May 13 is 38 years old today

May 13 tragedy is 38 years today. I heard of clashes between the Chinese and Malay; gangsters of different races; Army sided the Malays. Houses burned people killed for no reason at all. In this tragedy Chinese suffered the most tragedy. The official version was the work of communist elements infiltrated into the opposition parties. In reality at that time most people agreed it was a plan attack to undermine the government by its own party. It was the leaders who couldnt wait to take over the reign of leadership..it was them who plotted the incident to bring down Tunku Abdul Rahman as PM of the country. At that time too Dato Harun Idris was the most powerful MB in Selangor only Tun Razak could reign him in. Although the ruling Alliance held a slim majority in some of the states then, the leaders found an excuse to expedite the process of Tunku's downfall. Now the documents have been declassified in UK, there one will find some truths, real hard truths of what had happened in May 13. Dr Kua will publish his views in his book and will be launched today in KL.
