July 2,
2000 on a
Malaysian Army Reserve camp in the early hours of the morning and stealing weapons from the armoury. The group was later cornered in the village of
Sauk,
Perak and was involved in a stand-off the against the
Malaysian Army and
Royal Malaysian Police forces.

Detective Corporal R. Sanghadevan of the
Special Branch was killed, some claimed he was executed, during the siege. The group also killed an Army
