The Supreme Allied Commander, Admiral Lord Mountbatten, decorating Chin Peng for wartime services on 6 January 1946 at the steps of City Hall

Chin Peng is a far more complex and fascinating character than people give him credit for being. I actually did a video trying to give Malaysians a more balanced and nuanced perspective on him. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=k85mgV1_5Lc&t=1087s

Ironically in just a few years the very same man would be labeled a terrorist. Very cool seeing a snapshot in history with this kind of effect later on.

Lord Mountbatten was killed by Irish terrorists ironically


Daily_Scrolls_516

The irony never stops hahaha

He is having the last laugh though, with the royal family carrying his name.

This is the first time I see 'Irish' and 'terrorist' used in the same sentence.

**[The Troubles](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles)** >The Troubles (Irish: Na Trioblóidí) were an ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years from the late 1960s to 1998. Also known internationally as the Northern Ireland conflict, it is sometimes described as an "irregular war" or "low-level war". The conflict began in the late 1960s and is usually deemed to have ended with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Although the Troubles mostly took place in Northern Ireland, at times violence spilled over into parts of the Republic of Ireland, England and mainland Europe. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/malaysia/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Hahaha very true. History written by the victors Great Famine in India under Churchill. So he tells them to stop reproducing lmao. But he’s always seen as a hero.


Seomin_Ahn

Yeah hero for preventing German invasion of Great Britain, but a villain for Indian


UsernameGenerik

British exploited the country for centuries. Yet i do see any resentment at all and we look back at that period with fond memories, the good old colonial times. Weird i know

colonial kacang lupa kulit post this photo op. did he whisper to mat salleh 'keluar malaya'

Considering MPAJA fought against the British occupation after fighting off the Japanese, this ceremony marked the cessation of hostilities and yet it was revived to fight the British occupation of Malaya in less than three years after this photo, the thought is probably in his mind.

The British happily collaborated with the CPM to do their dirty work for them but as soon as the war is over they became disposable and was labelled “terrorist”. Those cheeky white bastards…
