  • High Court of Malaya Should Allow Chin Peng to Return to Malaysia
    INTERNATIONAL CAMPAIGN BY THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DEMOCRATIC LAWYERS IN SUPPORT OF CHIN PENG'S PETITION TO RETURN TO MALAYSIA Who is Chin Peng? Chin Peng, born Ong Boon Hua in the small Malaysian town of Sitiawan, Perak, in 1924, experienced the impact of the 1930’s depression on his family. As a teenager, he was drawn into student activism at his school. Many political changes were stirring in southeastern Asia at this time and Chin Peng read avidly, learning about exploitation of countries by colonizers and exploitation of laborers by industrialists. During the Japanese occupation of British Malaya from 8th December 1941 to 1945, Chin Peng was a guerilla fighter with the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) which, nevertheless, decided to cooperate with British forces to defeat the Japanese. After the Japanese surrender, the returning British colonizers even nominated Chin Peng for the Order of British Empire, an award which he declined. For almost three years after the Second World War, the CPM under Chin Peng, by then its Secretary-General, actively participated in peaceful and democratic activities to oppose colonial rule and to secure independence for Malaya. In fact, the CPM was the first political party legally established in Malaya to demand independence and freedom, first from the British, then from the Japanese, and then from the British again. Other groups in Malaya were also seeking independence from the British including the Malay Nationalist Party (PKMM)-led Pusat Tenaga Rakyat (PUTERA), headed by Dr Burhanuddin Al-Helmy, and the All-Malayan Council for Joint Action (AMCJA), led by Tun Tan Cheng Lock, who had jointly declared a People's Constitution for an independent Malaya in 1947.

  • 'Malavsiao an Inevitable Creation, 16 September 1963
    'Malavsiao An Inevitable Creation, 16 September 1963 Ooi Keat Gin School of Humanities Universiti Sains Malaysia The concept of 'Malaysia' was conceived as a strategy of the westem powers, n Britain, to ensure that its former colonial possessions, namely (British) Malaya and Bomeo (sarawak, Brunei, North Bomeo) did not switch or fall into the socialist/ camp. The genesis of the formation of the Federation of Malaysia which comprised Federation of Malaya, Singapore, Sarawak, Sabah (formerly North Bomeor), and that realized on 16 September 1963 presented a bulwark to the advancement of the i the communist ideology in the Southeast Asia region. The post-war situation and conditi the then British colonial territories and protectorates of Malaya, Singapore, sarawak, and North Borneo witnessed the increasing influence and threat of communism penn the region. comparatively, however, Brunei and North Bomeo had scant Leftist impact. During the 1950s and early 1960s, the mandarins at whitehall, the Foreign office (Fo), colonial office (co) were particularly anxious and apprehensive that their possessions in Southeast Asia appeared to be susceptible and be swept by the Leftist then prevailing in the region. Symptoms of this Leftist wave could be seen in neiehbouri Indonesia (Partai Komunis Indonesia, PKI, Indonesia communist partv). the phi (Hukbalahap, Huk), and vietnam (Viet cong). within Malaya itself, there was the pro Emergency (1948-1960) with the formidable Malayan communist party (MCp), whereas singapore the Barisan sosialis (Socialist Front) was gaining strength and influence, and in Sarawak, the clandestine manoeuvres of the Sarawak communist organization ( through the sarawak united People's Party (suPP) were worrisome, developments that threatening and troublesome.

By Kumar Ramakrishna Synopsis On the 25th anniversary of the end of the long struggle against the Communist Party of Malaya, it is critical that the conflict be remembered and evaluated accurately. Due regard should be given especially to the sacrifices of those Singaporeans who suffered or perished as a result of Communist violence. To do any less would be a travesty. Commentary THIS YEAR marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the peace agreement between the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) and the Malaysian and Thai governments in Hat Yai, which ended four decades of conflict. On 8 December 2014 a marker of the ‘Struggle Against the Communist Party of Malaya’ was unveiled at Esplanade Park in Singapore near the Cenotaph and Lim Boh Seng Memorial on Queen Elizabeth Walk. The marker is intended as a timely reminder of the approximately 8,000 civilian and security personnel casualties during the Communist insurgency in Malaya (including Singapore) from 1948 to the end of the 1980s.

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 338 Fifth PRASASTI International Seminar on Linguistics (PRASASTI 2019) Discourse Analysis on Reading Communism via Independent Documentary Soundtracks Mohd. Nor Shahizan Ali Centre for Communication and Digital Society, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia [email protected] Abstract— Regarding the issue of independent documentary, the key question to be considered is whether the message conveyed to target groups or intended audiences is fully achieved. The usage of soundtracks to convey the message of an independent documentary is seen as an added value for audiences to digest the producers’ idea. Zettl (2014) put the cultural, ideology and technological narrative message of the production based on soundtracks analysis (focused only on lyrics) as part of the narrative in soundtracks. Using an independent documentary ‘The Last Communist (2006)’ work of Amir Muhammad, this article discusses the ‘reading’ of soundtracks. These soundtracks represents the producers’ idea and constructs a connotation meaning for audiences to consume as they want. The soundtracks are highly posed and are set in descriptive meaning to make them relevant across the globe. They represent actual places or tragedy, and they document witness, which symbolically represents moods such as ‘contentment’ and ‘freedom’. This study implied a focus group discussion with informants that consider as the fourth industrial generation (4IR) whom have watched ‘The Last Communist (2006)’. The topic of discussion is focused only on the soundtracks (focused only on lyrics). It is debatable that soundtracks reading cannot be described adequately in formal terms only. Rather, they are considered to be visual representations of metaphorical thoughts or concepts and the changing of time and mass.

  • Singapore Engages China's Belt and Road Initiative: the Pitfalls and Promises of Soft Strategies CHAPTER 3
    CHAPTER 3 Singapore Engages China’s Belt and Road Initiative: The Pitfalls and Promises of Soft Strategies Alan Chong Abstract As a trading state that practices ‘abridged Realism’ (Chong 2006), Singapore engages China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) through soft strategies. On the politico-security front, Singapore has maintained a measured continuity in criticizing China’s disregard of international law in relation to territorial disputes in Asia and lobbies ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) to maintain a united front in dealing with a rising China that is frequently tempted to split ASEAN through the artichoke strategy of cutting special bilateral deals. This steadfast adherence to principle has threatened to occasionally derail Sino-Singapore ties. On the other hand, China’s BRI is a multilevel chessboard. Singapore’s markets and investment climate are attractive to China’s BRI-related outbound investments due to the positive reputation of the island’s rules, laws, arbitration, syndication of loans and syndication for projects. Singaporean firms lend their Chinese partners social legitimacy and political capital in investing across Asia. This paper examines the uncertain outcomes of these ‘soft strategies’ played by a small state like Singapore. On paper, the contrasts in international relations could not have been starker between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of Singapore. To begin with, the entire sovereign territory of Singapore is one-ninth the size of the city of Shanghai and its suburbs, while Beijing, China’s capital is approximately 23 times the size of Singapore.1 China’s sovereign territorial expanse ensures that it shares long contiguous land borders with Bhutan, India, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Nepal and Pakistan in the west, and Russia and Mongolia in the north, and North Korea to the northeast.

  • The “Hearts and Minds” Fallacy the “Hearts and Jacqueline L
    The “Hearts and Minds” Fallacy The “Hearts and Jacqueline L. Minds” Fallacy Hazelton Violence, Coercion, and Success in Counterinsurgency Warfare Debates over how governments can defeat insurgencies ebb and ºow with international events. Such debates tend to arise when the United States runs into problems in its efforts to support a counterinsurgent government. Often the United States approaches the problem of an armed, organized, internal nonstate political challenge to a government as a zero-sum game. In this competition, the state and nonstate actors compete for popular support and cooperation. The U.S. prescription for success is twofold: to provide support for liberaliz- ing, democratizing reforms designed to reduce popular grievances and gain popular support while weakening the insurgency, and to target insurgents with military force without harming civilians. I identify this prescription as the “good governance approach” for its focus on building a liberal, reform- ist central government to quell insurgency. Others have referred to it as the “population-centric approach,” the “comprehensive approach,” or the “hearts-and-minds approach.”1 In this article, I reconsider the effectiveness of the good governance ap- proach in light of the extreme difªculty that liberal great powers have experi- enced in applying it in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. Since the al-Qaida attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States has been trying to help smaller Jacqueline L. Hazelton is Assistant Professor of Strategy and Policy at the U.S. Naval War College.

  • The Communist Party of Malaya's

The conflict is set within a paradigm built upon the four key touchstones of utility of military force, civil-military relations, population security, and propaganda. Anglo- American Counterinsurgency practice in Malaya and Vietnam as well as the doctrine of People‘s War and Maoist mass persuasion will be comparatively examined within the framework of the abovementioned four touchstones to set the backdrop for the debate on the Second Emergency. The CPM‘s strategy of anti-colonial armed struggle from 1948 to 1960 will be compared with that of its post-colonial armed revolution between 1968 and 1981. Key themes exploited by the CPM in its propaganda to revolutionise the thoughts and actions of its target audience and its impact will be analysed.
