Oh please Hong Xing, give it away.
Chin Peng was a communist terrorist, nothing more, nothing less.
Chin Peng jumped on the bandwaggon and supported the British whilst it suited him, for which he was suitably rewarded, not just with British decorations, either.
At the end of the war he expected, (rather foolishly, I think), that Britian would simply hand over Malaya to him, to become a Communist state. He could not be more wrong, he served his purpose and was given the opportunity to leave gracefully, his pockets overflowing with British gold, by the way.
Possibly a loss of face issue here, similar to the IRA of today, but Chin Peng felt he had to fight on in order to retain any credibility amongst his followers who had blindly followed him, taking huge casulalities, for many years previously. Simple as that.
Spout the mantra as much as you like Hong Xing but please don't come on here spouting rubbish, many of us are old enough, have been there etc. to know that you are talking straight through your bottom.
