After working on the film Malbatt: Misi Bakara since 2018, director Adrian Teh is relieved that the film will finally be released at cinemas nationwide on Aug 24.

Based on the real events that took place in 1993 at Mogadishu, Somalia, the war movie tells the story of the 19th Battalion Malay Regiment (or Malbatt) that was deployed to rescue American soldiers who were trapped there.
