4. Yuen notes that SB’s success in the Ginger Operations, (Jarkman, Junket and Jobless) were a direct result of the bravery of the Chinese officers within the force who went undercover to infiltrate enemy lines managing to enlist the help of very prominent rebel leaders to either induce surrender or capture of terrorists. This led to the eventual collapse of the various entrenched CT units in Central Perak. He adds that the award of the JPP medal was only given to those Special Branch officers who took part in relatively the most number of dangerous missions, indicating that he believes that manu other officers should have been similarly rewarded.
