*Cry for Recognition: The Neglected Welfare of Sarawak Border Scouts*
Dennis Along collaborated with FB operator History Of Miri-Chang Yee to re-report the history of Sarawak Border Scouts (Special Task Force that guarded Sarawak's border security in 1964). In 1964 Sarawak Border Scouts was established through an understanding between the British-backed Commonwealth government and the newly established Malaysian government. This team is made up of local children who act to protect the security of Sarawak's borders from the threat of Kalimantan guerrillas. The team has received paramilitary training before being allowed to engage in assignments. Their greatest service was curbing the Malaysia-Indonesia confrontation and curbing communist influence from North Kalimantan. According to Dennis, many members of the Border Scouts team have died and those who are still alive are 70 to 80 years old. Their welfare is not taken care of. They were not given a pension, no special allowance, no land or house. It's more unfortunate that there are members of the Border Scouts who are still not given Malaysian/Sarawak citizenship. We feel called to stop this cruelty and neglect and we call on the community to report to us if they have family members who have served with the Sarawak Border Scouts. We will write down their history and report to the government of Sarawak and Malaysia so that they are given due recognition. We also want people to report to us if they have any family members who were paramilitary volunteers who were assigned from 1941 to 1946 to fight the Japanese invasion at that time. We feel they should also be appreciated and given the remuneration and appreciation they deserve. Many residents of Baram sacrificed their lives to preserve the peace of the country - Dennis Along said.
