Commentary #23 People – Progressive People : Part II

31st May 2022

In the October 2021 edition of NLM, covered was the Malaysian Left, and we shall continue with the other almost forgotten progressives, in our country and in other continents during a time of colonial struggle for independence, and disembarking the disemboding of imperialism.

The Malaysian Left tale continues with laywer Karam Singh whom legacy literature has neglected. Where mainstream political discourse often tends to focus on ravishing roles played by monarchs and their enuch statesmen, this journal edition shall portray the sterling stories of other progressive elements endeavouring in environment against all odious odds, like poet Said Zahari, socialist entrepreneur Tan Kai Hee, socialist Jing Quee and Wang Rumei (aka Huang Hua as a translator to Edgar Snow), and the many undocumented unknowns who had sacrificed through Sook Ching (to purge through cleansing) massacres, in Yu Lang Lang and elsewhere in peninsula and Singapore as vanguards of the Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army; and completes this edition with freedom fighters in the African continent.

We hope by enjoying this edition just like the previous journals, and that you shall help to circular the New Left Malaysia magazine among peers and diaspora communities.

Salutè with Solidarity
