Causes that lead to:
\(^-^)/RACE RIOTS IN 1964!!
Different reasons have been cited for the riots. Malaysia Deputy Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak ,Tun Abdul Razak blamed ethnic Indonesian and Communist provocateurs.
On the other hand, Singapore Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew and several foreign observers attributed the riots as the result of agitation by Syed Jaafar albar and other elements of the ultra-nationalist faction in United Malays National Organization .According to the Australian Deputy High Commissioner, W.B.Pritchett:
"...there can be no doubt that UMNO was solely responsible for the riots. Its members ran the communal campaign or allowed it to happen."
The riots occurred during the period when the People's Action Party (PAP) and UMNO relations were severely strained after the PAP challenged the UMNO in the March 1964 Malaysia Federation. PAP ran on the campaign slogan of Malaysian Malaysia. In addition, analysts suggested the participation of Chinese Secret Societies in the riots increased the level of violence.
The Malaysia Racial Riots, based mostly in Kualar Lumpur, occurred five years later on 13 May 1969, also following an election, one in which racial tensions were fed.
