When the communists were still active in Malaysia…most Malaysian
Chinese were seen by the Malays as communists supporter. Since your
father was born in China….could that be one of the reason….that is
what I mean.
“Support for the MNLA was mainly based on around
500,000 of the 3.12 million ethnic Chinese then living in Malaya.
The ethnic Malay population supported them in smaller numbers. The
MNLA gained the support of the Chinese because they
were denied the equal right to vote in elections, had no land
rights to speak of, and were usually very poor.”

Well, besides about the history of communist insurgency in
Malaysia….Malaysia was also seen as practising aparthied policy in
the past. In this case…Malaysian Malays priority first…other
races…not important.
You have relatives in PRC from your father
side?
All the abovementioned oppression in Malaysia may cause
Malaysian Chinese look up at PRC.
Lastly, I notice each time when PRC is being seen
and spoken of negatively within this sg forum, you will get jumpy
and it gets into your nerve.
angke, have you been to China, or know a little about mainland
China through modern media?
The MZD red book is now still available at many souveniour
shops. It was a piece of propaganda during cultural revolution and
cultural revolution is official recognized by the communist Chinese
government as a national catastrophe. Chinese communists used to
worship Mao like their god but now they know the god is dead. But,
suddenly people like you jumped out of the blue and worry about mao
zhe dong. Whether worship Mao like god, or fear him like devil, you
are just acknowledging him with a position that is totally
irrelevant now.
I am not jumpy, just got a little worried, hoping that people of
that era, mao, stalin, would not suddenly become alive, because
people of cold war mentality have just become alive!!!
Scary.....
My fear for China is the rise of nationalism, their economic
power, or simply just their numbers that is now mobile...fear for
MZD and his teaching? hmmm...
angke, take your medicine.
