Chin Peng is a terrorist and his death is no loss to us, says former IGP Musa Hassan.
KUALA LUMPUR: Former Inspector-General of Police Musa Hassan said Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) secretary-general Chin Peng was a terrorist and there is no need to acknowledge his death.
“Chin Peng has killed many Malaysians, including those from the police and army forces. His passing is not a loss to us,” he said.
Musa said this at a press conference on the recently formed anti-crime non-governmental organisation, Malaysia Community Crime Care (MCCC).
He said there was no reason to bring Chin Peng’s ashes back to Malaysia as he had caused a lot of detriment towards the nation during his time in CPM.
“Chin Peng is not a hero. It is unnecessary to bring his ashes back to Malaysia even if there is no law barring it.
“He only spent his younger days in the country, after which he fled and lived in exile,” he added.
Musa, who is also the MCCC president, said Chin Peng had not brought about anything positive for the nation.
“Even though the British took over our nation, they left us as a far more developed country.
“Chin Peng, on the other hand, had only brought about loss and divided the people,” he said.
Chin, 89, died in a hospital in Bangkok on Sept 16.
The former communist guerilla has been living in exile for several decades and attempted to establish a communist state in Malaya and later Malaysia, but failed.
He made several attempts to return to Malaysia but was refused entry as the memory of the bloody insurgency that he led was still strong among some Malaysians.
