As they were attached in small numbers to the Commonwealth Forces during the First Emergency 1948 - 1960, coupled with the fact that they were para-military, until they were reformed into Sarawak Rangers (Malayan Unit) in 1953, they were little-known. Their prowess in the battlefields, experts in tracking ability and the numerous bravery awards they had won, made them stood out.Robert Rizal Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520830733695053151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-57472834679584102282009-07-15T22:49:25.148-07:002009-07-15T22:49:25.148-07:00Saya memang kagum dan salute sama Iban Trackers!

The plan to set up the Memorial and bringing back the remains of the Trackers and Sarawak Rangers to Sarawak is still at an early stage. On 31 July we are launching the fund raising campaign in Kuching.

I'll need to read more about the bravery of the trackers here before I could comment any further. But I do feel now that such a re-writing of Malaysian history need to be done regarding the true contribution of these men from Sarawak fighting in Semenanjung during those decisive years of Malaysian history.Probably what you have done is a very important step towards a re-interpretation of their role because they seemed to be the frontline fighters and deserve a better recognition and a proper placement in the annals of Malaysian history especially as freedom fighters in the eradication of communists terror and the downfall of Semenanjung to communism if not for the excellent services rendered by the Sarawak Trackers/Rangers.Mahmud Yussophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014584046024863994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-7905951025818475862009-07-06T05:07:06.186-07:002009-07-06T05:07:06.186-07:00Remaung,

Look at the number of SPs and PGBs we have compared to the others.<br /><br />God willing, after what I am about to do - setting a Heroes Memorial and to bring back all the remains of the Iban Trackers and sarawak rangers from Semenanjung and relocate them in this Memorial, I could do more for those who are still alive.Robert Rizal Abdullahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10520830733695053151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2587173796684748615.post-83860424884982883142009-07-06T04:32:16.632-07:002009-07-06T04:32:16.632-07:00Colonel Robert Rizal Sir,
Congratulations for you...Colonel Robert Rizal Sir,<br /><br />Congratulations for your effort to track some of the Iban trackers that are still alives.<br />You mentioned in your article about the number of Iban trackers served the British Army during emergency about 1000 of them ? Where are they now ?<br />During my military day, I only knew that Tracker Awang anak Rawang was awarded with galantary medal by the Queen. But you had mentioned that few Iban trackers beside Temenggong Jinngut were awarded with the galantary Medals by the Queen. Can we track all of these trackers? What have the government done to them ?<br />If BN government can pay RM1.2K to all the ex-policemen that served in the 60s, why can't they do the same to these trackers.<br />Efforts must be made to consolidate the real experiences of these trackers. If the history of Rosly Dhoby and ex-Sarawak TYT(both were criminals) can be re-written why no effort have been made to these warriors?<br />When I read your short article on Temenggung Jinggut, I felt proud about it, especially being myself an Iban. <br />Nowadays the perception of the (malay) generals against the Iban soldiers have changed. For them Iban soldiers only can creat trouble (I hope these generals served the services in the 70s and 80s) . I pray to God so that one day Malaysian Soldiers will go to the real war so that our real bravery prevails....thus change the perception of these (idiot) Malaysian generals on Iban Soldiers.<br />I wrote one article entitles Iban Dayak Has No Place in The Armed Forces in my blog ,http://www.bukittunggal.com.<br />Last but not least, keep up your good work..Keep Motivate our Serving brothers in Malaysian Armed Forces with your article on the Iban Warriors/ Trackers.<br /><br />Mupok aku<br />"Agi Idup Agi Ngelaban"Remaung Enam Renjerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14935901679276059960noreply@blogger.com
