the men would remain and harvest the crops.
3Cl January, 1964
On the 30 January a small military patrol, operating near Pa Banger to ensure
that there were no enemy in the area, made contact with an enemy group of
approximately 20 armed with one mortar, several automatic weapons and rifles,
all of which were fired in the engagement.
There was an exchange of fire which lasted from 1105 hours until 1330 hours,
but due to the dense secondary jungle, and thick foliage, it was very difficult for
the two groups to see each other. As a result the firing was sporadic and
inaccurate. The Security Forces suffered no casualties. There were no known
casualties to the enemy. The enemy were in green uniforms and were accompanied
by one civilian in plain clothes who was apparently acting as a guide. A follow-up
patrol found the tracks of this group leading southward across the border.
44
The presence of a guide in civilian clothes indicates that the enemy group were
presumably new to the area and unfamiliar with it and therefore had to be guided
into and out of Pa Banger.
A few empty cartridge cases were recovered from the area on all of which the
Indonesian ordnance factory stamp was clearly marked. The initials PSM can be
seen on most Tndonesian equipment and is used in a similar way to the British
WD and arrow sign.

Enemy Activity in the Merutai Area
Merutai is a town of a few hundred people situated on the Sungei Merutai
running North to South approximately twenty-five kilometres north-west of Tawau.
The town lies on a direct route between Kalimantan and Tawau.
On the 27 January two Ibans were working in a plantation just outside Merutai
when they were confronted by a party of seven Indonesian irregulars who suddenly
fired upon them. The two Ibans with their parangs counter attacked the enemy party
killing one enemy and wounding two others. The enemy with the two wounded fled.
The authorities were immediately informed about this incident and a patrol of
Security Forces was immediately sent to try to capture the fleeing enemy. Security
Force follow-up operations resulted in a contact with this enemy group which
resulted in the two wounded being captured.
Later during the day also in this area, four Indonesian irregulars armed and in
uniform robbed two shops. The loot consisted of green peas, rice, a cooking pot,
vegetable oil and chickens. Two more armed and uniformed Indonesian irregulars
also robbed a further Chinese house in the same area. All the enemy escaped north.
Security Forces were informed and a follow-up operation commenced. The followup
patrol was ambushed by this same party of enemy. The patrol returned the fire
and killed a further enemy.
As a result of these incidents at Merutai on the 27 January two enemy were
killed and two captured. There were no Security Force casualties.

Kalabakan running from west to cast/into Cowie Harbour in Tawau Residency in
Sabah. Tt lies about ten kilometres north of the Indonesian border. This area is
covered by thick jungle and vast areas of swamp.
On the 28 January a Security Force patrol of about thirty strong were operating
in the area of Sungei Pinayas looking for enemy tracks or resting places along the
river bank when they were suddenly encountered by an enemy party, who were
armed and uniformed. Fire was exchanged by both sides which resulted in three
enemy being killed with no casualties to Security Forces. On breaking contact the
enemy withdrew southwards. The following arms and ammunition were also
recovered from this contact :
One sten gun, two rifles Mark 4, five hand-grenades. four sten magazines,
134 rounds of 9 mm. ammunition, 276 rounds of .303 ammunition.

Enemy Activity in the Tawau Area
On 1 February, 1964 about 1845 hours, acting on information, a Special Branch
team from Tawau took possession of a quantity of explosive in Tawau harbour
which had been brought to Tawau by boat on the same day, by an agent of the
Korps Kommando Operasi based in Tarakan. This agent had been trained in the
use of explosives in Tarakan last month. On his arrival this agent was found to be
in possession of the following in his boat which were seized:
1. TNT (6 kilos in weight).
2. Five detonators contained in five empty cartridges.
3. About three/yards of cortex.
4. About two yards of fuse.
5. Half a box of matches with a new razor blade in the match box.
6. Three Russian FI hand grenades.
7. A bundle of anti-Malaysia pamphlets.
The TNT packed with cortex and was ready for instant use. The nature of the
packing of the TNT showed it had been done by an expert. Under interrogation
this agent has stated that his order of tasks of priority in Tawau was as follows:
([I) Power station.
(b) Water-pump station.
(c) Fuel dumps.
He had also been instructed to throw hand-grenades into any crowded place,

SLF70 and SLF1973 on the Malacca Straits, when a black motor-boat with nine
lndoncsians (two of whom were dressed in khaki uniforms) approached.
The Jndonesians were armed with four rifles and one pistol. Two of the lndonesians
boarded the two Malaysian craft and the craft were then tied to1 the
Tndoaesian motor-boat. Shortly afterwards the Indonesian craft while towing the
fishing boats met another Malaysian fishing craft SLF2003.
The four Malaysian fishermen were put on this craft and were told to return to
Pulau Ketam which they did. The two fishing craft were then towed by the Indonesian
craft to Indonesia. Estimated value of the two boats and their gear is $8,900.
Prior to this incident happening the four fishermen had been fucd at with o’ne shot
by an Jndonesian gunboat (number not known) at 1300 hours on the 23rd. The
gunboat came alongside and when the fishermen told them that they were fishing
they were permitted to carry on doing so.

Singapore. While still in Indonesian waters they heard a shot and one of the male
Chinese Lau Boon Lck received a flesh wound in the right thigh. Shortly afterwards,
the outboard sampan carrying three malt Indonesians in uniform and armed with
a rifle and revolver approached. It is believed that the shot had been fired by the
49
Jndonesians although they made out that they did not know who had fired th:
shot. The malt: Chinese were instructed to proceed to Singapore and obtain treatment
for the wounded men. In the area of Raffles Lighthouse at 0730 hours on

Enemy Activity in the Sematan Area
As a result of the information given by Singkun Ak Lacen who was abducted
on 26 January, 1964, Security Forces started an operation to locate the infiltrators
in the Sematan area.
On 6 February a section of Security Forces searching in dense jungle eight
kilometres due so’uth of Sematan found an ambush position. This was well within
the Malaysian border. As the Security Forces approached along the tracks one of
the infiltrators in the ambush coug,hed and thereby unwittingly gave warning to the
Security Forces. The infiltrators were in lndonesian military uniform and opened
hrc at the patrol with rifles. Fire was exchanged for 15 minutes before the infiltrators
withdrew South towards the border leaving behind one dead man. The
Security Forces on searching the ambush found 597 rounds of unused ammunition
of a type used by the Indonesian Armed Forces.
Tracks for about 30 people were followed heading in a southerly direction but
after 100 metres they were lost due to heavy rain and flooding.
8 February, 1964
Sematan
Patrolling was continued on 8 February and an empty camp was located one
kilometre to the west of the ambush position. The camp had been used up to three
days previously and could have accommodated about 30 to 40 persons. Twenty-four
mortar bombs marked IA Mark 1 plus 774 rounds of ammunition were recovered.

32
Tracks for about six people were followed with the aid of tracker dogs but the
tracks were lost in a mangrove swamp about 60 metres south-east of the camp.
At the camp a military flash belonging to 622 Battalion of the Indonesian Army,
a second class private TNT flash and a Partindo membership card were recovered
together with part of a TN1 military manual dealing with field defences. There
was also a sketch of Kampong Pueh showing Security Force positions.
15 February, 1964
Lundu
On 14 February at one o’clock in the morning two Sarawakian Dayaks from
Pasiar Tengah a small village near Lundu reported to Security Forces that there
were two uniformed enemy hiding in a padi field just to the south of the village.
The two Dayaks had broken the curfew in order to pass this information to the
authorities. A small patrol was at once sent out and the two uniformed enemy
were captured at 0215 and taken to Lundu. On being questioned they stated that
they belonged to No. 3 Platoon of ‘A’ Company Pasokan Marimau Sukarelawan
54
which is an Indonesian irregular force and had been ordered to infiltrate into Numbers below
correspond with Sarawak on 12 February. They were under orders to remain in First Division until those

indonesia had liberated Sarawak. ‘The two prisoners are men of inferior calibre
and had deserted from their unit a few hours prior to capture. Their names are
Anting ak Entut and Amat bin Aser, they being Indonesian Land Dayaks. Neither
had a weapon with him when captured. They said they had left them in the unit
camp when they deserted.
20 Fehurrary, 1964
Sematau-kudu area
Kuala Sekambnl is a small village eight kilometres east of Sematan in First
17
Division and 10 kilometres from the Jndonesian border. The village consists of
eight or nine houses and is surrounded by jungle. On 20 February after mid-day
four members of Security Forces under a sergeant were sent to Kuala Sekambal to
carry out an identity card check. This is a routine method employed to discourage
Indonesian infiltrators from forcing villagers to hide and feed them. After they had
checked all the other houses they arrived at the last house in the village and were
invited by the male Chinese occupant to enter and have a drink of coffee. The four
soldiers unsuspectingly went in and sat around the table. The sergeant had not
entered; he put his rifle against the door post and took two steps out into the
road. As he did so out of the darkness hc saw a man in uniform and carrying a
sub-machine gun coming towards him. The sergeant turned quickly and shouted a
warning into the house and at the same time stepped back to grab his rifle. Before
he could reach it he was shot in the back and killed. The occupant of the house
had quietly stepped out. At the same time five or six other enemy had crept up to
the house and had pointed their sub-machine guns through the open windows and
fired into the room wounding all the soldiers. Although wounded they managed to
grab their r&s and fight off the enemy, wounding at least two of them.
The enemy were in clean jungle green uniforms and did not look as if they had
been living under hard conditions in the jungle. The local villagers here who are
predominantly Chinese, appcarcd to be aware of the presence of the enemy group
and had deliberately trapped the members of Security Forces into entering the house.
The Security Forces party had been in the village for four hours; they had visited
all the other houses to check identity cards. It was therefore known to everyone
in the village who and what they were and what they were doing. The incident
must therefore be a pre-planned hostile act. Automatic weapons and ammunition
are not obtainable in Sarawak and must have come from Jndonesia. A search of
the village was carried out and one TN1 peaked cap with the lcttcrs ‘TNKU’
written on the peak was found. Also recovcrcd wcrc 11 rounds of 9 mm submachine

33
gun ammunition. Three of the rounds wcrc of Indonesian manufacture
and bore the Indonesian Ordnance stamp ‘PSM 62’.
21 February, 1964
Enemy activity in the Tringgus area
Tringgus is a horder with a police post. The populalion is about 80. The post
is within 400 metres of the border and is situated in jungle covered hills 40 kilometres
south-west of Kuching in the First Division. The post itself is an ordinary
hut surrounded by barbed-wire placed at a sufficient distance so that hand grenades
18
55
cannot be thrown at the hut from the perimeter. On the night of 21 February, 1964,
the post was manned by a platoon, which is about 30 men. At 11.00 p.m. when
most of the platoon were preparing for sleep, a mortar bomb suddenly exploded
in the hut. At the same time the firing of an automatic weapon approximately
200 rnetres away was also heard. The mortar bomb killed two and wounded six
of the platoon. The enemy did not follow up the attack and slipped away quietly.
A search was attempted but as the night was particularly dark and it was in the
middle of a tropical monsoon storm, the tracks were untraceable.
The next day fragments of bullets fired from an armalite rifle were discovered.
The armalite rifle has distinct characteristics and fires a soft metal bullet. It is
known that the Indonesians have a limited number of these weapons acquired
from the Colt Company of America. There are no such weapons either available
to or in use by Malaysian Security Forces, and therefore the use of the armalite
rifle demonstrates conclusively Indonesian involvement.

Following the incident on 21 February when two policemen were killed and six
wounded, extra troops were sent to the area and patrolling activity was increased.
Two unoccupied resting camps were discovered one kilometre to the east of
Tringgus. In the camps which were in natural clearings in the jungle, fifteen 50 mm
mortar bombs, a mortar cleaning kit wallet and a rifle were found. The registered
number of the rifle is No. O-019810.
On 28 February ten enemy in green uniforms were seen on a track leading
towards Tringgus from the border. On sighting Security Forces they ran away to
the north-west exchanging a few shots as they went. In their rush to escape they
left behind four packs, four 50 mm mortar bombs, 29 rounds of 9 mm ammunition
and a green shirt. A document in one of the packs was a Chinese booklet on
guerilla warfare published in China. This could not have been obtained legally in
Sarawak and therefore unerringly points to Indonesian origins.
29 February, 1964
The following day on 29 February one kilometre north-west of the above
incident, 10 enemy were sighted. Firing at once started and Security Forces suffered
one casualty. When the enemy retired they left behind four dead Chinese. On the
bodies four handkerchiefs were found inscribed for comrades of the First Company.
As Security Forces call their companies by letters such as ‘A’ Company, ‘B’
Company, etc., and also never call individuals by the title comrades, the group
operating had come from outside Sarawak and the location of Tringgus close to
the border showed they had come from Indonesia.
29 February, 1964
Later on the same day in the same area two Chincsc surrendered; they appeared
to be very frightened. Roth had joined the Indonesian Irregulars and had been sent
to Singkawang in Indonesia, where they received one month’s military training.
Singkawang is known to be the location of an Tndonesian Regular Army training

34
camp for Irregulars. Their statements confirmed this. They were instructed by
Indonesian Regular Army NCOs. Early in January their group, which consisted
of themselves and 14 Indonesians who were lndonesian regulars, were ordered to
t
56
move aCroSS the border. They were instructed by the leader a Regular Army NC0
to move into First Division and to attack Security Force posts wherever they
found them. The party was armed with two sub-machine guns, a mortar with
mortar bombs, rifles and hand grenades. They were brought to the border in
Indonesian Regular Army transport and crossed into Sarawak on 24 February.
They further stated that before leaving the training camp in Indonesia the whole
group changed from Indonesian Regular type uniform into Indonesian Irregular
plain colourcd uniform before they left Singkawang. The two Chinese who were
interrogated independently both told the same story.

hemy activity in Sematan-Lundu area
At Kampong Sekati, which is a 20-minute walk to the west of Lundu and 14
kilometres from the border and consists of a few scattered houses mainly inhabited
by Chinese, a search patrol going through the kampong on 1 March found a
collection of arms and ammunition hidden in thick undergrowth on the outskirts
of the kampong. The arms consisted of two rifles, two sub-machine guns, 805
rounds of ammunition, three grenades plus uniforms and a pack. The weapons
were in good condilion and had been placed there not more than three days
previously. They were found 200 yards away from the house of a Chinese who is
suspected of being an Indonesian supporter, and has since been arrested. One
hundred yards from this house a newly dug trench was found. It was obviously
being prepared as a hiding place for the weapons.
In the pack a letter written in Chinese was discovered addressed to Chin Kim Yit
who is one of the sons of the arrested house owner. Kim Yit is told in the letter
that whether hc is in Indonesia or Sarawak he is to fight a life and death battle
against the enemy. The identity of the writer was concealed.
Interrogation of the father revealed that his son Kim Yit returned to Sarawak
from Indonesia with a small party of two lndoncsians and one other Sarawak
Chinese on 25 February, all of whom were Tndonesian Irregulars. The father’s
three sons have all been missing from home for some months. He admitted that
when Kim Yit and his party arrived he fed them and that he was told by them
that they had all come from Indonesia having been trained at Singkawang and
subsequently ordered to enter Sarawak to attack Security Force positions.
6 March, 1964
A Security Force patrol just to the north of Pangkalam Setungkot which is eight
kilomctres north-west of Lundu made contact with a group of enemy at 3.30 p.m.
on 6 March. About 30 to 40 enemy in uniforms were in a clearing in the jungle
just ol1 the main track. Some of them had removed their jungle boots and appeared
to have been having a short rest or food halt. When Security Forces opened fire
the cncmy ran away and were quickly lost in the deep jungle, leaving behind one
seriously wounded Javanesc and a large quantity of equipment which includes a
50 mm mortar with bombs, 2 rifles, a pistol, a military type radio transceiver
No. 3274, a hand generator Serial No. 1227/43, three yellow dropping zone
markers, which are used to indicate a supply area when resupply by aircraft is
being carried out, several pairs of jungle boots, and some clothing.

such as packs and mess tins are marked with the number ‘328’. 328 being known
as the number of the lndonesian Raider Battalion opposite First Division. The
enormous quantity of military equipment captured which is almost one ton in
weight, could only be of value to a military type organisation.

Euemy Activity in the Pantu Area
Pantu is a small town in Second Division 40 kilometres west of Simanggang.
Four kilometres to the south runs the main road between Kuching and Simanggang.
At this point the road is only two kilometrcs north of the Indonesian border. The
border in this area is a range of hills the northern slopes of which lie within the
Sarawak territory. There is little jungle and the hillside is covered with rocks and
out-croppings which overlook the road.
On 6 March two platoons of Malaysian Security Forces were moving along the
road when they were tired at from the hillside within Sarawak territory. Although
the enemy occupied a strong defensive position the Security Forces attacked
suffering three killed and two wounded. Aftct a 40-minute battle the enemy
withdrew to Indonesia. Enemy casualties are not known but several blood trails
were found leading back to the border. The enemy were between 30 to 40 strong.
A search of the arca resulted in the following equipment being recovered:
(CA) One military radio set Serial No. 3278 complete with hand set, rod and
line aerial made by BBC Ltd. of High Wycombe, England.
(b) One hand generator Serial No. 1168/485 complete with tripod made by
BBC Ltd. Neasden Lane, London, N.W.lO.
(c) Some camouflage uniform bearing 328 Siliwangi Kudjang 11 flashes.
(rQ 7 hand grenades.
(r) 8 50 mm mortar bombs.
(f) 445 rounds of ammunition of lndonesian and United States manufacture.
Little attempt was made to hide the identity of 328 Raider Battalion which is
an Indonesian Regular Unit. They wore the camouflage uniforms sometimes worn
by Indonesian Regulars but not worn by Irregulars.
The radio set captured is of the same type as that captured in the Sematan area
on 6 March and works on the same frequencies. Security Forces listcncd in on the
frequency on which the set had been tuned. About an hour after the incident a
message was intercepted to the effect that the enemy was returning with dead and
wounded. In reply an unidentified station stated that a small reverse of that sort
was of little consequence as there were plenty more Indonesians where those (the
casualtics) had come from.

SARAWAK
I Payoh Area”-9 March, 1964
Payoh is a small village eight kilometres south-east of Tebedu in the Serian
district of First Division. The border between Indonesia and Sarawak in the Payoh
area is clearly recognisablc as it runs along the crest of a range of hills. There arc
no roads in the area but a few tracks and streams exist.
On 7 March a Security Force patrol operating near the border of Payoh found
fresh tracks for about 60-70 people heading north. A search was organised and t
at 0800 hours on 9 March further tracks for about 40 people were discovered one
kilometre to the north of Payoh. The tracks followed the bank of the River Muhang
which is a tributary of the River Angkarah. At 1830 hours the same day, a group
w
of about 40 armed men was located resting by the side of the river. The Security
Force patrol opened fire and killed two. In the firefight which lasted about 20
minutes one member of the patrol was fatally wounded. The enemy group scattered
and managed to escape. Enemy equipment captured during the engagement
included a rifle registered No. 5766969, a United States pattern sub-machine gun
magazine, and two sets of mess tins each bearing the figures ‘328’. As 328 Raider
Battalion which is Indonesian Regular Army Unit, was known at the time to be
stationed along the Indonesian border in this area, the markings on the mess tins
are indicative of Indonesian Regular Army involvement.
Follow up by Security Force patrols found tracks leading back to Indonesia.
It was reported by a villager from the village of Plaman Mapu, which is situated
on a border pass through the range of hills, that on 13 March, 37 terrorists in
jungle green carrying sub-machine guns, rifles and a rocket launcher, crossed the
border into Indonesia. Five of the party were wounded.
As no other contact had been made in this area since the ceasefire commenced
on 25 January, the wounded men must have received their injuries in the engagement
on 9 March in the incident reported above. Apart from the other indications

43
of Indonesian involvement already stated, it is clear that the group must have come
from Indonesia and on contact by Malaysian Security Forces returned there.
It is clear that this enemy force were either Indonesian Regulars or Irregulars
and in all probability were from 328 Raider Battalion.
2 Ulu Ai- March-12 April, 1964 P
Ulu Ai is a sparsely populated area of jungle in the south-east corner of Second
Division about 72 kilometres due cast of Simanggang. There is one village in the
area called Jambu with a population of 200-300. .
On 8 March Security Forces patrolling in the area reported tracks for about 50
people heading north from the border. The tracks had not hecn present when the
patrol passed that way on the previous day. On 12 March in a remote clearing, a
camp was discovered which had been occupied about two days previously by
approximately 100 people. In the camp Security Forces found three sub-machine
74
gun magazines, two light machine gun magazines, 5 x 50 mm mortar bombs, eight
spent rounds of 7.65 mm Sovjet ammunition, 921 rounds of other calibre ammunition
and 10 packs.
Numbers below
correspond with
those on maps.
The 50 mm mortar bombs and the 7.65 mm ammunition, are neither used by
nor issued to any Security Forces in Sarawak. It is however, known that Indonesian
Forces are equipped and capable of using such ammunition. Therefore it was
concluded that a group of about 100 Indonesian Regulars or Irregulars was in the
area and Security Forces increased their patrolling activities.
On 17 March a further camp of approximately the same size was found about
one kilometre to the north of the previously located camp. Recent tracks led in a
northerly direction. A document found at this camp was the gazetting certificate
of Nasution as a 2nd.Lieutenant in the Indonesian lrregular Forces. It was signed
by Rbang Kipli on 18 November, 1963. Abang Kipli until recently was the Field
Attached
at Annex A
Commander of the Indonesian Irregular forces.
Security Forces continued to patrol and found signs of the infiltrating force, but
no contact was made until 7 April when a group of about 20 enemy in jungle green
were seen resting in a small clearing about 800 metres north of Jambu. The
Security Forces attacked taking the enemy completely by surprise and scattered
them in various directions. One of the enemy was killed but has not been identified.
Seventeen military packs of a type used by the Indonesian army were left behind
by the group.
On 11 March on a track two kilometres north-east of Jambu a man in jungle
green was challenged by a Security Force patrol. He attempted to run into the
jungle and hide but was shot and killed by the patrol.
On 12 April a 2-man Security Force patrol was walking along a lonely track
10 kilometres due north of Jambu when they were fired at by what appeared to be
a four-man ambush group. The standard of training of the ambush party was
extremely poor as fire was opened a 100 metres before the patrol reached the
ambush.
Fire was immediately returned and the four terrorists attempted to run away.
The two members of the patrol tracked the enemy down and killed them. The
identity of the dead infiltrators has not yet been disclosed.
The proximity of the Ulu Ai to the border and the equipment captured lead to
the belief that that this group of enemy came from Indonesia and must have also
been armed and equipped by the Indonesian Armed Forces.
As a result of the Security Force attack on the camp at Pangkalan Setungkor
on 6 March which was previously reported, the majority of the enemy returned
to Indonesia. Reports were received by Special Branch on 18 and 19 March that

44
a fresh incursion by about 50-60 enemy had occurred on about the 15th. Security
Forces attacked and overran the enemy position. But the enemy reorganised
themselves. Four packs and a A510 Radio set was captured by the enemy. The
enemy force withdrew at 17 00 hours. One member of the Security Force was

slightly wounded and it was considered at the time that the enemy suffered at least
three casualtics. The enemy group were equipped with rifles, three light machineguns
and one light mortar.
This is the first occasion in which a group of enemy has counter-attacked, thus
proving themselves to bc an aggressive and hostile force
The Security Force being out-numbered then reported the incident and a
follow-up was organised. On 26 March three men in jungle green uniform and
carrying rifles held up a group of natives and stole food from them. Two of the
men had been wounded, they said they were making their way back to Indonesia
for medical treatment.
On 29 March Security Forces contacted one uniformed man. When he raised
his sub-machine gun to fire on the patrol he was shot and killed. He has been
identified as Satong who was the leader of a group of 52 Indonesian Irregulars
who entered Sarawak on 13 March. He was formerly the Sarawak United People’s
Party Chairman of the Lundu Branch. He defected to Indonesia in early 1963.
The hostile act of this group plus the equipment carried by them and the arms
they were using which could not be obtained openly within Sarawak arc clear
proof of Indonesian backing and training of this force. This withdrawal to
Indonesia is equally clear proof that Indonesia is harbouring and supporting them.
Kluka-24 Murch-31 March, 1964
Kluka is an uninhabited hilly area 17 kilometres due south of Simanggang. The
arca is rocky and overlooks the Simanggang Kuching Road.
On 24 March, two natives who were walking through this area within Sarawak
territory were apprehended by a group of six Indonesians in jungle green carrying
rifles and sub-machine guns. They were taken to two caves at the top of steep
cliff which faces north over Second Division. The natives were released after three
hours and told not to come into the area again. They reported the incident to the
Security Forces and said that the caves contained a large quantity of food and
equipment. As the caves were located within Sarawak territory Security Forces
launched an attack on 31 March. Artillery fire and air-strikes from a helicopter
were brought to bear on the caves at first light. When the bombardment ended a
Security Force Company scaled the cliff but the infiltrators had by then retreated
the 600 metres south across the border. At 09 00 hours a group of ten terrorists in
uniform tried to make their way back to the caves but were attacked by a Security
Force patrol and forced back across the border again after suffering two fatal
casualtics. Two other terrorists were seen to be wounded but were helped back
across the border by their companions. No pursuit was carried out south of the
border. A considerable quantity of equipment and ammunition was recovered
which included a rifle registered No. 2-022561, a spare barrel for a light machine
gun, some grenades and clothing marked with an Indonesian Irregular Army stamp
(i.e. TNKU). One of the dead enemy is tentatively identified as Sergeant-Major
S. Marlin1 of the Indonesian Irregular Forces.
The intimidation of the two natives, the proximity to the border of the enemy
position, the equipment recovered, and the direction of flight all show that the
76
enemy came from Indonesia. The return of the 10 terrorists after the attack arc Numbers below

Telok M~lanrru-3 April, 1964 5
Telok Melanau is a small village of about 100 inhabitants situated on the coast
of the wcstcrn tip of First Division. It is within three kilometres of the Sarawak
border tind is surrounded by jungle.
At about 21 00 hours on 3 April a group of 12 Indonesians dressed in jungle
green and carrying rifles entered the village. Three of the group broke down the
front door of a house belonging to Karim bin Sindang who is a 42-year-old
Sarawak fisherman. They ransacked the house and stoic M$lOO which was Karim’s
entire life savings and valuables worth M$250. One of the Indonesians who had
brought a tin of petrol into the house with him poured the contents over Karim’s
two daughters and was about to set them alight when he was restrained by one of
the other Jndoncsians. Karim was taken outside where he found his brother Satang
and his brother-in-law Neon bin Hassan who had also been apprehended by the
terrorists. The three men were taken across the border into Indonesia to an
Indonesian Jrrcgular Forces camp. The journey took three days, during which time
the captives were given no food. The Indonesians ate three or four meals of rice
with salt.
In a hungry and exhausted condition the captives were then accused of being
British spies and condemned to death. They were shot by an Indonesian firing
squad. Karim fell at the first volley although he had not been hit. He feigned
death and while the Indonesians were not looking managed to crawl into the jungle,
make his escape and return to Tclok Melanau. He believes that his two relatives
were both killed. On returning to Tclok Melanau he immediately reported to the
Sarawak Police who already knew of his kidnapping which had been reported by
other villagers.

SABAH
6 Enemy Activity irt the Sungei Pepagnrr Area
Sung& Pepagau is a large river in the portion of Tawau Residency originating
from the Conner Mountain Range approximately eight miles south-west of Semporna.
It flows northwards.
On 4 March at about 1900 hours, a house in the Sungei Pcpagau area was
visited by an Indonesian in jungle green uniform armed. This man asked the
occupants of the house for food. After being given a small quantity of food he
left the house and headed into the jungle. The occupant of this house made a report
to the local police in that area. On 6 March at about 0730 in the morning a timber
worker in this same area saw a uniformed and armed Indonesian. This timber
worker also made a report to the police.
t
+
As it is not possible to obtain arms and uniform in Sabah except by being a
member of the Security Forces this man was obviously an Indonesian Irregular.
Incident on 6 March, 1964
On receiving information of the presence of terrorists in this area a Security
Force patrol was sent out to try and locate the terrorists. At approximately 1600
hours on 6 March this Security Force patrol came in contact with two armed men
about 200 yards north from where the man was seen in the moruing, in the jungle.
The men were in jungle green uniform and one was armed with a rifle and the
other, a sten gun. On contact, fire was immediately opened by both parties but the
enemy immediately broke contact and fled northwards. Some medicine and a
water-bottle were recovered by the Security Forces.

46
This incident indicates for the first time the presence of an enemy party east
of Tawau.
7 Enemy Activity in the Knrrtpong Lintuu Area
Kampong Limau is a small Malaysian village on the eastern portion of Sebatik
Island. It is about one mile from the Indonesian border. The village is separated
from Tawau town by Cowie Harbour and is approximately 5 miles away from
Tawau. Across the lndonesian border and in south Sebatik it is known that the
Indonesians have two Regular Army platoon bases, and about 70 Irregulars.
South-west of Sebatik Island lies Indonesian Nunukan, where an Indonesian *
Marine battalion is stationed.
Incident on 3 April, 1964
At about midnight on 3 April an unknown number of Indonesians came into
Limau village. This group were armed and in uniform. The enemy raided the
village looting foodstuff, clothing and other valuable goods and then left. Security
Forces based near this village were informed about this raid and follow up
operations were immediately mounted. A Security Force patrol following tracks
78
made by the enemy discovered that they had crossed the border on coming into
Sabah and had also withdrawn the same way.
Incident on 8 April, 1964
After the raid on Limau village by Indonesian Irregulars, a patrol of Security
Forces was sent into the area again. This patrol based itself on the outskirts of the
village. 0n the morning of the 8 April, this Security Force patrol was attacked
twice by Indonesian Irregulars at 0330 hours and 0440 hours. Fire was opened
by both sides. The enemy finally fled leaving no casualties behind. There were also
no Security Force casualties: the strength of the enemy who attacked this Security
Force. position is unknown. This is the third raid on Limau village besides being the
second in the last six days: and the proximity of it to the border and the route
taken by the enemy are a clear indication that the enemy were from the Regular
or Irregular lndonesian Forces based on Indonesian Sebatik.

The attacking craft followed for approximately one hour firing from time to time.
During the first attack one fisherman was killed and another wounded in the
thigh. The attacking craft left the scene before daylight and was not identified
but thought to be Indonesian. Bullets recovered from the fishing craft indicated
that the weapon used was a Stirling sub-machine gun.

PENINSULA
Telok Anson, Perak-29 March, 1964
On the 29 March at about 2.20 a.m. two employees on a rubber estate near
Telok Anson heard and saw the outline of an aircraft flying from south to north.
These two men subsequently saw two parachutes floating down which they
assumed had been dropped by the unidentified aircraft.
Subsequent search led to the recovery of a total of six parachutes and a box
containing six rounds of ammunition. The parachutes were of a type used for the
dropping of supplies. Some were of British manufacture, but of a type not used
for a number of years by the British, and sold to a number of foreign governments
including Indonesia for use by their Armed Forces.
No friendly or Malaysian military plane was flying in this area at this time and
it is concluded that it was an Indonesian aircraft which dropped the parachutes
for the purpose of causing alarm among the rural population who might think that
Indonesian infiltrators were in the area and were being supplied by the dropping
of supplies.
S’ungei Yahai, Se&w-2 April, 1964
On 2 April four aborigines while out hunting found a parachute in some trees.
They also found a parachute bag.
The parachute was of the same type as those found near Telok Anson and it is

48
a reasonable assumption that it was dropped at the same time for the same reason.
Slim River, Perak-11 April, 1964
On 11 April three children found a parachute bag in the Slim River area of Perak.
The bag was that of a type used by the British forces, but no such bag has been
dropped intentionally or unintentionally in that area by British aircraft.
As there have been numerous reports of unidentified aircraft flying over this and
other areas in Peninsula the evidence points to an Indonesian attempt to counter
Malaysian allegations by making it appear that such unidentified aircraft are British,
by using a British parachute bag-of which they have bought considerable quantities-
to lend credence to their denials that they are carrying out psychological
warfare.

4 Selatan Estate, Telok Anson, Perak-11 April, 1964
On the 1 I April the manager of this estate found an ammunition box containing
six rounds of ammunition. One round was nearby on the ground and the lid of
the box was open.
The box and ammunition were of similar type to that found on the 29 March.
It is likely that the box was free dropped on the 29 March by the same
unidentified aircraft.

1 Mongkus-21122 April, 1964
Kg Mongkus is due south of Serian, four kilometres from the border in First
Division.
On the 21 April at about 1700 hours a Dayak farmer who was working in his
cultivation about five minutes walk from the border south of Kg Mongkus was
approached by 20 enemy.
The enemy asked him to join their group whom they explained were volunteers
of the North Kalimantan Liberation Army. Out of fear he agreed and he was given
a No. four rifle (British) and seven rounds of ammunition.
I
The Irregulars slept at his farm that night and at 0700 hours next morningthe
22 April-moved off towards a Security Force camp four miles away taking
the Dayak with them.
The Dayak ran away from the Irregulars while they were passing through thick
undergrowth and made his way to the Security Force camp to warn the Security

49
Forces of the presence of the enemy and surrendered his rifle and ammunition.
He stated that the Trregulars had rifles, machine carbines, pistols and 36 grenades
and a mortar. At least 10 were Javanese.
At midnight 22/23 April fire was opened on the Security Force camp from a
distance of about 100 metres. The fire included mortar bombs. There were no
casualties.
It is clear that the enemy came from Kalimantan and the evidence points to the
group who abducted the Dayak as being the same group who later fired on the
Security Forces. The composition of the group indicates that at least 10 were
Indonesian recruited Irregulars or Regular soldiers.
2 Kundai-12 May, 1964
Kandai is a kampong near a mountain of that name SSW of Lundu five kilometres
from the border in First Division.
On the 12 May newly made tracks of 70 men were found two kilometres south of ,
Kandai leading from the border to a swamp and then back to the border.
It is known that a large group of Irregulars arrived at Berdjongkong in Kalimantan
on 8 May which is within easy march of Kandai.
1
Although no evidence exists that the 70 men were lndonesians it is very unlikely
that these tracks were made by normal border dwellers who do not go about in
such large groups and who in any case know the area too well to take a route
which led to a swamp.

an incursion into Sarawak which, because they chose a bad route was abortive.
Pasir Tengcrh-18 May, 1964
Pasir Tengah is a small kampong five kilometres from the border, south of Lundu
in First Division.
On the 18 May a Security Force platoon was deployed in ambush positions
between Pasir Tcngah and the Border. A section of this platoon was resting in the
+ platoon base.
At 1230 hours the section at the platoon base was attacked. The attack was

the face of a second attack and the bodies of the dead together with some equipment
had to be abandoned.
The enemy were dressed in jungle green and it is estimated that there were about
40 of them.
On the 25 May Radio Pontianak stated that the Indonesian Army had repulsed
a Malaysian battalion which it was alleged had tried to enter Kalimantan.
A company of 328 Raider Battalion was stationed within easy marching distance
of the border opposite the Pasir Tengah area at this time.
The determination and skill with which this attack was carried out and the
proximity of the company of 328 Raider Battalion make it most likely that it was
this unit which carried out the attack probably with the intention of capturing a
prisoner for psychological warfare exploitation.
It is not unusual for Indonesian Regulars to change into B-regular uniform when
carrying out raids to hide the identity of Regular personnel.
The Radio Pontianak broadcast was almost certainly a distorted version of this
incident.
Baren area-7 April, 1964
Bareo is a large kampong in Fourth Division about 15 kilometres from the
Sarawak/Kalimantan border and eight kilometres south of the Fourth/Fifth
Division boundary.

50
. It has some geographical significance, as from it, tracks lead NE, East and SE
to the border, Westwards to the upper reaches of the Sungai Tutoh and Southwards
to the upper reaches of the Batang Baram. Both rivers carry traffic from the interior
of Fourth Division to the coast.
Some 15 kilometres NE of Bareo is Long Rapun, an isolated group of longhouses.
which is about five kilometres from the border.
87
5 Strm area-7 April, 1964
On the 7 April at 0945 hours three armed enemy walked into a Security Force
ambush between Long Rapun and the border. One was killed; two, one of whom
was wounded, escaped.
The wounded man left a blood trail which led, together with the tracks of two
men, across the border.
The dead man was dressed in a jungle green uniform with United States pattern
equipment consisting of belt, pack and water bottle. He had a Garand (United States
self-loading rifle) and 70 rounds of ammunition,
Hc had on his uniform a cloth badge indicating that he was from Pramuka B,
an Indonesian Irregular unit b:iscd at the time on Long Bawan in Kalimantan
opposite this area of Sarawak.
A
Subsequent search by Security Forces revealed that the blood trail of the wounded
man joined the tracks of five to eight other men, all of which led to the border.
A camp for 40 men was discovered near Pa Lungan, two kilometres from Long
Rapun and it seems likely that this camp contained the group who assisted the
wounded man back over the border.
*
The equipment of the dead man and the subsequent discovery of a camp are
clear evidence of an incursion from Kalimantan of armed and uniformed enemy.
The dead man could hardly have obtained his equipment and weapon without
Tndonesian official connivance.
Ittcirknt nn 4 Mq, 1964
On 4 May at OX40 hours Security Forces fired on an armed and uniformed man
in the Long Rapun area. The man escaped.
Hc was wearing jungle green uniform and carrying a US Army carbine.
During the follow-up, tracks of six men were found East of Pa Lungan and
one shot was fired from the thick jungle near the border at the Security Force
patrol.
The tracks of the six men led across the border.
lt is deduced from the incidents related above that a party of enemy had crossed
from Kalimantan and that a scout of this party was contacted by Security Forces.
Kg Stass is 24 kilomctres from the Sarawnk/Kalimantan border, due West of
BAU in First Division Sarawak. Six kilometres South East of Kg Stass is
Kg Serabak which is five kilomctres from the border.
On the 7 April at 1030 hours a section of a Security Force platoon on routine
patrol was fired at as it approached a basha in the jungle about half way between
Kg Scrabak and the border.
Subscqucnt information and a study of tracks indicated that about 14 enemy
were involved in what appears to have been an attempt to ambush the Security
Force patrol.
88
Some of the enemy wore jungle green uniform and some were in camouflage y;z&”
uniform. those on mnp~.
Fire was returned by the Security Force patrol and the cncmy broke contact.
Subsequent follow-up of tracks led to the border.
It is known that at this time elements of 328 Raider Battalion whose uniform is

51
a camouflage jacket and trousers together with elements of a company of Irregulars
whose uniform is jungle green was at &bang in Kalimantan opposite Kg Serabak.
lnciilent on 13 April, 1964
On the 13 April at about 0950 hours a six man Security Force patrol was
ambushed by an estimated 10 to 20 enemy while patrolling between Kg Stass and
the border.
Jn the ensuing fire fight the patrol suffered four fatal casualties.
Subscqucnt follow-up by another patrol found the ambush position for 22 men
and followed tracks to the border.
The proximity of the border and the tracks to and from it are indicative of an
incursion into Sarawak from Kalimantan.
The accumulated evidence clearly points to two separate incursions, on 7 and 13
April, aimed at ambushing Malaysian Security Forces by a combined force of
Irregulars, and Regulars of 328 Raider Battalion, the latter being a unit of the
Indonesian Regular Army in Ralimantan.
Selarrtpit-28 April, 1964 6
Selampit is a kampong South of Lundu, 10 kilometres from the border in First
Division.
On the 28 April at 0100 hours small arms including mortar fire was directed at
the houses in the kampong. The attack lasted 10 minutes. There were no casualties
but some houses were hit by mortar fire. This did not result in any serious damage.
Security Forces following-up in the daylight followed the tracks of 20-30 men
to the border and found the following ammunition on the outskirts of Selampit:
(n) 50 mm mortar bombs
(b) A 36 type grenade
(c) .45 pistol/machine carbine
(n) .30 US Ml carbine
(e) 30 US Garand
(f) .30 ballestite-for Garand fitted with energa grenade
It is clear that this group of enemy came from Kalimantan, probably from Sawah
which is within a day’s march of the border and previous to this incident contained
a group of Irregulars.
The ammunition however-particularly the use of a .45 pistol or SMC points to
Regular Indonesian Army involvement.

SABAH
KumpongSrmgei Limau--19 April, 1964
Kampolng Sungei Limau is a small Malaysian kampong on the NE portion of
Sebstik Island, is about one mile from the Indonesian border. South West of
Sebatik Island lies Nunukan Island which is Indonesian. North East of Sebatik
Island on the Sabah mainland is Tawau town.
After two incidents earlier in April in this area (ref previous reports), Security
Forces deployed stronger protective patrols to prevent further raids by Indonesian
soldiers and marines from across the bolrder.
On 19 April a group of Irregulars from Indonesia numbering 6 or 7 entered a
Security Force ambush position just olutside Sungei Limau village on Malaysian
soil.
Fire was exchanged by both the Irregulars and the Malaysian patrol which
lasted for about 10 minutes after which the Irregulars disengaged and fled across
the border. As a result of this incident one Irrcg,ular was killed and his body left

52
behind while two or three, who were wounded, were carried back by the others
across the border. One stengun, nine mm ammunition and a grenade were
recovered.
incident on 21 April, 1964
Again on the night of 21 April another group of some 15-20 Irregulars clashed
with another Security Force ambush located close to the position of the first incident
outside Sungei Limau village. Again fire was exchanged by both parties but there
were no casualties on either side. Towards dawn, the Irregulars disengaged and
withdrew across the border to Indonesian territory.
Near Jesselton--28 April, 1964
(Ref report on Violations of Air Space Serial One).
Tuaran is a village approximately 40 miles northeast of Jesselton in the West
Coast Residency of Sabah. South of this place the area is hilly and is covered with
jungle.
During the early hours of the morning of 23 April at about 0300 hours, the
villagers at the third Mile Kiulu Road were awakened by a low flying aircraft.
The aircraft apparently came from a northerly direction, circled once and returned
to the north. When questioned, the villagers stated that the aircraft moved at a
great speed and some thought it made a rustling noise. When shown silhouette
pictures of the aircraft the villagers pointed to a picture of a B26 Invader as
opposed to a helicopter. Some of the villagers stated that they saw parachutes
dropping from the aircraft but it was not until dawn the following morning that
they investigated the area and found parachutes. A search conducted by the Police
in this’ area showed that the parachutes were all of Soviet manufacture and marked
ADRI (Indonesian Army). Some of the parachutes had landed in the tops of trees
90
but very few branches were broken, suggesting that the parachutes were not loaded.
These parachutes were scattered on the side of a hill near Tuaran. Four large
ammunition boxes, thirteen grenade containers and nine 2-inch mortar bombs in
containers were recovered with 22 parachutes. The 2-inch mortar bombs with their
bodies were painted black with yellow and green bands, marked ‘Medsen 57/l’.
There was also a piece of wood found which could have been part of a box used
to contain primers. The ammunition boxes were scattered on the hillside over an
area of about one acre and were empty. There were no footprints near them and
no traces of packing materials. The parachutes had man harness attached, were
white in colour and of an inferior quality. A packing note written in Indonesian
was recovered indicating that they had been packed on 26 March.
It is concluded that the incident was Indonesian inspired and was for psychological
warfare purposes and it appears to be similar to recent events in Malaya.
Subsequent Security Force operations indicated that no enemy was dropped in or
around this area.

MARINE INCIDENTS
27 April, 1964
At about 2130 hours five fisherman from Tanjong Kling in Malacca were fishing
in two boats, MF 2143 and MF 2331, in the area West of Pulau Undan in
international waters off Malacca when they were approached by an lndonesian boat.
This Indonesia boat had a crew of seven lndoncsians armed with rifles and pistols.
Four of the five Malayan fishermen were forced to board the Indonesian craft.
They were then taken by the Indonesians to a place known as “Api Empat Kelip”
(The light with four flashes). The Indonesians demanded $500 from the Malayan
fishermen in order that the latter could continue fishing. The Malayan fishermen
said that they did not have $500 but could pay later. The Indonesians then stole a
fishing craft licence from the Malayans and released them.
I May, 1964
At about 1130 hours four Chinese fishermen from Pulau Ketam, Selangor, were
fishing from two fishing craft in the Angsa Bank area, International waters, when
they were approached by an Indonesian Gunboat No. 910 with a crew of 30,
dressed in jungle green uniforms. The Indonesians robbed the fishermen of
66 fishing nets and about 160 Katties of fish. Total value of stolen property is
$3,400. The crew of the Indonesian gunboat were armed.
3 I May, 1964
At about 1830 hours three fishermen from Malaya were fishing near Pulau Besar,
International waters when they were approached by an Tndonesian gunboat with
a crew of 20 armed Indonesians. The fishermen were instructed to board the
gunboat. Two of the Indonesian crew then went into the fishing craft and stole
cash and rations valued at $175. The fishermen were then allowed to board their
fishing craft and the gunboat then left the scene.
4 I May, 1964
At about 2000 hours an Indonesian gunboat approached Malayan fishing craft
No. MF 2150 from which two Chinese from Malaya were fishing in the area Pulau

PENINSULA AND SINGAPORE
INDONESIAN-INSYLRED BOMB OUTRAGES
BACKGROUND TO RECRUITMENT OF SABOTEURS
1. The Malay Peninsula and Singapore being the nerve centres of the new
federation of Malaysia are the natural targets of the Indonesians in fomenting an
armed revolution.
2. Since June, 1963, a total of about 80 Malaysian Nationals are known to have
received training in sabotage at various bases in Indonesia.
,
3. They received training in guerilla warfare, handling of small arms and sabotage,
political indoctrination, intelligence procurement and personal security before they
were smuggled into Singapore aboard Indonesian trading crafts and sailing vessels
on various dates as from November 1963.
4. One group brought with them into Singapore a fairly large quantity of arms,
grenades, ammunition and explosives. All these arms and explosive were seized by
Singapore Police shortly after they were landed.
5. Three Indonesian saboteurs who came with the leader of the group also brought
with them sten guns, pistols, ammunition and explosives. These arms and explosives
which were smuggled into the Peninsula by car were later recovered by Peninsula
Police subsequent to the arrest of these saboteurs.

54
6. All arms and explosives brought into Singapore arrived in barter vessels and
were concealed in sacks of charcoals and under cargoes of copra and were
conveyed in vessels independent of saboteurs.
7. Interrogations of arrested, trained saboteurs have revealed that the Indonesians
intended to commit their own personnel to act in conjunction with Indonesian
trained Malaysian personnel in accordance with two operational plans, known as
Oprasi ‘A’ and Oprasi ‘B’.
8. Oprasi ‘A’ was to be mounted jointly by the army and navy each pursuing
separate but agreed plans of campaign under the overall command of a Colonel
and with field commanders in Johore and Singapore. The plans for Oprasi ‘A’
involve sabotage of selected targets, the selting up of radio communications from
bases in Singapore and Johore to Jakarta, and the training and organising of
Malayan revolutionaries in South Johore. Saboteurs deployed under Oprasi ‘A’
have explosives and arms at their disposal.
L
9. The detailed plan for Oprasi ‘B’ includes the commitment of 70 paratroops to
operations in the Peninsula after Oprasi ‘A’ has been carried out.
t
SELECTION OF TARGETS FOR SABOTAGE
10. The trained saboteurs, on their return to Singapore and the Peninsula, have
been detailed to destroy important installations and public utilities such as power
94
stations, bridges and military installations. The following are some of the targets
~;~$~~,“,e’,o~~
assigned to them: those on maps
(u) The water pipeline at Woodlands.
(h) The railway bridge at Gemas.
(c) Sabotage in Singapore between 3 and 7 March, 1964, i.e. during the period
of Bangkok Conference.
(d) The Radar Station, Singapore.
(e) Pasir Panjang Power Station, Singapore.
(f) Petroleum refineries in Singapore and Port Dickson (NS).
9
(g) The military camp at Port Dickson.
(h) Kuala Lumpur aerodrome.
l

(i) Gunong Pulai reservoir, Johore.

(i) The main water pipeline from Johore to Singapore.
They were instructed by their leader to explode at random so as to cause public
alarm should they fail to reach their assigned targets.
IMPLEMENTATION OF TASKS ASSIGNED TO SABOTEURS
11. None of these saboteurs are known to have succeeded in attacking targets
specifically assigned to them because of effective preventive measures adopted by
the Government.
ACTUAL INCIDENTS
12. The following bomb explosions in Singapore are however attributed to these
Indonesian trained saboteurs :

Remarks
Nordin Lemon, with the assistance of two
other saboteurs by the name of Abdul
Wahab b. JaHa and Omar Hitam were
responsible. The bomb exploded at a car
parking lot at Katong Park opposite 30
Mayer Road, Singapore. The explosion
lifted a car and overturned it, ripping the
petrol tank and setting the vehicle on fire.
Nordin Lemon admitted this in his statement
to the police. Investigations revealed
that high explosive charge of about 4 lb
was used.
Ahmat bin Junit/Ahmad Toh, with the
assistance of two other saboteurs named
Ahmad Lochin and ‘Ah Kow’, were
responsible. Ahmat Junit has admitted
liability and the complicity of the other
two saboteurs in his statement to the
police. The explosion completely wrecked
a motor car and damaged another one that
was parked nearby. It also killed two
Indian passers-by. Structural damage also
occured in the area, a concrete lintel and
iron gate adjacent to the crater was displaced
and a culvert coping cracked.
Investigations revealed that the explosion
was a detonation of 25 lb of high explosive
charge (TNT). Ahmad bin Junit was
charged in Assize Court, Singapore, and
sentenced to death.
The explosion damaged six rooms on the
ground floor and two on the first floor,
part of concrete surface on the five foot
way and damage to the wall of the rooms
and pillar. It is believed that this was the
work of Indonesian saboteurs. Investigations
revealed that the explosion was

56
caused by gelignite charge of about 12 lb.
An explosion blew off about 10 ft of steel
wire fencing and caused a crater 7 ft in
diameter and 4 ft deep. A window pane
and two lamp stands at a bungalow 400

after arrest. Investigations revealed that
the saboteurs had intended to place the
bomb in the Istana Negara but were
prevented from doing so because of the
presence of police guards. Some 15 lb of
TNT was used.
The explosion caused a crater measuring
about 3+ ft by l$ ft in depth outside the
corner of seafront garden of premises,
28 Nallar Road. Four concrete pillars
were knocked off and six bolted windows
at 25 Nallar Road were thrown open and
three window panes broken. Hussein b.
Mohmood Ali and Kamsani b. Alias, both
Indonesian trained saboteurs, were responsible.
They have confessed that they
were responsible in their statements to the
police. Investigations revealed that the
explosion was caused by a charge of
about 5 lb of TNT set off by a lighted
fuse.
The explosion occurred on a stairs of an
unoccupied block of flats. Tt caused a
small hole, damaged a few window panes
and glass. There are indications suggesting
that it was the work of an Indonesian
trained saboteur. This is yet to be
confirmed. lnvestigations revealed that the
explosion was caused by a 2 lb homemade
bomb.
A person in the name of Kassim b. ?,
believed to be an Tndonesian trained
saboteur, was responsible. Two Tndoncsian
trained saboteurs have confirmed this
but were unable to provide details. The
explosion damaged the roof and part of
the wall of an electricity sub-station.
Investigations revealed that some 20 lb of
high explosive (probably TNT) were used.
The explosion caused a hole 6 ft by 4 ft.

CONCLUSION
18. The design and tactics adopted by the Indonesians are clear and are :
(a) To land and infiltrate groups of trained saboteurs comprising West Irian
Volunteer Returnees and members from certain political groups of the
Malay Extremist Anti-Malaysia elements and other pro-lndonesia elements
in order to set up a Fifth Column to assist landings and to establish
pockets of military intruders in Singapore and Peninsula for the purpose of
formenting an armed revolution in Peninsula and Singapore.
100
(h) An important part of the task of these trained saboteurs/infiltrators is to
sabotage and destroy important installations and public utilities like power
stations, bridges, military installations, etc., in order to disrupt the economic
life and administration as well as the defence of the country and cause
chaos, confusion and disorder.
(c) The number of these Indonesian saboteurs and Malaysians who were
trained by Indonesia to become their agents/saboteurs, and extremist local
supporters, is small but they arc all being strongly backed up by Indonesia
with finance, arms and explosives.
