Ex-IGP Musa Hassan says Malay youths need to be well informed of the country's history, and not be brainwashed. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, January 31, 2020.

FORMER inspector-general of police Musa Hassan has accused DAP of an agenda to rewrite history by reviving communist ideology.

The retired top cop made this claim when giving a lecture at Universiti Teknologi Mara on the 1989 Hat Yai Peace Treaty, which ended the communist insurgency between the Communist Party Malaya, Malaysia and Thailand. It also led to the CPM disbanding. 

His lecture was broadcast on Facebook on Wednesday.

“We see that when they commemorate this peace treaty, there is a lot of support from politicians, especially DAP politicians like Ronnie Liu.

“Ronnie Liu said the communist should be respected because they are fighters. They wish to change history.

“So, commemoration of this peace treaty is to revive communist ideology. We cannot allow this,” Musa said at the Wacana Isu Semasa Perjanjian Damai Hat Yai 1989: PKM Menyerah Diri? (Discussion on the Hat Yai 1989 Peace Agreement: Did CPM surrender?).

The 30th anniversary of the peace agreement in December last year was marked by a dinner in Kajang where Liu, the Sungai Pelek assemblyman, attended in his personal capacity. He was questioned by police over the event after police reports were lodged.

Before that, there was outcry from Malay opposition politicians when it emerged that the ashes of CPM leader Chin Peng had been brought across the border from Thailand in September, by a small group of his friends and scattered in the sea and jungles of his home state, Perak.

Musa also said DAP wanted to “change the history of May 13”, referring to the race riots in Kuala Lumpur in 1969.

“Books written by DAP say the riots were started by Malays, not them (DAP). They always blame the Malays, that (Malays) are racist, that they want to take Chinese property.

“This is how they brainwash our young ones. So that our youths who don’t know history… now we can see they are supporting communism because they don’t know history,” he said.

Musa said the present generation and schools were also at fault for not teaching history well.

“We must now tell the youths. Tell them this is a threat to the country because this country is Malay land, the Malays’ country.

“They are even saying Malays are immigrants, when we are part of a big area, the Malay archipelago. This is our ‘kawasan’ (area). If we don’t know Malay history, we will be persuaded by them,” Musa continued.

The former IGP also made other claims, including that CPM had demanded for the National Monument in the Lake Gardens to be destroyed.

Musa was Malaysia’s eighth IGP from 2006 to 2010 and had served the police force for 41 years. – January 31, 2020.

  • Best if he joins a political party before he makes such inflammatory statements not backed up by evidence. As it is, DAP will sue him for defamation and hate speech.

  • He must have failed his History subject in school. The indigeneous people of Malaysia are the orang asli. The Malays migrated to Malaya from Indonesia! Malay claimed Malaya as Malay land and 2/3 of Malaya land is Malay Reserved Land which include the Banjaran Titiwangsa?

  • Who fought the Japanese in WW2? umno or MCA or MIC? Malay fought the Japanese through Communist party , Chinese fought the Japanese through Communist Party. How can u deny them that they were not fighters ? Did the Melayu Union fought the Japanese? No. DAP fought democratically against BN and lost until 2018. This former IGP is really hopeless guy, another Bigot of UMNO creation. There is Nothing wrong with the system of government whether Democracy, Republic, Mornachy or Communism. US adopt Democracy successfully for decades and China adopt Communism successfully for decades. The integrity, dignity, competency, leadership and good governance deterMine the success of a country govt system. This is a big racist Bigot trying to Move the country backwards in the name of Malay supremacy but quietly sucking the govt. opportunity for his own interest. Those who shouted and claimed Malay supremacy, previledge and dominance merely to gain Malay support for their self interest. They are all multi millionaires now through tenders and license. Majority Malay choose this kind of Malay leaders , so the majority of the Malays now remain poor in the country. Continue to choose these corrupted, selfish and evil Malay leaders, u Malay will remain poor for the next century.

  • These are the type of irresponsible, unethical characters that were flying high during the BN Government. What did he do to improve the police force when he was IGP. All it became was a corrupt force that abused its authority. What useless human being he is.
