Zahid: Chin Peng’s ashes can't be brought back to Malaysia

MALACCA: The Government will not allow the ashes of Communist Party of Malaya (CPM) leader Chin Peng to be brought back to Malaysia, said Home Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi on Sunday. 

"We will not allow his ashes to be brought back as we are sensitive to the feelings of the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the soldiers, policemen and others whose family members were killed or maimed by the brutal CPM insurgents," he said.
