RMR Museum
4 RAMD…was also known as Gurkha malaya for their prowness and tenacity…and was equipped with Panhard M3 VTT and V100 APC when it was based in sg besi camp….
Ah….it’s nice to see an old friend again,the Baretta AR70,which it shares a lot of similarities with the AK47.
On the 4RAMD regimental colours, the “pulau singapura” tab minus year on it indicates? Because the other two tabs have year on it.
First rifle from top of the rack is an odd one to me, at a glance it look like a pistol with a shotgun/rifle butt. No underbarrel handguard and unfortunately no magazine. The pic around the nameplate is blurred, can’t figure out its name.
The rifles display can be improved with every rifle comes with its magazines. AK47 with the curved magazine and AR70 with a straight mag, jungle carbine with 5-round self ejecting mag?

The Third RMR colours had the same writings, no explaination. Its a skeletal Jungle Carbine likely used to train armourers on the system. Yes I think it will be nice if they had the magazine on the Beretta. As for Jungle Carbine, yes it will be nice if they had the five clip round on it.
Zamrij,
If I’m not mistaken the unit was called as such because when it was raised the British officers and NCOs (including actual Nepalis) were mainly from a Gurkha regiment. At that time of course all RMR units consisted of British offices and NCOs; there just weren’t enough trained locals
Marhalim. thanks for all the reports. Those guns on exhibition, IMHO are from the Emergency period 1 & 2.
I usually find it weird that a Bofor L70/40 AAA is pronounced as Bofi. Why? Thank you for the answer.

Its the acronym for Bofors Opt tronic fire control instrument
The “skeletal Jungle Carbine” is actually part of a full size Enfield, looking at the design of the butt.
It could have been a training aid. It could also have been something that CTs cut down for easier concealment. Insurgents in other parts of the world did the same with Enfields.
