KUCHING: Deputy Speaker of Parliament Datuk Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar says the communist ideology is still very much alive in the country today, and urges the people to be wary.
According to him, the ideology was more subtle this time; the proponents waging psychological warfare against the government.
“Even though they have ended the physical war against us, the (communist) element is still very much alive.
“Their former leader (Chin Peng) is still active spreading the ideology. It is not physical but psychological warfare,” said Wan Junaidi, who is also Santubong MP.
He said that Chin Peng had admitted that the ideology was still there, thus the people must be very careful.
Recently, Malaysian Ex-servicemen Association (PBTM) president Datuk Muhammad Abdul Ghani acknowledged in the association’s website that there were some irresponsible groups using schools and colleges to revive the communist ideology.
The information was obtained from pamphlets found circulating in kindergartens and schools in the federal capital. The pamphlets are circulated to spread the modern concept of communism.
Wan Junaidi said that many Chinese and Malay students had been recruited as supporters of the ideology, and the movement was very much active.
“What is regrettable is that they are undermining the peace and the rule of law in this country, and discrediting the present government,” he said.
