Jika kita hendak mem­ buat perhubongan lain, maka kita mesti-lah perhubongan di-antara negara kita dengan negara mereka.

Ini-lah yang saya katakan tetapi tidak payah saya terangkan.

Tetapi kalau Ahli Yang Berhormat dari Batu tidak faham, saya akan beri penjelasan lagi.

Kita telah pun mendapat sokongan dan juga besar di-Majlis sokongan moral di-persidangan Cairo.
Negeri2 saperti Amerika, Britain, dan New Zealand sa-hingga Australia bukan sahaja memberi sokongan moral, tetapi sanggup memberi sokongan material atau benda2 untok menghadapi pencherobohan hanya negeri Russia, tetapi saya perchaya, Tuan Yang di-Pertua, Russia tidak akan dengan berita2 yang di-siarkan wartawan2 asing di-luar negeri saperti Times Magazine di-Australia, Telegraph, Sportsman sangat-lah Press Attache atau Pegawai2 Penerangan kita yang di-luar negeri mengambil peranan yang lebeh penting dan aktif lagi bagi menjawab dengart serta-merta kalau sa-kira-nya berita2 yang mengelirukan dengan Malaysia, tetapi hanya saya �apati Enche' Sopie sahaja yang men- 1awab.

Jadi, saya berharap Menteri Hal Ehwal Luar Negeri mengambil perhatian berat supaya perkara2 ini jangan berlaku lagi dan saya berharap juga kalau boleh press kita adakan satu international atau persuratan Reuter dan U.P.I.

Di-Indonesia juga ada "Antara", Russia ada "Tass" dan ada inter­ "Pr.avada".

Perkara ini saya chakapkan, me�andangkan keadaan kita yang Soal pertahanan gentmg sekarang.

itu bukan merupakan kapal terbang, kapal selam atau askar2 yang banyak, tetapi perang urat sarap juga mustahak ia-itu kita mesti mengadakan lebeh banyak publicity bukan sahaja dalam negeri ini tetapi juga di-luar negeri.

Tuan Yang di-Pertua, wartawan2 mengundi dalam Majlis Bangsa2 Bersatu.
Rombongan yang di-pimpin oleh Menteri Yang Berhormat Perdana Singapura tidak memadai: dengan ada­ nya membuat lawatan yang bagitu.

Saya berharap kalau sa-kira-nya ada diplomatic ini, maka dapat-lah kita sokongon banyak lagi dalam Perhimpunan Agong ��ngsa2 Bersatu yang akan datang llll.

Army ada-lah terdiri ke­ Territorial banyakan-nya daripada pemuda2, dan saya telah berdamping rapat juga dengan pemuda2 ini dan saya dapati banyak di-antara pasokan territorial army ini belum lagi dapat senapang, uniform dan alat2 yang sa-wajar-nya.
Tetapi walau bagaimana pun, saya perchaya tentera wataniah mengamalkan kata pepatah orang Padang yang mengatakan: ini selalu Berakit2 ka-hulu, Berenang2 ketepian, Bersakit2 dahulu, Bersenang2 kemudian.

Mereka memang bekerja untok mempertahankan negara.

juta yang di-untokkan wataniah ini saya harap dapat di­ gunakan wang itu dengan baik-nya.

takut kapada dua surat-khabar dari­ pada 1,000 atau 10,000 tombak.

Kalau wartawan2 ini dapat memberi pene­ rangan yang penting, maka dapat kita mengelakkan daripada perselisehan atau akan dapat lagi banyak sokongan2 moral daripada negara2 luar.
Sa-lain daripada itu, Tuan Yang di­ Pertua, berhubong dengan soal hal ehwal luar negeri dan juga penerangan, saya berharap supaya banyak lagi kita adakan perhubongan diplomatik de­ ngan negara Afrika yang mana saya telah pun berchakap dalam meshuarat yang lalu, kerana sunggoh pun kita diplomatik tidak ada perhubongan yang banyak dengan negara2 di-Afrika yang ra'ayat-nya 145,000,000 bukan soal bilangan pendudok, ini soal bilangan pengundi dalam Bangsa 2 Bersatu.
Sunggoh pun hanya 145,000,000 orang tetapi bilangan undi dalam Bangsa 2 Bersatu banyak, kerana banyak negara2 di-Afrika telah pun mendapat kemerdekaan dan dapat itu, tetapi Sa-lain daripada itu, saya tidak mahu menjawab berkenaan dengan rungutan Ahli Yang Berhormat dari­ pada PAS kelmarin yang mengatakan supaya Kerajaan mengambil timbangan ia-itu jangan-lah di-ragukan kapada ahli PAS, kerana orang PAS sedia berkhidmat kapada negara.
Saya takut rayuan yang di-buat kelmarin sa-bagai "crocodile tears" atau "menangis buaya".

Jadi, sama ada sunggoh atau tidak, tetapi saya rasa sa-bagai "mengeluarkan ayer mata" buaya sahaja.

Sekian-lah sahaja.

Enche' D. R. Seenivasagam (lpoh): Mr Speaker, Sir, I rise to say a few words in this general debate on the 2289 1 5 OCTOBER 1964 2290 ac­ required is in the local landings.
May I start at all for one now existing press reports­ of this nation, it is and the from by the Honourable votes for Information to protect the integrity confrontation that with the emergency in this country, but I am suggesting although asking for Times is usually reliable that there may be Estimates.
Supplementary off by saying that a considerable amount of the expenditure no doubt connected situation and that while I support all expendi­ ture necessary and sovereignty necessary for us, as citizens of this against a country, to caution ourselves Emer­ possible misuse of the so-called gency in this country.
I address these words to the Cabinet, or to the Govern­ ment itself, because of the recent pronouncements Minister of Finance indicating, cording to the newspapers, Straits Government sources, an increase in taxation.

I have also been informed through the Press that sirens are being installed in Kuala Lumpur and other parts of this country to sound warnings of danger.
I am sure the people of this country will now consider whether or not what the Opposition said during the election campaigns is coming true or otherwise, because during the election the Opposition the Budget presented tions was a bogus Budget-proposals not in any sense true and that it was the intention of the Government at that time to increase taxation in the very of near future.
Now, the installation sirens according to public opinion in this town of Kuala Lumpur and else­ where is this: blow your sirens loud, increase taxaition, and the people will say, "It is necessary because of Indonesian and that is the excuse this Government can have for increasing taxation.

Therefore, perhaps, instead of blowing off the sirens so early, we should blow them off just before the Budget session which may be better for the Government.
Therefore, mentary Estimates are going to be properly used and that the blowing off of sirens is not going to be merely an excuse for the increase what we are asked to do in this House is so necessary and should be done without question by the Opposition?
I am not suggesting moment that Indonesian is not serious, this Government, supplementary and Broadcasting, for example, or for Defence, is not giving the people of this country the information which they are entitled to have before supplementary votes are asked for or approved in this House.

We have from sources other than the local Press­ from international known of landings in Malaya, landings other than those disclosed Press, true or untrue, confirmed or unconfirmed.
This Government is not prepared to confirm or deny to our local Press whether there had been subsequent Saturday was there a landing by sea craft on Malayan territory, an attempted landing by sea craft on Malayan territory?

Is it confirmed or is that not confirmed?

But it appeared in international not appear in international press reports?

Why is it that the people of this country themselves are not in­ formed of it?
Why is it that suddenly we find curfew areas declared on Malayan soil, leave alone Malaysian soil?

Why is it that suddenly there is in various parts of the police activity police activity?

Why country-extreme is it that there to the is no indication people of this country as to how serious is the invasion of Malayan soil?
Mr Speaker, Sir, when the Emergency was declared and we were asked to give approval to the declara­ tion of such Emergency, we gave but it is a support to that declaration, matter of regret that I have to stand up today and say that the possible abuse of the powers under that declara­ tion of Emergency is already apparent to the people of this country.

Parties suggested that before the elec­ I do hope that these Supple­ For example, last confrontation," press reports.

campaigns was there Mr Speaker, Sir, speaking on these one has to ask oneself: is Estimates, the Emergency situation really so serious, that is it so dangerous in this country Here, speaking on the question of Mr Spea­ the Malaysian Police Force, ker, Sir, in reply to a civil question or made by the Opposi­ civil observation tion that permits for public meetings in open spaces were refused by the 2291 1 5 OCTOBER 1 964 2292 nature and this cannot of the arrogant Police at Ipoh, we got a reply from the Honourable Minister concerned which was not at all satisfactory, an answer which is indicative attitude being adopted by the minis­ terial bench in this House which is becoming more and more apparent, more and more annoying to the Oppo­ sition.
If that is the attitude being adopted by the ministerial bench, then we will have to reconsider the attitude which we have to adopt to the Govern­ ment side.

A civil question requires a civil answer, but if we are not going to get civil answers, then we shall not be civil in our questions either.

Mr Speaker, Sir, the answer given was: .. 'You can have your public meetings in enclosed places."

That is quite so.
That is quite so.

I have the information, be denied, that the directive from nigher sources to the Police was this : .. 'You can allow public meetings of a political nature in buildings.

The Police at local levels should not allow public meetings of a political in open spaces unless there is an election campaign on."
Mr Speaker, Sir, if we are asked to approve supple­ mentary votes for the Royal Malaysian Police, then I ask this : "What is the reason why public meetings in open nature are no� to spaces of a political be allowed?"

From the answer given by the Honourable I have got the impression may be communal trouble if such meetings are allowed.

Mr Speaker.

Sir, I ask, "Where is the evidence of the where possibility in the past has there been communal trouble on Malaysian soil?
Bukit Mertajam-was that communal trou­ not.

It was ble?

It was certainly trouble which started in a market place over the splashing of water, and if that is to be called communal trouble, then I say that those who call that communal trouble are fostering com­ munal trouble in this country; those who call that communal trouble are people who are trying to make a mountain out of a mole-hill.
It was just a brawl in a market place because water was spilled on one person and there was a fight between a group of persons and another group of persons.

There is no reason whatsoever to say that there is an indication trouble.

said that he has a duty to protect even Opposition Members.
If that is the argument or the logic which this Honourable Minister is going to use in this House, then it is no surprise that in the Security Council or in the United Nations we do not get better results and that Russia vetoes what­ ever we want to do either in the Security Council or in the United Nations.

Mr Speaker, Sir, answers must be logical, answers must be sensible .

(Laughter).
(Laughter).

It may raise a laugh amongst your backbenchers, but a laugh amongst your backbenchers means nothing, because a laugh amongst those who do not understand, or who are not prepared to under­ stand, means absolutely nothing what­ soever.
Mr Speaker, Sir, we in this country, who say that we pride ourselves in democracy and the practice of demo­ cracy, must appreciate one thing: that democracy can only survive if the Government in its execution of its duties allow the public, the people who democracy, to know what is establish happening in the country, and for the purpose the votes asked for under the Royal Malaysian Police must be such that the Police Force must be prepared to allow public meetings in public places.
It is all very nice to say, "You can have public meetings in an enclosed place."

But I ask this ques­ tion, "Where are you going to get your kampong folks, where are you going to get your new villagers come to an enclosed place to listen to the political events happening in this country?

How many persons can come to an enclosed place to hear a political speech by a political this country?"
trends and political party leader in to Mr Speaker, Sir, it is clear, and I say it is clear to my mind, that this Government intends to use, as a cover for dictatorial declared in this country.

It may have methods, the Emergency 2293 15 OCTOBER 1964 2294 for genuine purposes, been declared but it is being misused by the Govern­ ment of this day; and the fact that it has been misused is so clear and so blatant, because there sign of communal trouble.

Why?

One whatsoever, man lied, two men lied, three men lied, twenty men lied, everybody lied, except the Police?

It is this : "Where is your evidence were beaten? "

You expect the evidence in a dark room?

You were beaten by one policeman and you expect the say, "I saw this policeman witness to beat you"?

Is that the way the Police works?

Is that the way the Legal Department Attorney-General's interests after the country?

I ask you I also ask, therefore, sity for increased to allow that situation this country?
I ask, what is the protec­ tion that this Government give to citizens Police Stations Stations know that, but even the Alliance know that it Members of Parliament has happened; and I see that the Honourable area is smiling that himself has been to the Police Stations to help those people.

There are two alternatives people of Penang to do for their future livelihood, and I refer in this particular to the people of Penang Island instance in particular have to retain their free port status and try and deve­ lop industries more in the line of tourism, or else they have to understand that these words by the Honourable the Prime Minister are words which are writings "they have to be persuaded the question market."

We have now got new experts who say that you can put up a port in Penang with six deep water wharves.

It is Speaker, because of our historical background and the fact that we all come from the same region that I feel we would not to make lose anything approaches and seek for alternatives to impasse.

There is nothing more they can do, except to spend more money-and that because of Malaysia.

Therefore, Mr Speaker, Sir, say this, and to ask the Government this question : Should not further to take us out of avenues be explored this impasse and this antagonism with Indonesia?

He suggeste detainees over in a boat.

I can assure the Honour­ able Member that the of bringing the detainees taken into consideration-it that there was no boat available; but what is more important, Sir, the deci­ sion to bring these 50 detainees by flying them here was taken as a matter of security precaution.
For us it was easier to take security precautions had been flown over travelling Member for Batu also suggested that the Government nal attitude by, as he suggested, taking them on a conducted tour throughout let them see we have in this country.

in Recalling not only by the Members on the Govern­ time, and in Council Resolution Member for Batu but by accept a Conciliation views of the Afro­ in of Afro-Asian countries and as suggested Sir, the second point Member for Batu with Dato' Dr Ismail: that the Honourable made was an observation dealing external affairs.

Now, I would like to quote him.


He said, "The Socialist Front would like to urge the ment not to wast� any further but straightaway Commission as agreed earlier the Security keeping with the Asian nations."

Sir, this observation regard to the Afro-Asian Commission has been mentioned Honourable other Honourable to Opposition bench also.
I would like what was make quite clear to this House intended by the Security lution on this Afro-Asian Commission, and to do that, Sir, being tedious, I would like from the Report of the Security which has been circulated to Honour­ able Members, who, I am sure, have not taken the trouble, Oppo­ especially sition members, to read what is con­ document.
tained in this Now, Sir, I would not like to quote all the speeches that would take too much time and we have not got too much time to spare, thanks to the time taken Members in introducing irrelevant matters would like just to quote the speeches made by Mr Nielsen when he intro­ duced his motion, which was accepted by nine out of eleven members Security Mr Nielsen of the Now, Sir, this is what when making their speeches.

I has to say.
I has to say.

I quote-I will by the Opposition Council Reso­ at the expense of there, because Council.

valuable Council to quote Now, let us hear what Mr Nielsen has to say in explaining He said: the resolution.

"First, in our view there can remain no reasonable doubt that the incident, as described by Malaysia, took place on 2nd September, 1 964, nor can there b e any reasonable doubt that other incidents have occurred in that whole region.
We believe that it is the duty of the Council t o express have incidents regret and deplore that such taken place.

We can understand why it would possibly the views of all members of the Council if it took upon itself to condemn; but surely, we should regret and deplore.
not be i n accordance with Secondly, there can be n o doubt in our mind that the Security Council in dealing with this complaint, dealings, must have as its guidance the as well a s in all its other 2345 15 OCTOBER 1 964 2346 relevant relevant provision in operative obligation upon themselves provisions of the Charter.

And one of the Charter is quoted Afro-Asian Conciliation on any term.

as the parties, addressed addressed to be a very appropriate call by the Council in matters of this character.

and well-justified And it seems Lastly, this draft resolution has a very concerned a recom­ to important operative paragraph, mendation to the Governments resume their talks, and also on the basis which i s agreed by the three parties.
I had noted that no member of the Council has disassociated itself from the result of the conversations parties' member of the Council disassociated itself from a resumption I should think that this operative paragraph which should command the unanimous support, I am sure, of the Council."

Therefore, had any Then he says : "There is a certain sequence, which I want to mention, built into the draft resolu­ tion.
It stems b oth from the fact that the 'call' upon the parties, which I quoted and commented upon, precedes the recommenda­ tion to the parties to resume their talks, and from the fact that in the last paragraph­ the fifth one-it specifically This sequence i s a sequence which to my Government is obvious.

You do not nego­ tiate, be it in business, be it in labour relations or be i t in any other outstanding questions as well as an external political nature, under duress.

this goes for all three says 'thereupon'.

of an internal distorted the inten­ there?

I may be Now, Sir, how has the Member for Batu distorted the resolution of the Security Council, and how have the other Members of the Opposition of this Parliament tion of the resolution excused if I accuse them of toeing the line.

This is what the Indonesian would like us to do­ Indonesians when their troops are on our negotiate soil.
I do commend to the Honourable Members of the Opposition, that we should negotiate that they read this valuable I think they have the intelligence understand on any term, document.

who say to it.

Then, the Honourable Member went on to explain why we should have this Dato' Dr Ismail: Well, it is implied in any case.

It is implied there when you do not qualify when you talk of an Afro-Asian Conciliation Commis­ sion.
Let us not hear any more of this nonsense of going to talk with the Indonesians without pr e-conditions ; and w e must talk only i n accordance with the Security Council.

in more tangible observation Now, Sir, his other was in regard to his visit to Batu Gajah Camp, and here he began by Detention thanking the then of Acting Minister Home Affairs, the Honourable the Deputy Prime Minister, for having allowed him to do so.
Sir, had he expressed his gratitude forms, it would have been more appre­ ciated by the Members of the Govern­ ment Bench.

Now, Sir, when the Honourable Member was given the permission to visit the Batu Gajah Detention that Camp, it was understood he would like to see to the welfare of there.

It was never for the detainees by the Honourable once suspected the Acting Prime Minister that he would be acting in the role of a snoop, and that is what he had been doing.
He had been asking questions mandant of the Camp.

Now, Sir, as a Member of this House, he responsible can ask the M inister he can make comments in this House, and not to go snooping the junior officers of the Camp who, knowing that he is an Honourable Member of this House, would naturally be frightened M ember of the House.

of the fact that he is a around and asking responsible, Com­ from the Dr Tan Chee Khoon: Mr Speaker, tion.

I did not Sir, on a point of clarifica around.


When I was there, go snooping Commandant and there was the Camp there were two Special Branch officers.

And I can assure the Honourable Minister that the Camp Commandant was in no way afraid of me; he wasn't afraid of me at all.

I do not see was snooping around.


I was room, and I was not allowed to around, and I asked questions how I seated in a move in the 2347 1 5 OCTOBER 1 964 2348 d the Camp Commandant but presence of the Camp Commandant and two Special Branch officers.

Dato' Dr Ismail: Mr Speaker, Sir, Member intended as well.

(Laughter).

How a m I am not a crystal gazer.

I do not know what the Honourable to say.

But this is what he said.

He questione he never said that he sat with the other detainees I to know that?
I am n o t a crystal gazer, and I have got to conclude my observation from what h e said and not from what he was supposed to say.
So, not say "to Sir, I would like-I would warn him" because warning is not liked by the Members of the Opposi­ tion-to say that this visit detainees only granted by the Minister considers it very necessary, and I would not like that privilege because it would be withdrawn-I not care what the Members of the Opposition may like to say in this House; it will not be given if Honour­ able Members choose to abuse that per­ mission given to them to see the detainees .
They are there to see to the welfare of the detainees how the detainees are getting on and not to go and ask questions members of the Detention completely under my authority.

to which is when he from the staff who are i s a privilege and just to see to be abused, permission do Dr Tan Chee Khoon: Mr Speaker, with the detainees, Sir, on a point of clarification, I do not see how I abused the privilege.

First of all, I thanked the Honourable Acting Minister of Home Affairs, the Deputy Prime Minister.
During the course of my conversation certain facts were brought up, as I quoted yesterday, such as the study of the national language, the lack of re­ and the like.

I have facilities creational brought these to the attention of the Minister concerned in the form of questions for written replies and merely quoted.

So, I do not see how I abused my privilege.

As I stated before, very grateful I was for this opportunity.
Dato' Dr Ismail: Sir, since the Member does not under­ it quite clear that Member is given Honourable stand, I will make when an Honourable permission to visit the detainees, he is not supposed to go and query the Commandant as to what his attitudes are, what should be done and should not be done in the Camp.

If you do not want to go, you can ask question s i n Parliament, responsible to embarrass of the Administration able of giving the information may require, wrong information.
who are incap­ that you or they may give you the in my M inistry-and not any subordinate you can write to those officers Dr Tan Chee Khoon: Mr Speaker, Sir, I hate to interrupt the Honourable Minister .

.

Dato' Dr Ismail: Sir, I do not g ive way because I h ave not much time to reply to all the points.
I can see the number of pages taken to report his speech ; and if I were to give way now to him, then there my colleagues tions of the Members of the Opposit ion, and we will be accused of warming our seats and failing to answer the observa­ will be no time for in our duties.

to found hanging the Straits Times by the Now, Sir, the Honourable Member quoted from the Straits Times about the case of Ong Geong Ing who, to him, was according in his cell.
He did not make it clear that that report from was in respect of the last inquest Coroner; but it may be of interest to know that the Honourable Member the resumption of the inquest has been fixed for October 2 1 st.

He may have given the wrong impression to this House that the verdict has been given on this case, whereas the inquest is going to be resumed on the 2 1 st of October.

sio n , what did he say now?


He said, "I hope the Honourable Home Affairs will look into this matter and punish the guilty ones. "

What kind of logic is that when you try to invoke the practice quoted from the verdict to punish the guilty ones.

Am I going to be a Gestapo chief and try to punish these people when of the Court is open and nobody is going to be blamed?

", when by his very words from the Times the quotation from verdict was open ;· and who are the guilty ones that I am supposed to punish?

Am I going to go and get a few warders and just make them scape­ the Honour­ goats in order to satisfy able Member's pathological request?

(Laughter).

Dato' Dr Ismail: Mr Speaker, Sir, I have got very much more to say, but I am not.
trying to be intolerant and we are fighting against time.

The Honourable Member was given the opportunity to state his case clearly and not be so ambiguous so that the thing will boomerang against him.

Now, when he has got the boomerang, he wants another opportunity to reply.

I think this is a lesson to him to be careful when he makes a speech in this House, so that he will not be hanged by his own petard.
Now, Sir, I come to the Honourable Member for lpoh, who happens to sit Member for next to the Honourable Batu.

But, unlike the Honourable Member for Batu, he happens to be absent although outside the House I told him that I was going to deliver him and he told me a barrage against that he would be present, but as usual you cannot predict what the Honour­ able Member would do.
"If that is the attitude being adopted by Bench, then we will have to the Ministerial reconsider which we have to adopt to the G-0vernment side.

Sir, I will accept the challenge from ber for lpoh-if he does not want to be civil, I can outmatch him in that respect.
However, I would like to warn the Honourable Member for the tactics which may prove to b e successful in the Courts, where he can bully and then try witnesses and gain his point, will not If he tries work with this Government.

axle of a wheel this House make to placate the Party in lpoh that of his Now, let us come to the facts of the kind case, leaving aside his peculiar of logic.

What did he say about this Emergency?

I would like to quote him.

This is what the Honourable Member for lpoh said : Now, in his speech, the Honourable Member for lpoh accused me and the Members of the Ministerial Bench for being arrogant.

Now, let us see on what grounds did he accuse us of being arrogant.
Let me just quote him-he said: " M r Speaker, Sir, when the Emergency of such Emer­ was declared and we were asked to give approval to the declaration gency, we gave support to that declaration, but it i s a matter of regret that I have to stand up today and say that the p ossible abuse of of Emergency is already apparent to the people of this country."

Let us examine his of all, that the reasons.

is not giving the which people of this country the information 2351 1 5 OCTOBER 1 964 2352 this question to the House.

Now, let us see what he says about the Police: "What is the protection Govern­ ment is going to give to citizens who are locke d in Police Stations and walloped in Police Stations by policemen? "
that this knows of such cases, and if he from beating pri­ As a lawyer he should know that there is a law in this country prohi­ biting policemen soners, he being a lawyer, he can probably act in defence of the men.

He may charge or may not charge me, that is his own look out.

But that is the remedy which is provided in any parliamentary democracy.

Then he says: "What is the protection you are going to evidence to show give?

to have before supplemen­ they are entitled tary votes are asked for or approved in this House.

We have from sources other than the local Press-from International press reports-known of landings in Malaya, landings other than those disclosed in the local Press, true or untrue, confirmed or unconfirmed.

This Government is not prepared to confirm or deny to our local Press whether there had been subsequent landings.
there a landing by sea craft territory, sea craft on Malayan territory firmed or is that not confirmed ?

But it press reports.

Did appeared in international it not appear in international press reports?

Why is it that the people of this country themselves are not informed of it?

Why is it that suddenly we find curfew areas declared on Malayan soil, leave alone Malaysian soil? "

was there an attempted landing by ?


Is it con­ For example, last Saturday was on M alayan Those are his examples that the Government has abused the Emer­ gency power.

If he had been here to listen to the speech during the adjournment of the House by the Honourable Minister of Information , in reply t o the speech made by the Honourable Member for Batu, he would have known the reason why some of the news trickled to the foreign press rather than to our local Press .
However, unlike most parlia­ mentarians, he only wants to come to this House to hear himself speak rather than others.

must Further, he goes on to say that I take measures to punish these police­ men.

Now, when he himself cannot produce evidence to show that such acts had been done, how can he ask me to punish these policemen arbitra­ rily?
He s hould be thoroughly ashamed to call himself a learned Member of this House, when he tries to urge the Honourable Justice is meant by justice in any parlia­ mentary democracy.

Just because he cannot produce evidence to prove that a policeman has walloped a prisoner, he wants me to take action arbitrarily This is the kind of logic that the Honourable Member is trying to put to this House.

Minister of to do an act contrary to what to punish that policeman.
to our to the Press and the Press on how many With regard, Sir, to the curfew that is imposed i n Johore, we cannot inform the public the reason before­ hand, as it may jeopardize the action, and it may give information enemies.

But the news of the opera­ tion there, as a result of the curfew, are given had been reporting Indonesians were killed and captured in that operation.

This is a very good example of the pure the Honourable Member for Ipoh.
He talks about we trying to be arrogant a n d dictatorial stop the laughing not think that that is dictatorial.

I think he should be sent, and I recom­ mend it to the Honourable Prime Minister, to a parliamentary course to are conducted see how debates , but when he tries to Honourable Members from at jokes made by me he does imagination of there.
Then he brought up this question about the Police-he always brings Finally, he goes on to the question about the procedure of a lawyer a ppearing before the Advisory Com­ mittee, or the proced lawyers are allowed to defend a detainee and he quoted the opinion of the International Commission of Jurists.

He says: when a detainee is arrested, ure by which "Mr Speaker, Sir, the Internati onal Com­ mission of Jurists does not approve of that action.

the Opposition bers are not here when we reply to them-accused that it was a waste of money and that I was misinformed when I brought specimen of arms to the Security Council as one of our evidence.

Sir.
Sir.

the Honourable Member is totally ignorant of international politics, and not only ignorant of international but he has not politics even got the courtesy to read the Report which had been circulated to Honourable Members with regard to the proceedings Council-not because I was the Leader of the Delegation there but because that report is important to1 our country because it affects greatly our confron­ If he had read tation with Indonesia.
the Report, and he had seen the pictures included in that booklet, he would see that the arms were in the Security Council.

So, it is not true to say that it was a waste of money to bring the Council.

I have not got much time to tell you the reasons why we did not try to seek the permission of of the Security knew that we could get our way with­ out trying to secure such permission the President Council, because we arms to the Security in the Security displayed .

He used the same arguments , that we should go and talk in order to secure peace.
If I inter­ pret him as best as I can, I think he wants us to adopt the policy of appeasement; in other words, to talk to Indonesia· even when their troops are on our s oil.

Then he tried to j ustify fight why he did not support fully our against Indonesia because, he said, he is against' the concept of Malaysia and so if he subscribes to our resistence to this confrontation, that means he is which he is not, and anti-Indonesia, it is difficult for him to support therefore our efforts against Indonesia.
That is the involved thinking at this stage in the Socialist Malaya.

When groups of Socialist Front members are being arrested from the leaders are loud protestations saying, " We are not responsible for them.

They act individually, are not responsible for their acts . "

Now, what kind of party is it when you have no discipline, when you allow great numbers of your members to to be sent across subvert this country, to Indonesia to be trained?

And then you say, "Well, we are not responsible for them."
At least they should make an effort, even if they fail; we will help them.

which falls within my portfolio-and that is the suggestion States should of the United Nation what the Honourable mind.

But in the and where there is nobody in that territory, administration is given it is for that reason a territory over to the United Nations as a trust territory have a case in point in respect South-West trusteeship case of the Borneo territor has never been any dispute as to the desires of the peoples of the Borneo territories Member has chosen to ignore the fact that there have been many commis­ sions, or committees, to assess the views and the desires of the people in the Borneo territories ment of the views of these people, they are certain, except for a very, very small minority, that all the others would prefer to join Malaysia, and as a result of that we have set up Malaysia.
There has been the Cobbold Commission, there has been the decision of the people themselves through their representatives called the Solidarity Committee, and, lastly, the Committee sent by the United Nations.

Therefore, there is no question of the dispute as to whom these terri­ tories belong.

The desire of the people is to join Malaya and Singapore and set up or establish Malaysia.

It is a foregone conclusion.


The only trouble has been nesia had taken exception opposed it, and as a result of their opposition had carried out what we called "confrontation".

If the Honour­ able Member is clear in his mind, he should know that there is no rhyme or reason for this has been no ground for it whatsoever.
The Security Council of the United Nations has decided, except for the votes of the Communist countries, that Malaysia is an established fact that recognised by the United Nations, Indonesia to has no right whatsoever violate this territory by any acts of aggression or acts of confrontation, and that they should try and settle any dispute, amicably-and decided in the Security United Nations followed by another that Indo­ to it and had which they have in mind that is as has been what we now call confrontat Council of the ion; there by 2359 1 5 OCTOBER 1 9 64 2360 decision taken by the non-aligned countries.

As a result of that, come what may.

We mean to stand by our commitment.

And even treaty formed for the purpose On the other for admission into the non­ on the ground that three and then a further three us of non­ is only to s top us brought up again by the Honourable Member, is that perhaps I should really try and make peace with Soekarno .

There has never been an or any suggestion, at any instance, time, that I refuse to talk to Soekarno.

We have had talks in three places­ first, in Tokyo; then, in Manila; and then in Tokyo again.
If the Honour­ able Member had been present at these talks, he would have known that Soekarno never had any intention of making peace.

He was only leading me on a wild goose chase on this idea of peace .

In actual fact, the places where he had dragged me for these talks had been those places where he could find most amusement.

now, as I have disclosed yesterday, there had been, first, approaches asking me to talk with Soekarno.
I have replied that I will talk any time, any day, and anywhere, provided he has a real intention talking peace, and provided too that he is ready to observe our sovereignty and our independence.

If he does so, the only sensible thing, and the only logical thin� for him to do, is to with­ draw his troops from these territories of Malaysia.

Until he has decided do so, I cannot see any point in going when he has to meet him, no real desire of making peace.
Never­ theless, I say, and I reiterate am prepared to meet him anywhere, provided he is keen, he is really anxious to make peace.

That is, as far as I can say, in reply to the points raised by the Honourable Member from the Opposition any reply from me.

As a result of that, Members are as Honourable aware, the voting was very much in our favour and Soekarno felt rather awkward and embarrassed much so that he was not present to· sign the declaration the end of the Conference.

Therefore, there is no need for us to hand over these Borneo territories, which form part of ourselves, to the United Nations as a trust territory.

any suggestion United Nations be handed over as a trust territory, except, of course, the suggestion that Front.
All comes from the Socialist along, it has been the suggestion of the Front that they have never Socialist opposed Malaysia but that they only opposed the way it was brought into being.

This is an old song and I have replied to it many times in the House, and there is perhaps no need for me to go back on that again.
Suffice for me to say that Malaysia has been formed, it is a fait accompli, and there is no suggestion from any direction for Another matter, which affects my Ministry, was raised by the Honour­ able Member for Batu.

He has sug­ gested, among other ·things, that there is delay in preparing the Official Debates.

of Justice whether he is emanating by Mr neglected most emphatically.
I would like to refute But I would like to clear one point, Sir.

If the allegation Member from Sarawak Mr Speaker, the Honourable means that the present holder of the post and his subordinate officers have intentionally to ensure the smooth and efficient running of the Department, that allegation Lo Suan Hiang is a very capable person, he has served in several Departments.
tive officer, he was an establishment officer and he was a District In any event, we are not complacent about what is going on in respect of this Department in Sarawak, and I personally have issued instructions those sections of the Registrar­ General's Department, under the Ministry of Justice, how things can be improved in order not to cause undue delay, undue hard­ ship, to the people in Sarawak.

He was an administra­ which come to see Officer.


to Now, I would like to touch on some made by the of the observations Member for lpoh.

He has Honourable said that although a state of war has not been declared between the Fede­ ration of Malaysia and Indonesia, nevertheless, there exists a shooting sia.
For that reason, he argues that we on our part should treat Indonesian for all practical war in Malay­ purposes territory transgressed upon the territory-they bin Ya'kub: Enche' Abdul-Rahman says fact that the statement in Indonesian .

The fact, which I am where our men, our , our Border Scouts, etc., have Sir, the that they will attack does not necessa­ rily mean that they have attacked and that they have are two Indonesian different things.
What I am saying jus·t now is that not a single incidence has occurred soldiers been arrested by Indonesia sure my friend over there cannot deny and will agree with me, is that some of our men have been taken from our side of the border to the Indonesian territory except, of course, in the case of some fishermen, innocent people, who want to earn their living, and there occurred such instances.
The main argument is this : we do not send our soldiers and, to Indonesia therefore , the argument by the Honourable Member for Ipoh that Indonesia will reciprocate, our people properly, when they are arrested, does not hold water at all.

Whether or not there j ustly and fairly will treat 2375 15 OCTOBER 1 964 2376 any ca�e within twenty-four hours .

In my view, and I do not thmk the Honour disag�ee w ith me on this point, this practice ensures that an arrested person who has been detained will have ample time to consult his legal adviser able Member will if need be.

The happy situation m which I now find myself is, of course, due to the fact that this debate has, as usual run true to form in the sense that Ho�ourable Members of t�e Opposition h�ve ranged over practically every possible t�at of finance.
