Background: BRITAIN, IN HER FAR EAST DEFENCE BUILD-UP OVER MALAYSIA, HAS PUT ITS BLOODHOUND ANTI-AIRCRAFT MISSILES IN SINGAPORE INTO A STATE OF INSTANT READINESS.

BECAUSE OF GROWING TENSION IN THE AREA, MEN OF BRITAIN'S 22ND ANTI-AIRCRAFT DEFENCE REGIMENT, WHO WERE AIRLIFTED TO MALAYSIA FROM WEST GERMANY RECENTLY, HAVE PUT IN POSITION TEN ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS ALONG STRATEGIC COASTAL AREAS SOMEWHERE IN MALAYSIA.

MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC, INCLUDING CHILDREN, HELPED THE SOLDIERS PREPARE SANDBAGS. THE WHOLE AREA WAS HEAVILY PATROLLED BY THE ROYAL AIR FORCE WHEN THE SOLDIERS WERE BUSY AT WORK.
