As the movie implied. It means enemy aircraft sighted
(supposedly a bane for field artillery). There's a drill the
gunners are supposed to execute upon the warning, which was
basically fanning out, sit or lie down facing the flight path &
then firing the M16s into the sky. Is it practical/realistic? Beats
me.
Appended: How can forget this one - the legendary-famous,
homegrown-classic "No smoking inside jungle" lecture. [First heard
it myself in '79 during Sec. 1 NPCC; Jack Neo/Siva Choy/Kumar also
told variations of it in their comedy routines later.]
"Men, there was a group of soldiers (a) out on patrol (b) in the
jungle (c) at night (d) & a cigarette was lit (e) & an
enemy plane was passing above (f) & it saw the light of the
cigarette ~wink~ (g) & it bombed the whole area (h) &
everyone was killed (i) & the smoker was put on a charge! (j)
& that's why you shouldn't smoke inside the jungle.
Clear?"
Chorus: "NO!"
"Suppose it was you (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j).
Understand?"
Chorus: "NO!"
"What if it was me (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) (j). Any
questions?"
Pause.
"Encik, ang moh buay hiao tia, leh."
