Oh yeah, this is at his private condo. Where he often use to isolate himself especially on 13th May in every year.

:bulletred: Why? Let's learn history~ :iconsmartyplz: :bulletblue:

:bulletorange: Malaysia, after some time for war; Confrontation War with Indonesia and Philippines, the country was back to peace. The war ended in 1966. A year after Singapore Republic was separated from the federation.

:bulletorange: Thanks to Arthur Kirkland England for inviting Chinese and Indians to Malaysia- Chinese were in for mining jobs, and Indians were in for rubber tree plantation and of course, TRADING.

:bulletorange: In the year, 1969 (several years later), Malaysia was still in a civilizing level. Somehow, the Malays was feeling a bit, that is too unfair for having a lot of Chinese in the country.

:bulletorange: The Chinese WAS making so much trouble, existing some gangsters in the city of Kuala Lumpur, the state of Perak and others. Two largest gangster named Ghee Hin and Hai San were strong. And they dominated almost all the city.

:bulletorange: The riot ignited the capital Kuala Lumpur and the surrounding area of Selangor – according to Time, spreading throughout the city in 45 minutes.[6] Many people in Kuala Lumpur were caught in the racial violence – dozens were injured and some killed, houses and cars were burnt and wrecked, but except for minor disturbances in Malacca, Perak, Penang and Singapore, where the populations of Chinese people were similarly larger, the rest of the country remained calm. Although violence did not occur in the rural areas, Time found that ethnic conflict had manifested itself in subtler forms, with Chinese businessmen refusing to make loans available for Malay farmers, or to transport agricultural produce from Malay farmers and fishermen.[7]

:bulletorange:Incidents of violence continued to occur in the weeks after 13 May, with the targets now being not only Malay or Chinese but also Indian. It is argued that this showed that "the struggle has become more clearly than ever the Malay extremists' fight for total hegemony."[8]

:bulletorange:According to police figures, 196 people died[9] and 149 were wounded. 753 cases of arson were logged and 211 vehicles were destroyed or severely damaged. An estimated 6,000 Kuala Lumpur residents – 90% of them Chinese[verification needed] – were made homeless.[9] Various other casualty figures have been given, with one thesis from a UC Berkeley academic, as well as Time, putting the total dead at ten times the government figure.[8][10]

:bulletorange: The 1964 Race Riots in Singapore contributed to the expulsion of that state from Malaysia on 9 August 1965, and racial tension continued to simmer, with many Malays dissatisfied by their newly independent government's perceived willingness to placate the Chinese at their expense.

:bulletorange: Western observers said thru newspapers ; “ The Chinese and Indians resented Malay-backed plans favoring the majority, including one to make Malay the official school and government language. The poorer, more rural Malays became jealous of Chinese and Indian prosperity. Perhaps the Alliance's greatest failing was that it served to benefit primarily those at the top. ... For a Chinese or Indian who was not well-off, or for a Malay who was not well-connected, there was little largesse in the system. Even for those who were favored, hard feelings persisted. One towkay recently told a Malay official: "If it weren't for the Chinese, you Malays would be sitting on the floor without tables and chairs." Replied the official: "If I knew I could get every damned Chinaman out of the country, I would willingly go back to sitting on the floor."[14] ”

:bulletorange: Many political analysts attributed the Malay "crutch mentality" syndrome to have arisen from 13 May, and a direct result of the affirmative NEP programme. This had resulted to abnormally large proportion of younger generation of Malays not being able to compete not only internationally but also nationally.

:bulletorange: The 13 May Incident led to affirmative action policies, such as the New Economic Policy (NEP), after 1969 and the creation of Kuala Lumpur as a Federal Territory out of Selangor state in 1974, five years later.

:bulletorange: Officially, 196 people were killed between 13 May and 31 July as a result of the riots, although journalists and other observers have stated much higher figures. Other reports at the time suggest over 2,000 were killed by rioters, police and Malaysian Army rangers, mainly in Kuala Lumpur. Many of the dead were quickly buried in unmarked graves in the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital grounds by soldiers of Malaysian Engineers.


Well, of course, KLites would be very traumatized that time. Yes.... :(

Actually, I also have read one more forum, the riot happened when Muslim Malays having Prophet Muhammad's Birthday Parade, and the Chinese gangsters won't let them to continue the parade.

Feeling so angry, they started a riot with weapons. Dead bodies were all over the road. The riot was between Sino-Malay. Maybe some Indians joined too, not sure .


Some researchers said, it may because of Singapore Race Riots too, which I dun wanna argue... >>> [link] and [link]

Hope you read ^_^
