<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to last Friday's letter, 'Let them come home' by Mr Patrick Low.
Mr Low said in his letter that 'the friendly reconciliation of the independence-era freedom fighter rivals stands in stark contrast to the situation of the Betong exiles who have been banned from returning home', and added that 'it would be a magnanimous gesture by the Government to let these elderly exiles realise their nostalgic longing' (to return to Singapore).

The Betong exiles refer to a group of former communist terrorists (ex-CTs) living in the Betong Peace Village on the Malaysian-Thailand border. The Government has, in fact, allowed a number of these ex-CTs of Singapore origin to return to Singapore, contrary to Mr Low's suggestion that they have been 'banned from returning home'.

Ex-CTs and Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) members who wish to return to Singapore have to meet three basic and minimal conditions - renounce communism, sever links with the CPM and agree to be interviewed by the Internal Security Department on their past activities.

These three conditions have been clearly made known in the past.
Some ex-CTs and CPM members had accepted these conditions and returned to settle in Singapore, including leading cadres like Eu Chooi Yip and P.V. Sarma. They and their families have returned, settled down and built new lives for themselves in Singapore.

Some others have refused to accede to the conditions and have chosen not to return.

Isn't Gong Li a member of the Chinese Communist Party? She was a member of the National Committee of CPPCC. Did she renounce her CCP membership before becoming a Singaporean?

Did ISD interview her before she became a Singapore citizen? How do we not know that she is a communist spy?

You sound like gopalan nair

This is a legitimate question that's been in the back of my mind for quite sometime.

A commie is a commie whether he/she is a commie from Russia, Cuba, China or Malaya. Or for that matter, Timbuktu.

Aren't commies the same, and ought to be treated in the same manner?

2 different kettles of fish. The CPM caused a lot of havoc including assasination of prominent business leaders and several other atrocities. They also carried our a series of purges within their own resulting in hundreds excuted under false and misconceived allegations while in the jungles of Betong and Malaysia.

The request is very simple - meet 3 conditions which many have accepted on both sides. The guys who use the excuse of the 3 conditions are scared to return because of expected retribution from families and friends and many are from those communist that were wrongly executed by their colleagues.

Would you want to return after ordering executions of your colleagues which now everyone acknowledges as a massive mistake. How you going to face the families.

You should read up on the purges that occurred among these chaps in the jungle. Its pretty shocking.

All communists are socialists, but not all socialists are communists.

Happy to clarify. Will drop by.

Yes, even among the communist there were many that did not follow the violent path. Lenin however made it clear that violence was a prerequiste and thats where it went wrong. Many Malaysian Chinese resent the communist because of their fear tactics. Cutting open a pregnent woman was probably the most revolting. They did that to ensure that the Chinese villagers supplied them with food supplies and intelligence at all costs.

The communists interestingly never did commit the atrocities on the Malays.

If I did the above, I too will sit quietly in the Peace Village in Thailand and pretend that I object to the conditions.

One has to bear in mind that Chin Peng, Eu, Sharma and his Leadership group have repeatedly claimed that they were in Beijing while purges occurred and were not aware of it. They therefore came back. Chin Peng wants to come back but the Malaysians have refused.

The CPM collapsed when Deng Xiaoping and the other leaders of the CCP who are now CEOs stopped funding them.

I guess in your book, it is OK to fund terrorists. Peculiar logic!!!
