00:00Some of the instructors were actually surrendered to the Communists.
00:04They teach us how to survive and how they do their tactics.
00:09They won't understand because at that time we were really fighting an enemy, a Communist.
00:14The Corporate Party in Malaysia, and you know, and then when we found their camps,
00:18they lived in the jungle for so long, they have a way to survive.
00:22They even have like a jungle, a stream, a place to bathe, and they were all seasoned fighters.
00:29Always, it's towards the fringe.
00:31That's why dulu are the, you know, the white areas, the black areas,
00:35the brakes plan to detach or to, you know, because they get support from their sympathizers.
00:42All of them, they've actually moved back to society.
00:46I still remember I went for a course where, it's a course,
00:51and when I was in the UC Splatoon conducted by the intelligence,
00:55but some of the instructors were actually surrendered to the Communists.
00:59They teach us how to survive and how they do their tactics in the jungle.
01:05Moving, using, to deceive us.
01:08It's all about deception. It's all about surviving in the jungle.
01:12Because there's a saying, jungle is neutral.
01:15No friend or fo. Jungle doesn't recognize your friend or fo.
01:18So, you've got to be able to be, they have the ability and skill to move in the jungle.
01:25Okay, and then to survive, but also the ability to track the Communists.
01:31So, sometimes, there's contact with Jorang Lali, right?
01:34So, we have to follow up. So, we have to do this.
01:37Dogs sometimes, even if dogs, they still go away when they go into the rivers,
01:42or sometimes they will, you know, they will disperse.
01:45They will disperse any point. So, a lot of tactics those days.
01:48So, it's beautiful inside.
01:51But, of course, you operate from what you know, and then those sergeants,
01:56or those people in your platoon who've been there long.
02:01They teach me about the other things.
02:04They call it petua.
02:06Petua in the jungle where you need not do this.
02:10Because there are like elements of the, not supernatural, but the unseen beings.
02:16And there are cases. Even when I was a CEO, people get lost.
02:21Sections get lost. Then they appear back.
02:24Then they tell you stories they were following something, and all that.
02:27So, I won't say that I believe, or I don't believe.
02:32But I respect, and I do, if it is not hurtful to me, if they say, say this.
02:39You know, like, what you say, if you want to pass motion,
02:42don't need tolong, tepi, cucu, or whatever, all that.
02:46I mean, I just say it. Right? So, it doesn't...
02:50I do that because there are other things which my sergeant always said to everyone.
02:57At that time, I was a petun-tunan.
02:59No.
03:00We don't go to the back.
03:02We always go to your left foot.
03:05And then don't turn back.
03:07If somebody calls you or what that.
03:09No. Okay.
03:11What?
