Can you understand the sentiment of wanting to allow Chin Peng, former Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM) leader, to come back to Malaysia?
Because I don’t. I couldn’t fathom the logic behind this insane, stupid, irrelevent, insensitive proposal. He was a leader of an organisation that had cause terror to many on our homeland.
Yet, not even three decades after they finally gave up their armed struggle, we have hippies out there that preach of ‘personal freedom’ and ‘human rights’, and succumb to his personal plea of ‘wanting to visit his father’s grave’ before he meets that father of his in another realm.
Then tell me this – who can answer this question by a victim of PKM brutality, in response to Chin Peng’s plea: “tell me where my father’s grave is”. Many have lost their lives during the emergency, some without a known resting place of their own.
To be ignorant of your own county’s history is a sin of a big magnitude.
