  • I read with interest the current debate on whether Chin Peng ought to be allowed to return to Malaysia.

    Proponents argue against practising double standards by conveniently forgetting what the Japanese and the British did to us, while critics claim that he was a murderous terrorist not to be forgotten or forgiven.

    I thought it may be interesting to draw a list of "terrorists" who became "heros" from around the world. (See chart)


    • Some are remembered as heros, others terrorists
    • The difference between Chin Peng and Japanese investors
    • CPM not the only group to take up arms
    • Don�t read the present back into history
    • My side of history
    • Chin Peng is a soldier, not terrorist
    • Gov't rejects return bid by Chin Peng
    • More flak over ban on Chin Peng�s return
    • Don: Is there an attempt to rewrite history?
