Ong Boon Hua / Chin Peng
21 October 1924 – 16 September 2013
He was a Chinese Communist guerilla
leader. He was born in Malaya. In 1942, he joined the Communist Malayan
Peoples' Army to fight Japanese forces that had occupied Malaya during World
War II (1939-1945). He fought from jungle hideouts aided by British officers
who supplied him with arms. The British decorated Chin Peng with the Burma
Star in 1946. In 1947, Chin Peng was elected secretary general of the Malayan
Communist Party. A year later, he became a guerilla again, and fought against
the British. In 1953 as a result of increased British pressure, Chin Peng moved
his guerilla headquarters from Pahang in Malaya to a new base in southern
Thailand.
In 1963, the new independent nation of
Malaysia emerged. Communist resistance to the new government continued until
1989, when Chen Ping and his remaining 1,100 guerillas laid down their arms.
They were helped to settle in Thailand, and promised that they could eventually
return to Malaysia.
