I visited Banding Post / Fort in July 1966, travelling up the Perak Rapids in Police long-boats powered by twin outboard motors. We spent 2 nights there, and were most impressed by the school, the "foot-ball" game the youth played kicking ratan balls over a high net..... similar to shuttlecock, but played with the feet. Met many young girls with large bamboo containers on their backs who climbed down into the Perak river, submerged for 30 seconds or so to fill them, and then climbed the steep hill back to their village.
ReplyDeleteSeveral weeks before our visit, Negrito school from their own village had returned as qualified teachers for the children.
I was presented with a bamboo axe, holding an iron ahead, given them by the Government to replace their stone axe heads, and thus more easily cut down timber for building their huts.
The Senior Police Officer in charge of their support was John Jallah (? Spelling?).
RAF Twin Pioneer aircraft did regular supply drops from RAAF Butterwworth to Banding Post.
Returned on third day with one captured Communist, who was taken to Grik for interation.
