Background

Rizal Alih was a former Philippine military policeman of Suluk ethnicity who was trained by the US Marines. He was involved in a major incident that resulted in the assassination of the Mayor, which forced him to face trial in the Philippine Military Court.During the trial, Rizal managed to escape after shooting dead a General who was trying his case. With the help of family and friends, Rizal fled to Sabah, Malaysia, and took refuge on Jampiras Island. Finally, he chose to settle in Kampung Semangat, Sandakan..

Rizal Criminal Activities

In Sabah, Rizal and his group began to engage in various criminal activities, including smuggling, piracy, and robbery at sea. They controlled the smuggling route between Sandakan, Lahad Datu, Kunak, and Semporna. The bravery of Rizal and his group in controlling the area forced the local authorities to take more serious action.

The Malaysian police and military collaborated with the Philippines in the hunt for Rizal, but he managed to escape and continued his criminal activities without stopping

Operation Rambo I and Rizal Success in Evasion

In the early 1990s, the Malaysian military, through the VAT 69, launched Operation Rambo I to capture Rizal. Although several teams nearly succeeded in tracking down Rizal, he managed to evade capture with the help of a network of loyal family and friends. Rizal was alleged to have invulnerability and the ability to change his physical appearance, which made him difficult to capture.

Beggining Operation

In April 1994, a massive operation known as Operation Rambo II was launched by the 69 Commando (VAT69) team to capture Rizal Alih alive. A team of 24 VAT69 members was selected for this mission, known as the Black Cat Team. They underwent intensive training in the mangrove swamps and were divided according to their roles to face possible attacks on Rizal's heavily guarded stronghold.

The VAT69 team worked with the Echo3 Mike team from Kota Kinabalu to gather intelligence on Rizal's location and activities. The information obtained showed that Rizal had built a fort on an island located far from the main coastal area. They had to face various challenges such as disguise and were almost arrested by the local authorities when entering the area.

After successfully gathering information, the VAT69 team began planning an attack on Rizal's fort. The teams were divided into several groups; one to act as snipers, one to hold negotiations, and another to attack the fort directly. When the attack was launched, the VAT69 team faced fierce resistance, but they managed to capture Rizal alive.

Aftermath

After the attack, Rizal Alih was successfully arrested and taken to the Sandakan police station for questioning. He was later sent to the Government of the Philippines to serve his prison sentence for the crimes he committed. Rizal's arrest marked the end of the chaos caused by his criminal activities in Sabah.

Tribute to VAT 69

Although this story is not intended to glorify VAT 69, it is important to remember that this team played an important role in ensuring national security. This mission reminds us of the greatness and courage of the commandos in defending the sovereignty of the country, and their determination to ensure the peace of the people.With this structure, the division of the story becomes more orderly, with the background connecting the main events, the operation describing the actions taken to capture Rizal, and the aftermath showing the impact of Rizal's capture on the security and peace of the country.
