This is a video using motionbox on the Seventh Rangers (Mech). Previously had some glitches. Had it fixed only recently.
If any Malaysian ever wants to join a fighting unit, a good choice would be the Rangers. The Rangers are unique in the sense that they have many races with different cultural values, when these diverse values come together they become a formidable fighting force. The Rangers used to strike terror into the hearts of her enemies during the long fight against the Communist Insurgents.They have served with valour and courage aganist the Indons and the Communists. Many have laid down their lives, with some maimed for life. Their motto, "AGI IDUP AGI NGELABAN", which means "While there is life there is fight". Their place of birth was Sarawak.
Like the saying, "a picture paints a thousand words", well this clip shows a bit about 7th Rangers (Mechanized). This unit is one of the most blooded unit in the Malaysian Armed Forces. It is very steeped in tradition. For example when 15 soldiers were killed in a vehicular ambush in 1972, the enemy was relentlessly pursued, killed and all the weapons captured from the dead soldiers were recovered. The last weapon recovered was in 1986. The Officers and soldiers of this unit are a very special breed of warriors. They served with distinction in Somalia and Cambodia. In Somalia they were under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter, which meant "peace enforcement". Their history can be found here....
