MALAYAN REDS’ CAMPAIGN OF TERROR
(NZ.P. A.—Reuter—Copyright.)
(10 a.m.) SINGAPORE, June 14
Violence and intimidation continue throughout Malaya. Sixty European planters living on 10 estates in the Rengam district met tonight to arrange mutual protection and assistance to the police.
The Straits Times says that unofficial reports have suggested the Communist regime in the Rengam district is at present eliminating the Kuomlntang leaders, three of whom were murdered on the night of June 12 and intends to murder later the European estate managers.
Twelve Chinese Communist gangsters, armed with tommyguns, Sten guns and revolvers last night critically wounded the . Kuomintang Chinese foreman of a rubber estate near Malacca.
Other gangsters last night shot dead a Chinese on a Johore rubber estate apparently in mistake for a brother who is a well-known contractor.
In a community clash at Perak, with no political connections, Malays, armed with knives, slashed to death four Chinese at Lengong. The Communist-dominated PanMalayan Federation of Trade Unions, will meet at Kuala Lumpur shortly to discuss the Government's ban.
