'LEGACY OF HEROES'

Sapa pula yang telefon ni! Pada 23/11 jam lebih kurang 1250, saya terima satu 'miss call' daripada 03-62013150,  nombor yang tiada ada dalam directory 'contacts'. Jawabnya, saya pun daillah nombor tersebut. Saya memang tak kenal sipenerima atau syarikat tersebut - Rajawali Aerospace Sdn Bhd. Menurut sipenerima, bos beliau mahu berbicara dengan saya. Siapa? Jawabnya ...Brig Jen Dato' Richard Robless. Sudah pasti saya mengenali beliau...Bos saya ketika beliau menjawat KESEK (Ketua Sekriteriat), DTU. Saya pula ketika itu PT2 Sek2. Tugas utama saya ialah menjadi setiausaha kepada Jawatankuasa Panglima Tentera Udara.

Ha...macam mana 'out of the blues' xbos nak cakap dengan saya? Apabila dihubungkan kepada beliau, Dato' menjemput saya ke upacara 'LEGACY OF HEROES' bermula pada 12/12/2011 di Air Movement, TUDM Kuala Lumpur.  Aturcara adalah seperti berikut...


Menurutnya,  beliau menjemput para xkrew Nuri seramai mungkin bagi menjayakan acara tersebut. Wow...kami HEROES!! Kalau tiada aral melintang, saya akan pergi, Insya-Allah. Saya anggapkan ini sebagai 'reunion' dan sungguh berharap ramai veteran akan hadir.

Sebentar tadi terima panggilan daripada Lt Kol Frank Chong TUDM (B) yang memaklumkan, tarikh untuk 'old heroes'  hadir ialah 14/12 dan telah disahkan oleh staf Rajawali Aerospace.

Dato' Richard....Terima kasih.

  5. Salam Tn Nor Ibrahim,

    Congratulations for the invitation as the guest of honour !Hopefully this is extend to your other team brothers as well - yes, a Nuri Reunion(macam alumni Uni - so this is Alumni NURI).Its good that this event be materialised often and brought known to the public too,to attend and listen to the commendable speakers - ex-servicemen with the vast experiences like you -civilians to listen and learn from what it took and meant to be a hero of the nation. Its not easy as ABC ! Moreover, its time for the tunes of the so-called unsung heroes be heard, treasured and cherished...and not be forgotten - gone and bygone...

  7. nur_emyinda12,

    Thank you. I'd e-mailed this posting to Dato' Richard suggesting that he 'transforms' the event to a reunion of heli crew.

    I'd also sent an sms to a staff officer of the RMAF. I suggested that RMAF Museum organise a sort of 'forum' on the roles of the helicopters during the insurgency era. Malaysia is fortunate that most of these veterans are still alive to tell their stories. It shouldn't be confined to aircrew only; all those involved, eg, ground crew, Air HQ, air rescue team members, footsloggers, sappers, etc, etc. This activity might attract rakyats to visit the museum & enlightened them on the ruthlessness of the communist terrorists. Just wait & see for the outcome.

  9. Salam semua

    Kita boleh cadang macam2 itu dan ini,persoalannya siapa kita eh? the bottom line is this prog will be organize by Rajawali Aerospace it up to them who they wan to invite,the heroes ke, crook ke we don't know.The latest info, crew from present nuri aircrew sahaja yang di jemput plus Mejor Nor Ibrahim as guest of honour.We x-crewman from 1st batch of Nuri crew, 70's and 80's so far none, just wait if there is any,if we are not invited that's mean we are not "HEROES".Tq

  10. Mesti ada udang disebalik batu!
    Please tell Datuk Richard Robless, Sikorsky and the RMAF that a significant number of very senior earlier Nuri pilots and crewmen have NEVER been mentioned about the above occasion, let alone getting invited! What "legacy of heroes" are we talking about?
    May be Rajawali and Sikorsky are too "kedekut" and do not have sufficient budget to invite some very key ex-Nuri crews! My friends, ex-crewmen, who are we without Tan Sri, Dato and "nuri hero" titles?
    I hope and pray Malaysia WILL NOT buy anything from Sikorsky, Amin.
