Good uniforms though.

@ZzdeathangelzZ

ironically... the jap uniforms were borrowed from mediacorp, and so were the helmets for the malay regiment hahaha mediacorp has taken a long walk away from period pieces and fantasy genres too. those were their best days, and they are past.

Hi. Nice video. Somewhat sureal. I'm doing a reaserch on these national heros. Wonder if you know where they were hung by their ankles. Is the tree still standing? Thanks again.

askar-askar pejuang zaman dahulu memang sudah berhabis-habisan mempertahankan maruah negara demi tak terjatuh ke tangan penjajah. kita sepatutnya bersyukur kerana amannya negara sekarang dsebabkan oleh mereka. Jadi, peliharalah negara kita dgn sebaik-baiknya.
