HISTORY OF PERISTIWA BUKIT
KEPONG, MUAR, JOHOR

FIGURE 1: Kemusnahan Balai Polis Bukit Kepong Akibat Dibakar Pihak Komunis

FIGURE 2: Bukit Kepong Police Station

The Bukit Kepong tragedy was a historic armed battle between the police and the
Malayan Communist Party on February 23, 1950, around 5.00 am just before the Federation
of Malaya gained independence (1948-1963). The altercation occurred near the Bukit Kepong
police station in Bukit Kepong. The fight occurred in the vicinity of the Bukit Kepong Police
Station in Bukit Kepong. This wooden police station is located by the Muar River,
approximately 59 kilometres from Muar, Johor. The incident began before dawn with a
guerrilla attack on the police station by Communists. It ended tragically when the
Communists killed practically all of the officers on duty. The Communists planned to use the
incident to demonstrate what would happen to people who opposed the Communist

7

movement. The Communists hoped that by starting the siege, they would be able to quickly
overcome the police and take control of the Police Station. This is due to various reasons that
benefit the communists, including the advantage of weapons that they have, the amount of
communist membership, and the remote police station's location.

Bukit Kepong Police Station is situated on the banks of Sungai Muar, in a tiny rural
community of around twenty dwellings and stores. By the early 1950s, it had become the
focal point of the local Communist movement. Sergeant Ray Dancey, the Police Station Chief
(KPB) at the time, had served in Palestine and was in charge of the station. During the station
attack, he had long ago been moved and his job had been taken over by Sergeant Jamil Mohd
Shah, something the Communist assailants were undoubtedly aware of.

The Bukit Kepong Police Station incident was the result of communist terrorists'
cruelty under the wartime rule of emergency. The Bukit Kepong Police Station was assaulted
by a squad of 180 communist terrorists on February 23, 1950. The police battled hard in the
event, falling one by one. When two spouses of Marine Police officers were slain, their wives
picked up guns and fought with other officers until they ran out of bullets. 17 officers were
murdered while defending the Bukit Kepong Police Station.

According to a Sinar Harian story published on August 15, 2020, JJ Raj, 99, who was
the Pagoh District Police Chief. He stated that when he arrived at Bukit Kepong, Sergeant
Jamil Mohd Shah, together with his teammates and the head of the area at the time, said the
occurrence of the communist terrorist assault on the Bukit Kepong Police Station was still
fresh in his mind. "We had lunch together and mingled with the cops until now." The
government declared a villagers due to the brutality and crimes committed by communist
terrorists. Then I verified the security of the Bukit Kepong Police Station and presented the
new weapon to Jamil," he said, referring to Malaya's state of emergency in 1948.

According to him, security agents had to be always cautious about communist
terrorists at the time because they were JJ. Raj stated that he spent time patrolling Bukit
Kepong with Sergeant Jamil, Penghulu Ali, and several spies adept in ambushing and
spreading disruption in isolated villages and towns. "I and several members bicycled the day
before the tragedy." "However, we were unaware that 180 communists were hidden nearby,"
he explained. Members of the Pagoh IPD visited the Bukit Kepong Police Station and were
given two barrels of 'Bren Gun' and 'Sten Gun' weaponry for the police station fort.

8

At the beginning of the Emergency, perhaps thousand Communist Terrorists (CT)
were positioned in the bushes. In contrast to this group, which comprised many jungle
combat veterans, the police had only about 8,000 men who had not been trained as
paramilitaries. Thousands more joined the army, but they were also unprepared for jungle
combat. The fact that all of the young people serving in the police and army were able to hold
the line in these conditions tells a lot about their bravery and devotion.

DURING THE CRISIS - THE
EVIDENCE OF PERISTIWA

BUKIT KEPONG, MUAR, JOHOR

THE CHRONOLOGY OF BUKIT
KEPONG'S INCIDENT

On February 23, 1950, there was an armed clash between police and Malayans. The
defenders replied by declaring that they would set fire to the commanders' quarters.
Communists in pre-independence Malaya said they would never surrender and would fight on
and station in the latter hours of the fight. A guerrilla attack on a police station is carried out
by Communists. They dashed out of the smouldering station, unable to endure the heat any
longer. To convince the officers to surrender, they abducted one of the commanders' wives
and threatened her with a pistol. They then launched an attack on the Communists, killing at
least three of them.

When the attack began, the attackers were optimistic that they would be able to beat
the police officers and seize control of the police station in a short amount of time. Several
policemen were killed as the shooting continued, as did two spouses of protecting officers.
After discovering that their husbands had been killed in fighting, the communists managed to
breach their defences and took up arms. They set fire to the place barely five hours after the
first shot was fired.

According to witness statements, over 200 Despite the obstacles, Allahyarham
Sergeant's officers prevailed. Jamil Mohd Shah. The episode resulted in the deaths of 14
police officers and four village guards, when Communists led by Malay Communist
Muhammad Indera refused to surrender despite communist pleas that they lay down their
firearms. Abu Bakar Daud's wife and three of their children, and three auxiliary police
officers.

As the dispute spread among the surrounding communities, reinforcements were sent
from Kampung Tui. A team of Kampung Tui locals led by village leader Ali Mustafa was
escorted by 13 AP/HG (Auxiliary Police/Home Guard). They were attacked by Communists
on their way to the station, which was about a half-kilometre distant. The Communists, who
employed automatic weapons instead of the village group's rifles and shotguns, outgunned
the people. Several village guards were killed or seriously injured. Despite the fact that they
were only stopped halfway, their presence relieved some of the pressure on the Bukit Kepong
defenders and forced a Communist retreat in general.

Due to the uneven situation, Ali Mustafa ordered his soldiers to retreat, while the
others were commanded to defend the perimeter around Bukit Kepong town. The
Communists eventually left after torching the town hall and looting a few shops. At the same
time, a village guard group from Kampung Durian Chondong arrived on a sampan to aid at
Bukit Kepong. Along the way, they were ambushed by Communists. Half of the group's
seven inhabitants survived the journey to Lenga. They arrived at 10 a.m, when the first
reports of the Bukit Kepong police station attack were received.

Bukit Kepong is a secluded settlement on the banks of the Muar River in Johor with
around 20 stores, the most of which are owned by Chinese. Within 3 to 6 kilometres via road,
the community is near to various Malay communities. The quickest method to Bukit Kepong
is to drive to Lenga and then follow the river road to Bukit Kepong, which takes around 2
hours.

Bukit Kepong lost communication with the outside world due to its secluded position.
The residents of this community are straightforward, bold, and self-sufficient. Since the
commencement of the emergency,armed they have had great success in combating
communist terrorists. The most intriguing occurrence took place 18 months ago, when three
Malays battled with three armed communist terrorists. Armed only with knives, they killed
one terrorist, injured and captured another, and forced a third to flee. In other skirmishes,
village guards made up of 40 auxiliary cops and other machete-wielding squads received
'Colonial Police Medals' for their bravery.

The backup police unit collaborates with the Bukit Kepong police department. When
a crowd of communist terrorists (185 individuals) assaulted the Bukit Kepong Police Station
at around 5.00 a.m. on February 23, 1950, three of them were on duty as usual. The police
station's fortifications and sex barracks were instantly put in place to resist severe attacks by
communist terrorists using automatic rifles who surrounded the station. The shootings were
brutal, and communist terrorists urged the cops to surrender but were disregarded.

Fighting ensued, and numerous personnel of the police station were slain, while
non-duty policemen continued to fighranut until one by one they were slaughtered in the sex
barracks. When their husbands were slain, two women of police marines picked up rifles and
fought with other members until they ran out of ammo. Because of the strength of the police
station's protection, the communists began to employ dirty methods. They arrested one of the
police officers' wives, held a pistol to her head, and forced her to order the officers who
remained in the police station to surrender. Officers reacted to the call by stating that they
would not give up and would fight on.

Another officer's wife and daughter were coerced into surrendering, but they resisted
and were prepared to die. Both of them were eventually slain. In the last phases of the

14

four-hour conflict, Communist terrorists set fire to a sex barracks, charring two women and a
kid. Only three police officers, one of them a village guard, are still alive. They had to flee
because they couldn't tolerate the heat from the burning police station building. They raided a
terrorist position, killing three communists. Only one man was able to cross the river while
holding a gun.

All 21 members of the police and auxiliary police have lived up to the police force's
exceptional history and heroism by serving as an example and inspiration to future members.
Nineteen members were slain while protecting the police station.

When the sound of battle was heard in various villages nearby, the village guards
were ready, and 7 of them went to Bukit Kepong with Ali's chief. A bunch of communist
terrorists assaulted them around half a kilometre from Bukit Kepong, and a struggle ensued.
They were successful in their struggle against the communist terrorist outfit. The fleeing
communist terrorist gang received assistance from their compatriots, resulting in the
following violent combat.

Penghulu Ali was compelled to mobilise the injured soldiers to flee, while the others
remained in the Bukit Kepong area. After surviving for two hours, the communist terrorists
fled after torching the chief's office and stealing stores.

The war in Bukit Kepong was a physical setback, but it was a mental and fighting spirit
win. Despite facing an opponent ten times greater than them, the little group was eager and
persistent in preserving their dignity against communist terrorists' entreaties to surrender. The
communist terrorists were also severely injured. This is a triumph not only for oneself, family,
and friends, but also for the country and the nation. By surrendering, police officers can save
their lives and those of their families, but they recognise that they are fighting for something
more important than their own lives. They struggled to prevent Communist terrorists from
colonising their motherland. May Allah's mercy be upon their souls.

In this New Straits Time by Tunku Abdul Aziz on 25 June 2015 reported about the
story of how 13 Malay policemen, supported magnificently by their wives, made a stand
against overwhelming odds holding the enemy off for several hours and how, finally the
exasperated CTs (communist terrorists) showed their usual barbarity and threw men, women
and children, some still alive, into the burning remains of the police station

FIGURE 9:
72 tahun tragedi Bukit Kepong, imbas kembali perjuangan wira-wira negara menentang komunis

This article told about the recall of the struggle of national heroes against the
communists. Many people associate the term Bukit Kepong with the battle of national heroes
against communism. Then this article will picture the tragic patriotic narrative of police
officers protecting the country's honour to the last drop of blood. Even after 72 years, the
violent incident is still vivid in the minds of historians. Indeed, the freedom that we enjoy
now is the product of earlier national heroes' souls and bodies being sacrificed.

FIGURE 10:
#PeristiwaHariIni: Balai Polis Bukit Kepong musnah diserang komunis (1950)

This newspaper tells about a black incident involving the Bukit Kepong Police Station
being destroyed by communists (1950). Bukit Kepong is a lonely village located near the
Sungai Muar curve, approximately 59 kilometres from Bandar Muar, Johor. Because of its
remote position, it became a target for Malayan Communist Party (CPM) insurgents fighting
against the British.

27

FIGURE 11:
mStar ‘Kisah Sedih Bukit Kepong Masih Dalam Ingatan Jamilah’

This article about the tragedy occurred 65 years ago, Jamilah Abu Bakar, 69,
remembers it as if it happened yesterday, and she will not forget the bitter memories as long
as she lives. In the tragedy, her father Corporal Abu Bakar Daud was seriously injured when
communist bullets pierced his chest, while his mother Fatimah Yaaba and his two-year-old
sister Hussin were shot by communists while hugging. Jamilah, who wiped away her tears at
times, said she was only four years old at the time and remembered the heartbreaking incident
as well as what her father had told her.

This online newspaper said Bukit Kepong is not only known for its historical relics,
but it is also rich in pure water, vegetation, and fauna, which attracts environment enthusiasts.
There are many intriguing locations to see, and most of them are set against a magnificent
backdrop of vegetation. As a result, Bukit Kepong, Muar, Johor is one of the most popular
nature vacation locations in the country. According to Bukit Kepong Village Head, Hazali
Mohd Amin, 58, one of the places around Bukit Kepong town that has a history of
policemen's courage in defending the Police Station from the communist invasion on
February 23, 1950 has been the attention of residents and visitors for decades.

CHAPTER 5: EFFECTS OF
PERISTIWA BUKIT KEPONG,

MUAR, JOHOR

30

Effects from Peristiwa Bukit Kepong
There are many effects that we can see from Peristiwa Bukit Kepong. One of them we

can see from children and teens are now more familiar with superhero characters like
spiderman, superman, batman, iron man and captain america. These fictional characters who
display courage, glory with attractive costumes and are capable of extraordinary abilities that
some consider them the most gallant help keep the world peace. They are more exposed to
action movies compared to looking at the 7 that has been happening in Malaysia a long time
ago.

How about the prowess of national security personnel such as police, soldiers and
firefighters also have their own role. This is what the current generation should know. With
this, the Bukit Kepong Gallery which is located about 60 kilometres from the city of Muar
holds various treasures related to the Bukit Kepong Tragedy from 70 years ago. Besides it
being the actual location of the attack about 200 communist terrorists attacked the police
station killing 25 members of the security forces including their family members. It was built
to commemorate the tragedy that occurred at about 5 am, on February 23, 1950, when a
group of about 200 communist terrorists attacked the police station.

Parents especially should play an important role in bringing their children to the
history gallery. They will not only be able to see various artefacts such as firearms, clothing,
the condition of the members ’barracks and some vehicles once used by the security forces,
but also be presented with a variety of information interactively. In this three-storey gallery
building, visitors seem to be taken through the space of time when all the information related
to the police is neatly arranged, while getting various information about the history of the
country.
