The most memorable and unforgettable experience was Lahad
Datu Mission. I was involved in the very first deployment after the
Royal Malaysian Police handover their duties and responsibilities
to Armed Force. I was given order to occupy one of the zone at
Lahad Datu. During the movement, my troop were ambushed
twice and we had to conduct counter attack against the enemy. I
had to withdraw from moving further to ensure all my men are
safe.
