On 24 July 1964,KD Sri Selangor, a Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) vessel, was attacked by five members of the Indonesian Navy’s Indonesian Marine Corps(KKO) in the waters of the Singapore Strait near Saint John's Island^[1]. While on routine patrol, the ship detected a small boat just 15 yards away. Despite being ordered to surrender by Commanding Officer Lt. P.K. Nettur, the boat opened fire.

Three crew members were injured, including Leading Seaman Abdul Samad, Senior Cadet Officer Musa Jabar, and Leading Seaman Kweh Onn Cheong^[2]. In response, KD Sri Selangor returned fire with a Bren Gun, killing all five KKO members and sinking their boat^[3].

Following the incident, the ship quickly headed to the Teluk Air Basin (TAB) for medical assistance. The bodies of the KKO members and the injured crew were taken to the British Medical Hospital (BMH) in Singapore.This attack highlighted the tensions during the Indonesia-Malaysia Confrontation^[4].
