THE blood spilled by those who rallied to defend the country (then called Malaya) against communist terrorists during the Malayan Emergency will never be forgotten.
With the completion and opening of the Malayan Emergency Monument and Gallery at Sungai Siput Estate, it is the hope of the Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) Perak to not only commemorate, but to preserve this place of historical interest.
