That means that was a British colonialist police station - and those Malaysian who served as British police officers are the traitors.
It was the people who were fighting for the independence of Malaya from its British Colonial masters that attacked this 'police station'... and it was the Malayan National Liberation Army that attacked this British police station - and the British called them 'communist terrorists' then ...and the UMNO led-Alliance government (and later the UMNO led-BN government) continued to propagate the calling of these people as 'communist terrorist'...
Malaysian freedom fighters are forgotten, and the UMNO-led BN government has raised those Malaysians who served the British colonial masters in the police station heroes...I say it is them police personnel at Bukit Kepong in 1950 serving the colonial masters who should be condemned...
Finally, Malaysia achieved independence on 31/8/1957 ....but was it true independence? Or was it just the passing of the baton of 'perceived governance' from the colonial masters to their 'puppets'. The British, many believed, remained the puppet masters...Was that the reason why the 'Malayan National Liberation Army' (which included the Communist Party of Malaya) continued fighting for 'independence'...beyond 31/8/1957?
Jins Shamsuddin’s 1981 movie, Bukit Kepong, re-inforced the picture being painted by the UMNO led government - It again made these British police personnel the heroes, and the ones that attacked the station the ‘crooks’. It also created an image that the policemen were Malays (assisted by the Malays auxiliary police) were the heroes - and they were attacked by the communist terrorists (all Chinese…mmm). Was it the Malayan National Liberation Army - or simply the communist party of Malaya that attacked the British police station in 1950?
We really need to dismantle the effects of over 50 years of 'brain-washing' that has made heroes into villains, and villains into heroes...More and more questions are being raised today about the true history of Malaya...Malaysia, and we must search hard to find the truth...
The truth is out there...
