During an operation in the Korbu Forest Reserve at Fort Legap on 1 June 1979[2], Sergeant Kanang's team encountered an enemy resting camp while tracking Malayan National Liberation Army forces. Despite being outnumbered, Sergeant Kanang, from the 8th Battalion Royal Rangers, initiated an attack on the camp. Two Rangers were wounded in the battle, while five enemy combatants were killed[3][4], and equipment was seized[5]. For his bravery, Sergeant Kanang was awarded the Pingat Gagah Berani, the highest honor for gallantry, by His Majesty the King.
