Battle

On February 25, 1965, a group of Indonesian soldiers ambushed a platoon of 25 soldiers from Singapore's Battalion 2 in Kota Tinggi, Johor. The attack resulted in 8 deaths and 5 injuries. In retaliation, the Malaysian military killed 18 Indonesian guerrillas and captured 11^[1] .

The captured guerrillas claimed they had been misled by their leaders, who promised that the Malay people would welcome them and provide guidance^[2]. Their mission was to establish bases and recruit local support to form the "National Army of the Republic of Malaya" (TNRM) to help free the country from British colonial rule. This was confirmed through leaflets and maps seized from the guerrillas, along with testimony from Chinese Malaysians who were also captured^[3] .
