EXPLANATORY NOTES

The purpose of this assignment is to identify and analyse the Information about Bukit Kepong police station guerrilla attack. Therefore, collecting
information was spread into articles, pictures, clipped newspapers, and everything that researchers can find in the Online Finding Aids (OFA).

Although it was not an easy task because the materials related to Bukit Kepong police station guerrilla attack mostly were unavailable on the OFA
web, our group members did manage to find it with outer web sources, which is the historical website that provided information about tragedy.

On February 22 and 23, 1950, communist terrorists attacked Bukit Kepong. The Malayan Communist Party was a subject of antagonism on the
part of the British authorities. For British and Gurkha soldiers who are jammed into train stations, life starts to feel terrifying and frantic.
Communist assaults on both automobiles and villagers can happen at any time. The atmosphere of strife affected North Johor before to

independence. There was established a curfew. Bakri and Yong Peng neighbourhoods were known as communist strongholds. Lastly, Even though
not all of the images are included in the National Archive of Malaysia's online finding aids, we felt that they were still sufficient to demonstrate
that Malaysia has a hidden hero who might be overlooked by the next generation.
This finding aids book aims to help researchers to find and obtain the desired materials easily. All the materials are listed according to the type of

collection that document simple inventory and description of selected materials. The content of this finding aids is based the materials available in
the National Archives of Malaysia. . The list of available materials include records that related to a collection of types of images, videos,
broadcast, television series, commercials, cartographic records and many more.

The site of the Bukit Kepong Police Station
The Bukit Kepong Incident was an armed encounter that took place on February 23, 1950 between the Police
set on fire by communist terrorists Federation of Malaya and the Communist Party of Malaya during the Malayan Emergency. This conflict took place
in an area around the Bukit Kepong Police Station in Bukit Kepong. The wooden station was located on the banks of
the Muar River about 59 km from the town of Muar, Johor. The incident began just before dawn when the
communists launched a guerrilla attack on the police station, killing almost all the police stationed there. When they
began the siege, the attackers firmly believed that they could defeat the police and take control of the police station
in a short time. This is due to several factors in their favour: their superior armament and numbers, and the station's
relative isolation. According to eyewitnesses, about 200 communists attacked, led by Muhammad Indera, a Malay
communist. Against all odds, the cops, led by Sgt. Jamil Mohd Shah, refused to surrender despite repeated calls from
the communists to lay down their arms. Several officers were killed as the gunfire continued, and two wives of the
defending officers took up arms when they discovered their husbands had died in combat urge surrender. The
defenders replied that they would never surrender and continued to fight. Another officer's wife (Fatimah Yaaba) and
her daughter were also forced to do the same. His refusal led to his execution. In the last hours of fierce fighting, the
communists set fire to the barracks and the officers' station. Two women and their children were burned in the
marriage rooms. At that time only 3 policemen plus a city guard lived. They ran out of the burning station because
they couldn't stand the heat. Then they stormed the communist position and killed at least three of them.

During the attack, reinforcements were sent from Kampung Tui while the battle echoed through
several of the nearby villages. A group of villagers, led by village chief Ali Mustafa from Kampung
Tui, was escorted by 13 AP/HG (Auxiliary Police/National Guard). They were ambushed by the
communists on the road half a kilometre from the train station. The villagers were outmatched by the
communists, who used automatic weapons instead of rifles and shotguns held by the villagers. Several
guards from Village were injured and killed. Though he stopped halfway, his presence relieved some
of the pressure from Bukit Kepong's defenders and forced a general Communist retreat. Due to the
unbalanced situation, Ali Mustafa ordered his guards to retreat while the rest were asked to defend the
perimeter around the city of Bukit Kepong. The communists finally withdrew after burning down the
municipal office and robbing some shops. At the same time, another group of village guards from
Kampung Durian Chondong came to Bukit Kepong on a sampan to render assistance. On the way they
were also ambushed by the communists. About half of the 7 villagers in the group survived to
continue to Lenga. They got there at 10:00 am, and that's when the Bukit Kepong Police Station
received the first news of the attack. Only about five hours after the first shot, the communists
managed to break through their defences and set the place on fire. Then they retreated into the jungle.

. mukim, or tiny village, consisting of 20 thatched-roofed dwellings, some of which belonged to Chinese settlers and
were positioned on a cliff overlooking the Muar River. The settlement is connected to other Malay communities two
to three miles inland by narrow lanes and tyres. There are only a thousand people living there.

For instance, British and Gurkha soldiers alike are crammed into train stations. Some of them have recently returned
from battle or are on duty in a variety of locations. Clearly visible as the train approaches the station is the team
made up of the British and Gurkha soldiers. Many new British and Gurkha soldiers returned from security operations
targeting communists in the north when Othman Yusof and his wife Limah arrived at Kluang station in their journey
to Pagoh for their duties. Three years later, the Third World War began exactly on schedule. The impact is still
palpable and recent in memory. The British tried to impose the Malayan Union after regaining control, but the
Malays were more accepting of the resistance than the Malays due to the policy's denial of kings' sovereignty and
privileges. They started protesting and clamouring for an independent state. The British government had to deal with
its hostility to the Malayan Communist Party in light of that circumstance.

https://fim.uitm.edu.my/

HISTORY OF BUKIT KEPONG

There is suddenly a group of people who want power immediately in the hustle and bustle of England as they cope
with their current issue. Terrorist communist movements peaked; they engaged in combat and militant acts. violent
behaviour Through the militant section, the Malayan Communist Party succeeded in having the British declare it to
be an illegal political party. They engaged in violent behaviour through illegal operations after the ban. Life starts to
feel scary and hectic. Government-imposed limitations that prevent free mobility are another factor adding to this
pressure. Communist attacks can occur at any time, both in the village and on attacks against vehicles used for public
transportation like buses and cars.

farming, tapping rubber, gathering rattan along the border of the forest, and fishing for fish and lobster in canals and
ACCESSIONING NUMBER: wetlands. There are no modern means of communication. There are no tar roads or red dirt embankments. The Muar
1998/0009604W River is their primary route of communication. If necessary, they use boats to transport their income from Muar to
Pekan Lenga.

FIGURE 5 HISTORY OF BUKIT KEPONG
Gurkha Soldiers in Malayan Emergency.
Johor before independence was influenced by the environment of conflict. There is constant communist aggression.
A curfew was put in place. The neighbourhoods of Bakri and Yong Peng were noted as communist hotspots. The
communist movement grew more powerful every day, and they never gave up hope of gaining control either freely or
forcibly. They are constantly looking for ways to increase their influence. They move swiftly if they spot an opening.
As Bukit Kepong is a tranquil area with no indication that the CPM will move there, the government's decision to
remove all police officers from Bukit Kepong created space for the CPM to increase its influence and they were able
to draw some village youngsters. People who were impacted by the communist struggle were educated there, at the
Chinese idol of Bukit Kepong. Everything is influenced by communism. History indicates that the CPM's primary
emphasis area is the state of Johor. Miller (1972: 32) noted that before it was publicised nationwide, the declaration
of emergency had already started in some parts of Johor and Perak.

policemen for control and other duties, making 22 members in all. Thirteen wives and children of the members lived
in the barracks at the back of the hall. The difficult communication system is the main reason for the deployment of
the marine police force there. In fact, the main transportation to Bukit Kepong is by boat down the Muar River.

two surviving police wives joined the fight when they found their husbands killed during the fighting.

Around 5.00 a.m., the Auxiliary Police team, along with a group of villagers fully armed with rifles and shotguns,
mobilised from Kampong Jawa and moved to provide assistance, led by Penghulu Ali bin Mustaffa. They were
ambushed by communists tasked with preventing outside assistance, and some villagers, as well as the communists,
were killed in the fighting. The communists also destroyed both Bren Gun positions around this time.

Mariam Ibrahim, the wife of spy Mohamad Jaafar, was apprehended by communists around 7 a.m. Mat Indera, the
communist group's leader, is said to have forced Mariam to make a surrender request to the police, which was
ignored by Jamil. Fatimah Yaaba and her son Hassan are currently detained and forced to call the police to surrender.
Those who survived refused to give up and fought until the bitter end. Mariam was injured and Fatimah was killed
when they refused to surrender. Fatimah's husband, spy Abu Bakar Daud, who worked as a boat driver on the Muar
river, also fought against the communists until he was injured while defending his boat after being shot in the chest
and hand.

DURING THE EVENT

In the last moments of that great battle, the Communists set fire to the Officer Barracks and the Police Station as a
whole. Two women and their children were also burnt in the officer's barracks. At that time, only three policemen
and a village guard were still alive. They rushed out of the burning hall and stormed the Communist position, killing
at least three members of the terrorist group who tried to stop them. Meanwhile, the Communists continued to shoot
those who tried to flee from the burning police station. And at this point, the villagers of Durian Chondong on the
west side sent a boat to Lenga to inform the authorities of the attack.

The late Sergeant Jamil Mohd Shah was one of the police officers who led his team against the communists led by

1998?0009612W the determination and spirit of struggle that was endured by the late, has raised the spirit of his men to refuse to give up,
despite repeated calls by the communists for them to give up. At exactly 4:30 am the next day, the terrorists blew their
trumpets for the first time before releasing a volley of gunfire at Bukit Kepong Police Station. As soon as he became
aware of the matter, Jamil and 20 of his members took their respective places before returning the maddened fire of
hundreds of communist terrorists. Jamil and his members took refuge from the bullets coming from inside the fortress at
the train station. They fought for almost two hours at a time. Despite the enemy's strength being almost seven times
greater than theirs, Jamil and his men ignored the situation. With limited weapons and ammunition, they still try to
survive lest the station fall into enemy hands. At around 6:30 am, the communist terrorists blew their trumpets a second
time, demanding that the police officers surrender. Despite realizing that many of its members had been killed and badly
injured, Jamil still refused to give up but continued to shout. Angry at Jamil's holy screams, the communist terrorists blew
their trumpets for the third time. Apparently the blow was a signal to tell his comrades to step up the attack. 2 wives of
policemen also fought when they found out that their husbands had been killed.

At about 7:00 a.m., communist terrorists began changing tactics. They arrested the wives of policemen, Miriam Ibrahim
wife of Constable Mohammad Jaafar, Fatimah Yaaba wife of Constable Abu Bakar Daud and her son Hassan. The
communists forced them to appeal to the police to surrender. The policemen ignored this dirty tactic and continued to
fight to the end. As a result, communist terrorists injured Miriam while Fatimah was killed. Meanwhile, Fatimah's
husband, Constable Abu Bakar Daud was injured in the chest and hand while defending his boat.

As we all know, Finding aids are tools that assist users in locating information within a particular record group, collection, or series of archival materials. Published and
unpublished inventories, container and folder lists, card catalogues, calendars, indexes, registers, and institutional guides are all examples of finding aids. Finding aids are
formal publications that assist a user in locating information about a record group, collection, or series of archival materials. In this matter, OFA has helped us find
information on our topic, the Bukit Kepong event. The Bukit Kepong event is a historical event in Malaya.
The battle in Bukit Kepong was a defeat in physical terms but gave a victory in terms of mental and fighting spirit. The small force was enthusiastic and tenacious in
defending their dignity from the intrigues of communist terrorists to surrender despite having to face an enemy that was 10 times stronger than them. The communist
terrorists also suffered numerous injuries. This is a victory not only for oneself and family and friends, but for the country and the nation. By surrendering, police officers
can save their lives and their families' lives by surrendering, but they realize that they are fighting for something more important than their lives. They fought to save their
homeland from being colonized by Communist terrorists. May Allah shower His mercy on their souls.
