1991 年,马来西亚和印度尼西亚军队在距离兀兰仅 20 公里的地方进行了一次降落伞降落。它的代号为“Pukul Habis”,在马来语中意为彻底消灭。

官方军事演习名称是“Malindo Darasa 3AB”——马来西亚印度尼西亚的联合部队。Darasa 的意思是空气、海洋和陆地。

这项演习的目的是测试马来西亚和印度尼西亚之间的合作和反应,以防邻国对这两个国家之一产生敌意。  

以下是您需要了解的有关此操作的 5 件事,这与我们息息相关。

一、军演在新加坡26周年国庆庆典上进行

它原定于 1991 年 8 月 9 日在柔佛州举行,同一天新加坡脱离马来西亚成为一个独立的主权国家。

据1991 年居住在居銮(从新加坡乘车 2 小时)的一位匿名马来西亚博客评论者称,这次演习并不是“秘密”,因为它是印度尼西亚和马来西亚之间每两年举行一次的预定演习

当被问及新加坡国庆空投的时间时,马来西亚评论员同意时间不敏感并且可以改变。

不过,他解释说,马来西亚的实地演习是由商业农业用地的可用性推动的。

That means the timing would always be in between planting cycles or when the crops are due for replanting. This is to prevent the military from forking out a high compensation amount for damaged crops.

But why choose to conduct the operation on Singapore’s National Day? There can’t just be one good date for the availability of the commercial agricultural land right?

2. The entire army was activated to be on standby

More than 300 paratroopers from Malaysia and Indonesia were involved in the airborne assault in Kota Tinggi, Southern Johor. There were parachute drops and live firing.

MINDEF triggered a massive open mobilisation on National Day Eve (8 August 1991) and recalled thousands of troops. NSmen were called back. Live ammo and new weapons were distributed. Armour and artillery assets were deployed to staging areas.

Some were mobilised to sit along the edges of the Malaysian railway in Tanjong Pagar with live ammo. Soldiers were also deployed to plant live mines around Singapore.

3. Lee Kuan Yew just passed the baton over to Goh Chok Tong

It was a period of change in Singapore as Lee Kuan Yew stepped down as Singapore’s first Prime Minister in 1990. Goh Chok Tong was formally sworn in on 28 November 1990.

Lee Kuan Yew did not think that Malaysia and Indonesia would actually invade Singapore but regarded these exercises at Singapore’s doorstep as a threat and test of Singapore’s bottom line.

4. First time six codes were flashed on TV for open mobilisation

According to a forum commenter, it was the first time six codes were flashed on TV for open mobilisation.

An open mob is a serious type of mobilisation where all traditional broadcast media outlets like TV and radio will show the mobilisation notice and code words.

Most of the time, there are usually only four code words flashed on TV. So when you see six codes on TV, you can be sure that something serious is brewing.

5. It’s a hush-hush matter

This matter was never well-publicized. It’s probably for diplomatic reasons but it’s an important learning lesson for Singaporeans. Especially towards those who feel strongly that our defence budget should be cut.

We should take the security of our nation seriously.

In a nutshell…

The name of the military exercise, the choice of the drop zone and the date of the airdrop on were definitely provocative. While we enjoy warm ties with our neighbouring countries, there are always undercurrents in our bilateral relations.
