The KPM was established on April 30, 1930 and fought until December 2, 1989, when a Thailand-brokered peace agreement between the party and the Malaysian government was signed in Hat Yai. The CPM was then dissolved. The commemoration of the peace agreement was used as a launching pad for the corps, with members promising to abide by Thai laws and support each other. The ceremony was observed by senior officials. “My presence here is to increase the solidarity of Thais of Chinese origin. There is no other agenda,” Zhang said. So we decided to take a closer look at this peace agreement, and here`s what we found. The then-opposition party chairman cracked down on the federal government for violating the peace agreement he struck 30 years ago in Hat Yai with the KPM and the Thai government, which ended decades of guerrilla warfare that threatened democracy and economic growth in the two Southeast Asian nations. “I would like to read this agreement, because it is only four paragraphs.

And I would like to have an explanation from the government so that Malaysians know in all truth what was agreed and we can understand that the ashes of the late Chin Peng were brought back according to facts,” he added. We could say more about and what is not, but this is a long speech of short importance: the terms of the Hat Yai peace treaty allowed just about every Communist Party leadership to return to Malaysia. And Chin Peng is one of them. However, Chin Peng was never able to return to Malaysia in his life after that day, although other MCP members had no problem with this. Hat Yai: Former members of the now-dissolved Malaya Communist Party (MPC) on Tuesday celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Hat Yai peace agreement, recalling the end of their armed struggle with Malaysia. PUTRAJAYA (September 17): The government should be careful with the chaos it is sending, especially with the ratification of an international treaty, if it decides not to let Chin Peng`s ashes return to the country. DAP National Chairman Karpal Singh referred to the Hatyai Peace Agreement signed in 1990 between the Malaysian, Thai and Malayan Communities Party (MCP), whose secretary-general was Chin Peng or Ong Boon Hua. Karpal said the agreement should allow all MCP leaders to settle in the country. Therefore, if the Malaysian government did not allow to be Chin Peng`s last resting place, it would be tantamount to not respecting the agreement.

“It doesn`t fit the country well,” he said. “The government should seriously consider leaving Chin Peng`s ashes here. That is the least the government can do. The government has not allowed him to come back here all his life,” he added. Karpal noted the strong objection to his return after his death on Monday and asked for a different perspective on the MCP supreme leader after his death. Karpal also pointed out that while Chin Peng was unable to present his birth certificates, the fact that he was born here could not be denied. Regarding Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak`s statement that Chin Peng is not a citizen, Karpal said it was easy to prove that he was born in Setiawan, Perak. . . .
