In 2005, a Thai living in Malaysia, Mr. Sevee Charuruks from Kota Kinabalu, undertook the restoration as a private retirement project. In subsequent years, the Australian government was also involved in several contributions to the further restoration. Such as the contribution of 120,000 MYR for the fencing of the plot, MYR350,000 for the "Australian Memorial Hall" (which serves the screening of documentaries), MYR120,000 in the demolition and reconstruction of the concrete wall in the "Contemplation Garden" and another MYR14,000 for the construction of the "Confrontation Memorial".
