An ode to the brave police at Sabah
by Dr. Chen Man Hin
13.3.2013
(In memory of the eight policemen who died in the line of duty on the beach at Sabah)
INTO THE LONELY SHORE AT SABAH
CAME THE SULU RAIDERS
WHO WERE ALLOWED TO ESCAPE INTO THE DARKNESS.
THEN CAME THE POLICE BRIGADE
INTO THE SCENE OF DEATH.
FORWARD THE POLICE BRIGADE
INTO LONELY VILLAGES.
FORWARD THE POLICE BRIGADE
THEIRS NOT TO MAKE REPLY
THEIRS NOT TO REASON WHY
THEIRS BUT TO DO AND DIE
WITHIN THE VILLAGES OF DEATH.
DID NOT EIGHT POLICE DIE?
