PAGOH: This district is home to one of the nation’s bloodiest battle during the Malayan Emergency when an armed encounter occurred at the Bukit Kepong police station when it was surrounded and seiged by almost 200 communists in a pre-dawn assault.
However, those who died fighting on February 23, 1950 have since been immortalised in history, literature, songs, poems and even movies as they never backed down when faced with overwhelming odds and fought till they died.
