Fallen Heroes

In conjunction with the Merdeka month, this capture is to remind Malaysia's younger generation on the sacrifices made by the Malaysian security forces in combating the Communist Insurgency during the 60s and the 70s.

 

Malaysia is the only nation in the South East Asia that defeated the communist while numerous neighbouring countries such as Vietnam were still battling it out and was eventually overun by the communist forces at that time.

 

With the Berlin wall came tumbling down, slowly the world is beginning to set aside political ideologies and work for the betterment of their people in their respective countries.

 

War is hell, it causes hardship and sufferings for non combatants and most of all our children. What if there's war and nobody turns up!!!!...That would be an assuring thought to ponder!...Happy Merdeka Day!!!
