Chin Peng, former PKM leader, offered an apology to the victims and families of the Communist Party of Malaya’s acts of violence during the long years of its insurgency. In the past, Chin Peng had been unrepentant over the loss of lives, nor regretted taking up the armed struggle. He also remains a committed communist. He said he did not expect the public to forgive him for the past but hoped they could put their differences behind them.
Chin Peng lost his court battle last year to be allowed to return to Malaysia. During the interview in Bangkok, he talked about his living arrangements; his relationship with his children and his source of funds. He also alleged that he was prevented from returning because the Government played him out soon after the Peace Accord.

Comment:
In my opinion, I think that Chin Peng has the right to come back to Malaysia because he is still a Malaysian, who was participated in the war leading the Malayan communist party. For his past, he was a leader of PKM but it was the past. He has the right to return to his home country. Chin Peng was right about the spirit of his during the time he led the PKM by taking full responsiblity to protect his PKM and fight for their right. It was a war, once we step into a battlefield then we must fight to the victory without stepping back and returning back. As I said, it was the past of Chin Peng's life and he has the right to return and his body as well should be buried at Setiawan, Perak where he was born.
