The local troops from the regiment's number 6 and 9 platoons really participated in small-scale field operations in Bukit Belalong. The four TNKU members had snuck into the area from the Sarawak. After the search and cordon procedures, the four uniformed and rather malnourished members of the TNKU turned themselves in to the party that was approaching. TNKU badges, eighty-four rounds of various ammunition, and six automatic rifles were also discovered inside the shack where they were hiding.
