Pak Rashid's concerns for M'sian youth

After giving the best of his life to fight for the real Merdeka! of this land, Pak Rashid Maidin now lives in southern Thailand. But that does not mean he is not concerned with what is happening in our tanah air.

In the recently publish booklet Islam Melayu Komunis - Wawancara Dengan Abdullah C.D., Rashid Maidin & Abu Samah (Kuala Lumpur, SIRD, 2005), the 88-year old anti-colonial fighter are worried about anak-anak muda being morally corrupted by, among other things, "yellow culture", "drugs" and "individualistic lifestyle".

He calls on our angkatan baru to get themselves involved in "healthy activities" and to play their role in developing the nation, upholding democracy and justice as well as promoting inter-ethnic unity.

Other veterans like Abdullah C.D. and Abu Samah also have something to say to our anak-anak muda in this pocket-size booklet.
