Aisha Noor kept WW2 POWs alive while in camps during the war in Malaysia. She smuggled food into the camps to feed Allied Servicemen. This earned her the name Jungle Queen amongst the men. She passed away in 2018 at the age of 103 and was still known to her family as Tok Jungle. My father tells me of a story of how, many years after the war a group of Veterans returned looking for her. They took her out on the town to thank her for keeping them alive. A truly remarkable woman.
