In 1966, when the confrontation
with Indonesia was coming to a conclusion, Auster aircraft dropped these
leaflets in the jungle to assist the enemy in 'giving themselves up'. There
are two sides to the document, the obverse is written entirely in Chinese.
As a sidenote, on Christmas day 1966 the Auster, which had a large loudspeaker
onboard for broadcasting propaganda to the enemy, flew over Kuching and
the surrounding area playing Christmas Carols. A touch of home in a far
away land!
