Everyone wants to have a bit in denouncing Amir Muhammad's documentary on Chin Peng, that infamous communist leader of Malaya, because they felt wronged by the latter, or that the leader was of the wrong race.
The police could not forgive him for murdering members of their close-knit ranks.
Some nationalist felt that Chin Peng has caused too many destruction to warrant a place in history, and that he should be forgotten and ignored(notwithstanding the fact that his autobiography is out for sale in this country, though I haven't seen it in awhile).
The Malay fascists were incensed that Amir, a Malay, dare to do a documentary about someone of another race
And there is this ongoing debate about who is more worthy to be featured in a documentary. This feels a little like the school's moral studies class.
And also both sides trying to argue that Chin Peng has no place in our history books, nor in our freedom fighting.
Sigh...I cease to care to comment further.
Why can't I ever live my life in peace without caring about a bunch of people who want to make life difficult for themselves
