The Basecamp, 3rd Floor South Wing, Sri Pentas, 3,Persiaran Bandar Utama, 47800 PJ, SelangorIn Malaysia’s historical records, the term “Al-Ma’unah” signifies a grim and unsettling period, characterised by daring raids, intense standoffs, and the clash of extremist beliefs.
Central to Al-Ma’unah’s ethos was the concept of “Ma’unah,” interpreted as the extraordinary manifestations of divine power bestowed upon ordinary Muslims. It is believed that this mix of disciplines served to cultivate a sense of superiority and invincibility among its members, bolstering their resolve to defend Islam at any cost.
Among them were 97 M16 assault rifles, two Steyr AUG rifles, four GPMGs, six light machine guns, five grenade launchers, 182 M16 magazines, eight extra barrels of GPMGs, three extra barrel of LMGs, 26 bayonets, 9,095 rounds of 5.56mm ammunition, and 60 rounds of 40mm ammunition. However, these attacks resulted in minimal damage. It was later speculated that Amin simply aimed to instigate a coup or provoke racial and religious tensions through these actions.
Following three days of a tense standoff, a confrontation erupted between Al-Ma’unah members and security forces, leading to a shootout. In the ensuing chaos, one Al-Ma’unah member was killed. In a retaliatory act, Amin took the life of Saghadevan. Amin and his followers were subsequently brought to trial on various charges, including waging war against the Agong. Amin, along with two of his top lieutenants, Zahit Muslim and Jamaluddin Darus, received death sentences. Additionally, cult member Jemari Jusoh, who executed Iban commando Matthew, was also sentenced to death.
The aftermath of the Al-Ma’unah siege extended well beyond Sauk, leaving a lasting impact on the collective consciousness of Malaysia.
