Shot and hacked but he lived to tell


INSP. Mohamad Hasnal Bin Jamil showing his cheque that he got it from YBHG. Dato' Seri S.Samy Vellu during handing over donation ceremony to the families of slain policemen in Lahad Datu.

SEMPORNA: On March 2, 2013, Special Branch officer Insp Mohd Hasnal Jamil entered the notorious water village of Simunul, Semporna, with a group of about 60 men to hunt down Sulu gunmen following a tip-off that they were hiding there.

He was not to know that it would turn out to be a nightmare for him. He was shot and hacked with a sharp object – but lived to tell the tale.
