all rights respected to the owners of this animation. THE BATTLE OF BUKIT CHANDU AND ALLAHYARHAM LEFTENANT ADNAN BIN SAIDI AND HIS MEN. Retold using the wonders of animation. Leftenant Adnan's famous words to his men were. BIAR PUTIH TULANG, JANGAN PUTIH MATA. DEATH, BEFORE DISHONOUR.
Battle of Pasir Panjang
Adnan led a 42-strong platoon from the Malay Regiment in the defense of Singapore against the Japanese invaders. The soldiers fought at the Battle of Pasir Panjang, at Pasir Panjang Ridge in the Bukit Chandu (Opium Hill) area on February 12-14, 1942. Although heavily outnumbered, Adnan refused to surrender and urged his men to fight until the end. They held off the Japanese for two days amid heavy enemy shelling and shortages of food and ammunition. Adnan was shot but carried on fighting. The battle went down in history for consisting the only recorded hand-to-hand combat between the allied forces and the japanese army during the battle for singapore. According to survivors who managed to escape the carnage after the battle was lost, the wounded Adnan was taken prisoner by Japanese soldiers, who tied him to a cherry tree and bayoneted him to death. The japanese forbids anyone from bringing down his body. His remains was never found even after the war.
Because of his actions at Bukit Chandu, Adnan is currently considered by Malaysians and Singaporeans today as a hero. He is also credited as the soldier who caught the disguised Indian troops' marching error.
When Singapore surrendered, the Japanese Kempeitai attempted but failed to find and murder Saidi's family in revenge of Bukit Chandu.
Kent Ridge Park, close to the site of the battle now bears a plaque in commemoration of Lt Adnan Bin Saidi. A museum at Bukit Chandu stands in memory of the bravery of Malay Regiment soldiers. This regiment would later become the Royal Malay Regiment of the Royal Malaysian Army.
The Malay Regiment showed what esprit de corps and discipline can achieve. Garrisons of posts held their ground and many of them were wiped out almost to a man. - Lieutenant General Arthur Percival.
