Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I whakatuhia hei wehenga hiko i te 28 o Tihema 1976, i te wa o te tutu Communist (1968<unk>1989)
I whakawhiwhia te 3 DIV ki te tiaki i te moutere o Malay i te taha o te 2nd Infantry Division (2 DIV). I taua wa, e rua nga tari matua o te DIV i noho ki te Sungai Besi Army Base me te kawenga mo te rohe raki o te moutere o Malay. I muri mai ka nekehia te 2nd Infantry Division ki Penang, ka whakapumautia te 4th Infantry Division mo te pokapū o te moutere o Malay. Mai i taua wa, ko te 3 DIV te kawenga mo nga kawanatanga e wha: Malacca, Negeri Sembilan, Johor, me Pahang.
