Uncle Keith Gaughan is an old soldier. At one time he served in British military bases in Singapore in the late 1960s and before that in Camp Paradise, Kota Belud. Thats how he met my aunt. Su Kim. During the 1950s and 1960s Malaya had a communist insurgency problem. Between 1962 and 1966 Indonesia under the leadership of Sukarno initiated a Ganyang (crush) Malaysia policy. All these troubles required armed intervention from UK and Commonwealth forces. Today Malaysia is at peace but we should not forget the contributions of foreigners in the country.
