History of the 1st Rangers (Formerly Sarawak Rangers)
Saturday, September 11, 2021
In the history of the Malaysian Armed Force, no single Infantry Unit has killed more enemy than the 1st Rangers. Just an update, some bright bulb wanted to have the 1st Rangers which was in Johore Bahru, become a ceremonial battalion, just like the 1st Battalion Royal Malay Regiment in Kuala Lumpur.
What they did is transferred around a hundred soldiers from the 1st Rangers in Johore to 6th Rangers in KL, likewise transferring around a hundred soldiers to Johore. They exchanged histories and the colors. Viola! 6th Rangers becomes 1st Rangers and 6th Rangers becomes 1st Rangers. This happened this year, 2016. Now they might change the Corps Home from Ipoh to KL. A couple of pen pushers sacrificed honour, blood, sweat, tears and history. They threw that into the garbage bin for expediency and cost cutting.
They could have moved the whole battalion to KL. Negating history has finally arrived. This is what happens when pen pushers rise in the ranks.
