History Asia - Al-Maunah : The Malaysian Arms Heist part 1/4

It was Malaysia's largest military weapon heist that turned into a hostage crisis and a 5-day standoff with the police and army.

On July 2nd 2000, 15 men disguised as high-ranking army officers stole over 100 military-grade weapons and thousands of ammunition rounds from two Malaysian army camps. Police suspected the weapons were for regional terrorist groups. But not far from the crime scenes, Sauk villagers reported gunfire behind their school.

Two Special Branch police officers were sent to investigate but ended up as hostages instead. In the unfolding crisis, more hostages were taken, two of them tortured and murdered.

Malaysian police and army intelligence revealed that Al-Ma'unah, an Islamic deviationist cult, were responsible for the heist and hostages. Over an arduous 5-days, psychological warfare was used to try to persuade the cult to surrender peacefully. But an ultimatum from Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad to end the hostage crisis by Day 5, leads to a police-army confrontation with Mohamad Amin, leader of Al-Ma'unah.

With two hostages already dead, it was up to police commando Abdul Razak bin Mohd Yusof and Army Field Commander Zaini Mohamad Said to complete their rescue and recovery mission with no further casualties.

Ko type ejaan jeneral pun tonggang terbalik. Nak kate ni konspirasi. Ape kejadahnye kerajaan nk bg jeneral zaini tu naik?? Dah mcm xde pegawai kanan ATM lain ke yg nak dinaikkan?? Utk pengetahuan ko, time peristiwa Al-Maunah ni, zaini tu rank dia leftenan jeneral n jawatan dia panglima medan tntera darat. Lps abes ke peristiwa ni smpai lah zaini pencen tahun 2001, zaini still lg rank yg sama n jawatan yg sama. Takdek pun dia dinaikkan pangkat ke jeneral penuh 4 bintang..bodoh!

[agungpekalongan]

@rotijohn90 apa yg ko nak baran sgt??? dy nak pcaya o x, ad masalah ngn ko k haaa????

di libya, rakyat memberontak melawan muammar gaddafi dan menang; mereka digelar perwira.

di m'sia, rakyat memberontak melwan mahathir dan kalah; mereka digelar penderhaka..

see the difference? history is written by the victors and the losers just stand small
