Memories of Jabidah

They are recruited
for Operation
Merdeka,
trained to kill
their brethrens  

Aware that is to
attack Sabah

They refused!

They were killed and
tortured 
on the island named
Corregidor 

That event inscribed
as Jabidah Massacre 
then reported on 18
March 1968
 
Willingly sacrificed
their lives to avoid
use
on attacking Sabah
on the order of the
Philippines

Indeed,
their sacrifice
shall not be a
waste!
