In 1964, CHIN Peng, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Malaya (MCP) was invited by the Communist Party of Vietnam to visit Hanoi. During the visit, CHIN Peng discovered that the Communist Party of Thailand had set up an underground radio station in northern Vietnam to broadcast the party's message to the public. An idea of setting up a similar radio station was then conceived. After returned to Beijing, CHEN Ping proposed the idea of establishing a radio station to the Communist Party of China (CCP). However, the CCP rejected the request of establishing a radio station due to the “Tokin Gulf Incident” in August 1964. The incident has taken the situation of the International Cold War to a serious level. Towards the end of 1966, when the situation changed, the CCP decided to develop CPM’s radio station by providing them with the location, equipment and technicians. On 15 November 1969, MCP's radio station ''Voice of Malayan Revolution'' (VMR) officially was launched. The radio station was located in Sifang Mountain, Yuejiaqiao, Heshan District, Yiyang City, Hunan Province, People’s Republic of China. After broadcasting for 12 years, VMR was shut down on 30 June 1981.This paper sorts out the establishment of the ''Voice of Malayan Revolution'' radio station, its staffing level, organizational structure and programmes, in order to discuss the impact of VMR on the Malaysian Communist Party based at the border of Thailand-Malaysia and the left-wing movement in Malaysia. |
