1. A Mr Mark Curtis wrote an article about the “forgotten” war in Malaya (read here).
2. He believes that it was an uprising by people wrongly described as Communist to free Malaya from British rule.
3. And he is right of course. Britain has always supported migration. During colonial days Britain brought Indians and Chinese to Malaya. Britain was surprised when these people rose against the Raj.
4. But now people are migrating to Britain. So far most of them are Arabs, Indians and Africans.
5. Britain should encourage the Chinese to come to Britain. The Chinese have a record of prospering the countries they migrate to. Look at Singapore. A tiny island and yet the only developed South East Asian country.
6. Malaysia too. Of course, China is now the second biggest economy in the world.
7. If 30% of the population of Britain is Chinese, Britain will be prosperous.
8. Of course they might stage an insurrection.
9. Not to worry. You did manage to save your rubber estates in Malaya as pointed out by Mark.
10. You can do the same for Britain.
11. Thank you Mr Mark Curtis. You are right. I have forgotten about the war in Malaya. But now I remember.
