| description | Malay radicals have not been given the recognition they deserved either
through the national narrative or by the Malaysian government although
individually leaders of this group like Dr. Burhanuddin Al-Helmy, Ishak
Haji Muhammad and even Ahmad Boestamam have been accorded some
form of recognition since 1957, notably through museum displays or by
states like Pahang and Sarawak. This issue was first publicly raised by
Jaafar Hussin in his autobiography Kebenaran (The Truth) which was
published by Dewan Bahasa & Pustaka in 1989. Syed Muhd Khairuddin
provided various reasons for this situation including what he termed the
"Indonesian cum socialist-centric" perspective that placed the Malay
radicals in the context of revolutionary developments in Java-Sumatra
which provided them ideas, programs and so forth. What emerged from
Radicals: Resistance and Protest in Colonial Malaya is a more balance
account of the Malay Left. In short, Syed Muhd Khairudin had rescued them
from their peripheral place in the official narrative and placed their legacy in
its rightful position in Malaysian political history. |
