	Chin Peng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chin Peng (Traditional Chinese: 陳平, Simplified Chinese: 陈平, Mandarin Chén Píng) (born 1924), was born Ong Boon Hua (Mandarin: Wang Yonghua or Wang Wenhua Chinese: 王文華) in Sitiawan, and was a long-time leader of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP).
		Chin Peng was the liaison officer between the MPAJA and the British Lord Mountbatten, the leader of the British South-East Asian Command (SEAC).
		Those sympathetic to Chin Peng tend to portray the violence perpetrated by the MCP as defensive and reactionary, while right-wing opponents tend to portray it as aggressive and unethical.

	Socialism Today - End of Empire
		CHIN PENG was the leader of the Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) which played an important role in two guerrilla struggles: in the second world war, and in the post-war twelve-year ‘emergency’, in reality, a war against British colonial rule in Malaya (now Malaysia).
		Chin Peng makes a significant remark in view of the essentially rural guerrilla struggle that was to be pursued later on: "The party’s initial operations centred, naturally, on Singapore as there was a far greater concentration of union movements on the island than anywhere else on the Malayan peninsula".
		Chin Peng and his comrades were imprisoned by the Stalinist theory of ‘stages’: first bourgeois democracy and independence; and only later could the social issues, and particularly socialism, be posed.

	Malaya: Revolution and its Abandonment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
		Chin Peng, nevertheless, concerned mainly with prestige and numbers, declares that it was this period when the CPM was at its strongest.
		Chin Peng's reasons for joining the CPM rather than the Kuomintang (which also had a sizeable presence in British Malaya) were largely influenced by the rapidly moving chain of events in China itself at that time.
		Chin Peng's account of the CPM's anti-Japanese war and the treachery of the nefarious secret police-agent, Lai Te, make gripping reading, but despite the treachery, it is here, during this period, that one is truly able to appreciate the Party members' and supporters' enormous contribution to the "liberation of Malaya".

	The Baling Peace Talks
		When Chin Peng eventually emerged from the jungle, he insisted that the rations for the entire period of the talks and of the amnesty, be carried a short way into the jungle and stacked there for his force to collect unseen.
		He was much respected and totally trusted by Chin Peng who asked that Davis accompany him at all times, from his emergence from the jungle and until his return, to guarantee his safety.
		Chin Peng was no fool and knew as well as we did that a large body of men is as easy to track in the jungle as a double decker bus, and it was obvious that Chin Peng and his party had been alone.

	Review: ‘My Side of History’ by Chin Peng
		Chin Peng seems to recognise this belatedly when he states that their main demand was for a “democratic government through elections from an electorate drawn from all the races”.
		Chin Peng states: “I realised the programme amounted to nothing more than a vapid move to appease the incoming British [It] made no mention of the goal of self-determination for the nation.” Lai Te, the secretary-general, was against the militant struggle by the CPM.
		Chin Peng, however, stresses the attempts of the CPM to draw Malays into their ranks, which enjoyed some success even in the struggle against the Japanese, with the recruitment and training of some Malays.

		In 1947 the MCP had 12,590 members and its Secretary General, Chin Peng, was commander of between 5,000 and 7,000 guerillas.
		(Chin Peng was awarded an OBE for his services during the Second World War but he never received the decoration because it arrived in Kuala Lumpur after he launched his revolt.
		Chin Peng's plan was to attack lonely rubber estates and tin mines and exterminate important police and government officials in country districts, thereby forcing the British to evacuate the rural areas and go to the bigger towns.

		Chin Peng had always felt that his patients were always in awe of what his father had to say.
		Chin Peng had never seen his father cry before and was so shocked by what he saw that he lost his train of thought and sat there speechless.

		Chin, however, was not allowed to return to his native town of Sitiawan on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula.
		Chin acknowledges the British success is herding villagers into strategic hamlets, thus depriving the guerrillas of bases that could provide them with supplies as well as intelligence.
		Chin is not bitter about the failure of his struggle, and it almost seems to amuse him that he was once considered the most dangerous man in the British Empire.

	SPECIAL FEATURE: Murder and insurrection: Lance Sharkey in Singapore - 26 March 2005
		Chin Peng has been fairly free to travel since the MCP negotiated a peace treaty with the Thai and Malaysian governments in 1989.
		Chin Peng's accounts (in both Dialogues and Alias Chin Peng) suggest that Sharkey came to Singapore to give the Moscow line, as the official British account had always argued.
		Chin Peng makes clear that he and his colleagues had already picked up enough about the changed currents in the wake of the Zdhanov doctrine to realise that they "should" be considering "armed struggle", but they were reluctant to do so because they were not ready.

		In the book he candidly admits to mistakes and errors of judgement, but also responds vigorously to many of the assertions made against him, both by political leaders at the time he was active and by historians during the intervening decades.
		Thus, when Chin Peng (or, to give his real name, Ong Boon Hua) criticises 'western historians' for this or that claim, as he frequently does, his targets are not clearly identified.
		Chin Peng's account dismisses the 'Calcutta Conference' approach to the outbreak of the Emergency.

		Australian forces joined in the fighting, on one occasion almost managing to kill the elusive guerilla leader known by his nom de guerre, Chin Peng.
		An extraordinary new autobiography by Chin Peng (real name: Ong Boon Hua) reveals that military action was not the only Australian involvement during this turbulent period.
		As Ong reveals in Alias Chin Peng, an off-the-cuff remark in Singapore early in 1948 by a leading Australian communist, Lance Sharkey, inadvertently encouraged the war's onset - and perhaps helped his comrades lose it.

		You created the page Ong boon hua as a "see also" link to Chin Peng.

		The English of the article is in need of improvement; for example: "It has been said that the story of Stella's forced marriage insinuates the forces that are constantly trying to impose their will on Greece." (That's not only grammatically incorrect, but it's also vague; said by whom?) I'll work on it when I can.

		What ever it is that offends UMNO or is offensive about Chin Peng is what is now alleged of all those whose pictures are superimposed on to that book cover with Chin Peng's picture and the word communist written in bold.
		Indeed this is an occasion for those who had the ignominy of their pictures so ofensively superimposed upon Chin Peng's book cover, to now take action against the UMNO Youth for having cast them in the same offensive image that UMNO Youth sees Chin Peng for.
		This was because DAP totally rejected violent struggles and ways in contravention of the Federal Constitution and the party was committed to struggles guided by the framework of the Constitution to achieve greater political freedom and enhance the economic standing of the people, he said.
