Background

On December 16, 1963, a group of KKO Soldiers conducted a reconnaissance of the Sabah Rangers Post in Kalabakan and discovered the fact that the post was a very strong post. Then a commander named Rebani decided to attack Kalabakan on December 30, 1963.

Battle

On December 29, 1963, at 11.00 a.m. 35 KKO (Marine Command Corps) or what is now called the Marine Corps stormed the Kalabakan headquarters. The Sabah Rangers did not expect the raid even though they were used to facing guerrillas in Malaya and bloody battles ensued. In the attack, 8 RMR soldiers died and 19 others were injured, but there were no casualties on the KKO side. Then the attackers moved to free Tawau.

Impact

This attack caused the Kalabakan headquarters to be damaged after the raid after the Gurkha units hunted down the Indonesian troops participating in the raid. Serda Rebani was also recorded to have died in the hunt due to lack of food and drink and also difficult terrain for his services Serda Rebani was promoted to Sergeant Major Posthumously.
