Chin Peng sets court case deadline for gov't



Chin Peng, Abdullah C.D. and Rashid Maidin were all born in Perak.





Reproduced below is the written portion of Darshan Singh Khaira's statement issued in Penang on 29 April, 2006 and emailed to this blogger for publication in full(appended to this entry on 1 May, 2006 at 6.55 pm without amendment or change to the original text received) :
1. This application was filed on 04-03-2005.
2. It is based on 2 grounds:-
(a) that Ong Boon Hua @ Chin Peng is a citizen having being born in Sitiawan, Perak, Malaysia where his parents were both citizens.
(b) the Agreement dated 02-12-1989 signed with the Malaysian Government and the Communist Party of Malaya allows him and other members of the Communist Party of Malaya (even if not citizens) to return and reside in Malaysia.
(c) The main defence of the Government is that the Agreement is an Official Secret!
3. After waiting for more than 5 years and when the Government finally refused his entry, he was forced to file this application.
4. On 21-09-2005 on the application of the Government this application was transferred to the Kuala Lumpur High Court.
5. On 22-02-2006 the Penang High Court purported to transfer the file to the High Court Putrajaya.
6. On the same day when it was pointed out by us that there is no High Court in Putrajaya, the letter was amended to High Court, Commercial Division, Jalan Raja, Kuala Lumpur.
7. Again the High Court, Commercial Division, Kuala Lumpur returned the file back to the Penang High Court stating that it should be sent to the High Court, Civil Division, Wisma Denmark.
8. Obviously there is an attempt to drag its feet and delay the matter as much as possible bearing in mind that Chin Peng is now 81 years old.
9. The Government’s stand is puzzling as the other members of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Malaya including Rashid Mydin, Abdullah C.D. and Musa Ahmad have been allowed to enter, visit and reside in Malaysia.
10. Chin Peng wants to resolve this issue peacefully and amicably and expect the Malaysian Government to keep its word and abide by the Peace Agreements.
11. Yet the Government has tried to put obstacles in his way.
12. Kuala Lumpur has even instructed the Malaysian Embassy in Bangkok not to attest his Affidavits in this case.
13. How long Chin Peng is expected to wait in Bangkok knocking on the Malaysian doors to be allowed entry?
Technically Chin Peng as a Malaysian citizen can enter Malaysia by walking through the border. All he can be charged is with a technical offence of not obtaining an entry permit. He cannot be detained or deported. But he does not want to do so as the Communist Party of Malaya pledged in the Agreement to abide by all Malaysian laws.
14. In the event there is no response within one (1) month Chin Peng will take his case to the World Court, Europe Court of Justice and other international forums.
15. I am authorized by Chin Peng to issue the above statement.

Haji Dollah Bokbong is right. When the Japanese army occupied Malaya, dissenters were beheaded. Today we welcome them with open arms. Encouraging them to retire in Malaysia with the "Malaysia, a second home" program. Chin Peng, Rashid Maidin, Abdullah C. D. and Musa Ahmad were no criminals. Their fight was based on ideology not terrorism. The fight is over, they have given up that fight. To not honour an agreement for the end of that fight puts us in a bad light. No one would trust us if we continue to behave like this.
