Rahim: Return of Chin Peng’s ashes should never have been an issue


PETALING JAYA: Having the ashes of former Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) leader Chin Peng back on Malaysian soil should never have been an issue, said former Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Rahim Noor.

Rahim was the director of the Special Branch who was instrumental in brokering the peace deal with the communist party in the 1980s, culminating in the signing of the Hat Yai Peace Accord in 1989.
