After witnessing the reenactment, Their Majesties, who were moved to tears, got down from the main stage to meet the widows and relatives of the fallen heroes.

Making the atmosphere more sombre was the song Kali Terakhir Ku Lihat Wajahmu (The Last Time I Saw Your Face) by singer Uji Rashid being played in the background.

Their Majesties also presented the families with contributions.

Also present were Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his wife Datuk Seri Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.

The reenactment was produced by Bukit Aman Internal Security and Public Order Department director Datuk Seri Hazani Ghazali and performed by 150 police personnel from the Vat 69 Commando Unit, Air Operations Unit and the General Operations Unit.
