bukit kepong remnant Posted by Picasa

On Sunday night , i watched Bukit Kepong the movie for the 10th- 11th time. And everytime i watch it , tears will surely flow unconsciously. The "sebak" feeling is real as the movie depicted a true event that happened pre-merdeka. I was tired after the evening jog and the Newcastle vs Manchester match did not stimulate me enough , so i did my usual customary channel switch and stopped at a familiar scene of a movie i first saw when i was 6 years old.

Peristiwa Bukit Kepong is a reflection of Malay spirit , determination and willing to sacrifice . During this time it was not so obvious about defending the country ; but more to defending their loved ones. The culprits ? haks.. Communist aahh.. and the depiction was real that you really hate those guys during the run of the movie.

Hey.. the movie is kewl. it showed the typical malay fighters with machine gun but with "kaki ayam" !! you'll never see this realism in western movies. even leftenan Adnan could not match the realism shown in Bukit Kepong. It was sad to see how husbands died in front of their wives / children and vice versa. It brought me chills to the spine seeing our policemen shot one by one by the communist.

The movie ended at 130am and i was wide awake. haks.. The merdeka spirit is alive and burning in me. So hang your malaysian flag guys.. wherever.. whenever during this period !!

MERDEKA !!!

p/s Alfatihah to the Bukit Kepong martyrs.
