No forgiveness for Chin Peng, says Muhyiddin


PUTRAJAYA: The government is sticking to its earlier decision in rejecting the return of former Malayan Communist Party (MCP) secretary-general Chin Peng to the country, said Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.

As it had stated earlier, the government was sensitive to the sentiments of the people who were still angry over the terrorist acts committed by the communist leader during the emergency years, he told reporters after chairing the 7th Meeting of the National Minerals Council, here Tuesday.

He said this when asked to comment on the apology by the former MCP leader published by a local English daily Monday.

However, if there was any change in the decision, the matter must be discussed again at the Cabinet meeting but the earlier decision remained.

"As of now, there is no forgiveness for you (Tiada Maaf Bagimu)," he said. - Bernama
