Rightist: This is the picture of Chin Peng, the most evil man on earth. Damn communist. Good-looking fella back in the 40's, but who would have thought he's such a bloodthirsty motherfucka who slaughtered thousands of people in Malaya and made spaghetti out of their entrails. He's a megalomaniac with delusions of grandeur. He's so screwed up he wanted to rule the country from 1945-1960. I'm screaming with joy that the old bugger's dead. Long live democracy!
Leftist: Dude, that's blasphemy. You know he's a patriot who fought against the Japanese and British colonialists. He was willing to die for his country. He got more balls than your grandpa, your dad, your bro, and basically your whole goddamn family. Chin Peng's a true freedom fighter, the real deal. Unlike those pussies who hide behind the apron of the British Queen and kissed the ass of the Jap bastards, he chose to do the manly and honourable thing for his country: fight. When the Japs were busy killing & raping Chinese villages, where were you? If not for his men hiding in the jungle and ambushing those Japanese assholes, your mom won't be around today. It's a pity he died without coming home.
Rightist: Wtf, you're so perverted. He's a Communist. He's evil. Read my lips: Communism is Evil. The Communists are racists. They get orders from China, and only China. They hate the Malays and massacred Malay villages in Johor. They urinated in mosques, insulted Islam and bullied the Malays into paying heavy taxes. They started a racial riot in 1945. Communists hate everything, even God. Chin Peng a hero? Where the hell did you read that? Your history's messed up. Read your fuckin' textbook. That's the correct history. After 1957, he tried to conquer Malaya spilling blood n guts n shit... First, he offed those British estate owners, then the High Commisioner....
Leftist: Stfu, you're wrong. He only retaliated against those Japanese lackeys. Those who died were the informers & running dogs for their Jap masters. It just so happened that the majority were Malay civil servants. But when the Communists revenged themselves, the villagers started whining and bitching about injustice. Karma, baby. What goes around comes around. Read something other than your goddamn textbook, ok? And why so emo when he killed British officers? You pro-British or something? Good boy, here's a cookie for you. Your colonial master is proud of you. Btw, the British awarded him medals of honour...
Rightist: Which were taken back by the Queen! He's a nasty lil' backstabber.
Leftist: Nope, he was trying to get rid of the British regime...
Rightist: And set up his own Communist empire, right? He's a national traitor!
Leftist: No, it's everything to do with race. Don't deny it. History is racialized. Nordin Mat Top, the most wanted Muslim terrorist who blew up hotels as a hobby was welcomed home by Malaysian authorities. Can you imagine that? What Chin Peng did was to kill ppl during war, and he suddenly become a criminal?? Why can't we forgive? That's 50 blasted years ago.
Leftist: Nope, he was trying to get rid of the British regime...
Rightist: And set up his own Communist empire, right? He's a national traitor!
Leftist: Why are you so biased? He wasn't alone in this. Ahmad Boestamam was a famous Malay leader who worked with the Communists to overthrow the British & Japanese invaders. He was awarded the title "Datuk." Shamsiah Fakeh was a lady Communist and Malay feminist. She was allowed to come home in 1994 and given land. Why weren't they persecuted? You go figure.
Rightist: That's because they agreed to be peaceful. But Chin Peng killed innocent civilians! There's blood on his filthy hands. We should never forgive him! He's a terrorist!
Leftist: No, it's everything to do with race. Don't deny it. History is racialized. Nordin Mat Top, the most wanted Muslim terrorist who blew up hotels as a hobby was welcomed home by Malaysian authorities. Can you imagine that? What Chin Peng did was to kill ppl during war, and he suddenly become a criminal?? Why can't we forgive? That's 50 blasted years ago.
Rightist: That's different! He missed his boat in 1990. He didn't apply to come home. Plus he's a Communist leader. Communist ideology is dangerous. It threatens national unity and security...
Leftist: He applied to come home in 1990, but was rejected. If Communism is so bad, why be friends with China? China is the bad guy, remember?
Rightist: That's different! China contributed to the economy of Malaysia, and helped us to resist the hegemonic US forces. We are a neutral country with good relationship with all superpowers.
The Venusian: Both of you can go screw yourself. Why can't you accept that Chin Peng can be a terrorist and a freedom fighter at the same time? He can be both, remember? A person can be A as well as B, a rose can be a flower at the same time, and a dog can be a mammal too. Why insist everything must be either black or white? The world doesn't work that way. The truth always lies in between. Both of you are just as shitty as each other. I am ashamed of you two.
