AN OPEN LETTER TO MESSRS.  EU CHOOI YIP AND LIM KEAN CHYE

I write this to you both, hoping that it will make you pause and reconsider. My deep anxiety is that you both do not squander your lives in a hopeless and unworthy undertaking. Though you may feel that it is a small matter what happens to you, still is  no small matter what happens to the sons and daughters of Malaya. The present purge in China illustrates what I mean.  If it were so unfortunate that the MCP should get into power in Malaya, this same terror, which is euphemistically called the “settling of old accounts” would, I am sure, be repeated here. This is the issue before you.         

You claim to represent the Malayan people struggling to throw away the British yoke. But this so-called “National Liberation Struggle” has already been condemned before the bar of the Malayan people themselves. It has too much innocent blood on its hands, and the sooner you wash your hands of it, the better. If you imagine that the MCP commands as much support as it did during the Japanese occupation, then you are grievously mistaken. You have misjudged the temper of the present moment and have been taken in by your own propaganda.

Mr Eu Chooi Yip

Once you championed the constitutional development of Malaya within the British Commonwealth of Nations. We admired you for that. The decision to dissolve the MDU was a tragic error. It was a step backwards, not a step forwards.
  

We looked forward to you once as a genuine Malayan Nationalist helping to build a new Malayan nation but now have gone over to the camp of the Communists who are more reactionary than revolutionary.

Don’t you agree with me, as an honest intellectual that the dictatorship of the proletariat means nothing more than the dictatatorship of the Communist Party, and how is it different from the dictatorship of the Nazi Party? The “steel men” of the Communist Party are none other than the “supermen” of Nietsche.

You used to say that the struggle for the survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle and does not and should not apply to human society. But by taking part in this violent struggle, you are upholding the law of the beasts. You are, in fact sacrificing the prince in you to the pauper.            

The choice is clear. Stop your present actions which are against the interests of Malaya and the Malayan people. Come back to the side of the true people of Malaya and contribute your share towards this country’s progress.

Best wishes from a friend.#
