Who’s afraid of the big, bad commie?

In today’s world, the once scary communism ideology is gone with the wind, like Chin Peng’s ashes.

FROM young, I’ve been aware that my late father’s job as a policeman was to protect the nation from CTs, short for communist terrorists.

Dad was always reticent about his work but he documented his experience as a frontline Special Branch officer in the Emergency (1948-1960) in his unpublished memoirs.
