Ching Peng Return - Tun Rahman Yaakub Has No Ground to Talk On Behalf of the Ex-Servicemen

Shut-Up  Your Mouth!

I was surprised to read in Borneo Post yesterday that the newspaper allowed Tun Rahman complimentary comments on Bong Kee Chok, the most notorious communist head in Borneo in the 60s and early 70s to appear on its front page.

Tun Rahman, the third Chief Minister of sarawak and the person who architected the Fall of dayak politic, said that Bong Kee Chok cannot be compared with Chin Peng as the later responded quickly to the government call to surrender. Bong Kee Chok according to Rahman also caused less casualties and damages compare to Ching Peng.

The ex-Governor of Sarawak also said that Bong Kee Chok was a good friend of his. And during his school day in St Joseph, Bong Kee Chok was a bright student according to Rahman.

Being the ex-servicemen myself, I would like to remind Tun Rahman to keep his mouth shut.
Bong Kee Chok operation in Sarawak was supported by Indonesian government under Soekarno. There was military confrontation between Malaysia and Indonesia, and the anti-colonial government and anti-Malaysia members of the communist organization were supported by the Indonesian Government. However, the putsch of 30th September 1965 by the Indonesian Army soon ended the confrontation, and the governments of the two countries formed an alliance and carried out a campaign against the communist armed forces at the Sarawak/Indonesian border. From thence, the communist armed forces were facing attack from both sides, they suffered heavy losses, and declined ever since.

Peace Agreement Between Rahman and his old friend Bong Kee Chok.....MACC is suggested to open the File For Element Of Corruption!

The opportunity came in 1972 when Sarawak government, under its 3rd Chief Minister ( who used the Ibans such as Jugah and kana to  cease power) Tun Rahman made an offer to the members  of PARAKU to surrender. In 1973 Abdul Rahman Yakub signed a Peace Agreement with Bong Kee Chok, the Director and Commissar of the North Kalimantan Peoples’ Army(PARAKU). After this event, about 580 members of the North Kalimantan Peoples’ Army and Sarawak Peoples’ Guerrillas laid down their arms, came out of the jungle and returned to society. The reliable source inform Bukit Tunggal that  all 580 members of PARAKU that surrendered and came out from the jungle were given with land and substantial amount of fund to start their lives ( Read here and here ).

After reading Tun Rahman comment yesterday, I realised that there was an element of corruption involved in the Peace Agreement Signed between Sarawak Government (represented by Tun Rahman) and PRARAKU (represented by Bong Kee Chok)  as both of them were friends.

The offers given to PRAKU by Tun Rahman did not make sense at all as their benefits were far better than the retirement benefits given to the ex-army personnel. MACC must start the investigation now before the old man die.

Sarawak Government Did More to Ex-Communist Compare to the Ex-Army

In 1973 when Abdul Rahman Yakub then a Chief Minister of Sarawak, signed a Peace Agreement with Bong Kee Chok (PARAKU), all of the ex-PARAKU members were given a land and substantial amount of fund to start their lives. If one travel from Kuching to Serian, on the right side of Kuching-Serian highway (not far from Kpg Panchur), one will see the blue roof banglo. This banglo is belong to Bong Kee Chok. This is very much contrary with the condition of the houses belong to about 30,000 members of ex-army in Sarawak.

In the past few members of the ex-army had tried their luck to apply for a small piece of land from Sarawak government but rejected by Awang Tengah (Sarawak government) without any reason given.

The action of the Sarawak government above for rejecting the application by ex-members of the armed forces for a small piece of land, is a clear indicator that they had done more to the ex-PARAKU members compare to the ex-army members.

Another point to ponder......ever heard that any members of Sarawak MP especially from the Sarawak United People’s Party (SUPP) express their opinion publicly or reject the return of Ching Peng to Malaysia ?

This will never happen simply because most of the SUPP members in late 60s were Communist members. They CCO infiltrated and covertly took over SUPP. The top leaders of SUPP, Ong Kee Hui and Stephen Yong, may not be CCO sympathisers but below them, almost all the branches were controlled by agents of the CCO. Weng and Bong Kee Chok became founder members of SUPP. Another half a dozen CCO members also joined as founder members. By this time, the early 1960s, the British Special Branch were well aware of the threat posed by the CCO. The trigger to open hostility occurred in 1962 when AM Azahari launched his ill-fated attempt to take over the Brunei sultanate. Azahari had deep links with the SUPP/CCO and when the military uprising failed just before Christmas 1962, the Special Branch took the opportunity to launch an all out campaign to crack down on the CCO. All the key CCO leaders including Weng and Bong were round up.Many were deported back to China while other were banished deep into the interior. Many SUPP branches were proscribed.

Well , what is the different between SUPP and Chin Peng. If we can accept SUPP why can't we accept Chin Peng.

To all the ex-army in Sarawak, Next election DO NOT VOTE FOR BN..VOTE FOR PAKATAN!
