Senoi Praaq

He pressed for the formation of the Senoi Praaq as a deterrent force to stop the communist influence over the remote Orang Asli settlements in the deep jungles.

In 1956 General Gerald Templer finally agreed to the formation of the Senoi Praaq as an arm of the Department of Aborigines (DOA).

The Senoi Praaq started as a small unit that served as the Special Air Service (SAS) auxiliary,[4] with an initial 20 recruits.

The Senoi Praaq would traverse the deep darkness of the rainforests that border Malaysia, moving quickly and silently through the thick jungle undergrowth, seemingly impenetrable to others.

With the beginning of the Second Communist Insurgency in 1968, the Senoi Praaq was absorbed as a unit of the RMP, to fully exploit their skills and expertise.

Both Senoi Praaq battalions are put under the administrative and tactical command of the General Operations Force Northern Brigade.

With the end of the insurgency by Communist Party Of Malaya, jungle patrols are no longer the primary tasks of the Senoi Praaq.

Instead their task has been more akin of the normal General Operations Force battalions of the Royal Malaysian Police.
