14  FEB 1942 ...Valentines  Day  @  RAMD  Lieutenant  Adnan  bin Saidi  and  his  Men ... "A  Kekasih"...

These heroes set an example of steadfastness and endurance which 

will become a great tradition in the Regiment and an inspiration 

for the future generations.

Between 13 and 14 February 1942, Singapore witnessed one of its fiercest battles ever known in her history. Amongst those who fought valiantly in that Battle for Pasir Panjang and lost their lives was a 27 year-old infantry officer, Lieutenant Adnan bin Saidi. Adnan Saidi and his 42-man contingent from the 1st and 2nd Battalion of the Malay Regiment fought fearlessly to defend Pasir Panjang Ridge. The ferocious fight put up by the Malay Regiment came for special mention in Lieutenant General A.E. Percival’s Despatch on the Operations of Malaya Command from 8th December 1941 to 15th February 1942.

The values that we have learnt from Lieutenant Adnan are : - A brave person - A good leader - Respect one another -Willing to die for own country - Perseverance - Determine - Fight for what is right - Lookout for one another - Fair - Never compare one another. He adopted a motto for his platoon - death before dishonour.

The heroic patriotism of Lieutenant Adnan bin Saidi and his Malay Infantry Brigade will be hard to forget. Those spirits will be our common memories of the past and an inspiration for our future generations. May ALLAH forgives their sins and makes them rest in peace till Day of Judgement.. Amin.. All praise and thanks are due to ALLAH s.w.t., and peace and blessings be upon His Messenger Rasulullah s.a.w. Amin.. Ya Rabbal Al Amin.. 

 

p/s   dari  menyambut sambutan yang tiada kena mengena dengan kita lebih baik pada 14 Februari kita sedekahkan Al-Fatihah kepada Leftenan Adnan Saidi  dan rakan2 nya yang telah terkorban pada  hari ini demi mempertahankan maruah bangsa dan tanahair...Semoga roh mereka dicucuri rahmat.... Amin.
