In an incident in Tanah Hitam Perak, on 8 February 1980 a soldier was killed. Kanang anak Langkau leading a platoon, was sent to track the enemy down and eliminate them. For eleven days, they tracked the enemy until they stumbled upon a much larger enemy force at Ladang Kiding, Sungai Siput, Perak.[1] Kanang successfully tracks down the enemy. Eleven days after the death of the soldier, he managed to track and identify the enemy's route of escape. On 19 February 1980 at around 1500, after conducting a reconnaissance, his platoon estimated the location of the enemy, which was located near their location. They were actually inside the location of the enemy.[2]
At that moment, Sergeant Kanang was approximately 8 meters from the enemy sentry's location. Realizing that, he launched an assault towards the right by firing towards the right of the enemy with his platoon. After launching the attack, they realised that the enemy's main force was on the left, below the slope of the hill.[3] He switched the direction of the assault to the left. They ploughed through the enemy but a large force of the enemy escaped. The platoon and Kanang managed to capture five Communist Terrorist on that day. Sergeant Kanang was repeatedly shot, he took three rounds from the enemy into his body. He was in a coma for two months in the hospital but recuperated and was back on active duty.[4]
