The Malayan Communist Party as Recorded in the Comintern Files

organisations should also participate, for actively mobilising the entire Party on the
bases of the line and the decisions of the 13th plenum of the ECCI and our
directives. This conference should be followed by enlarged provincial, district and
local Party conferences at which the CC should work out concrete ways and means
for carrying thru and controlling the decisions of the CC conf. Of particular
importance is that Polburo (sic) prepare a three to six months working plan of
action, on the basis of which every organization and member can be mobilized to
execute definite day to day tasks.
(2) One of the most important international tasks of the CPM (sic) is to give consistent
political guidance and organisational support to the Communist groups in the Dutch
East Indies (DEI), Siam and Burma. The CC should strengthen contact with the
Party and red TUs in these countries and train a number of cadres there, as well as
mobilize the workers and peasants in Malaya for active support of the rev. mass
movement there. We urge the CP to send a number of students, particularly native
workers and poor peasants from these countries. Send with your next representative
a detailed report covering the political situation and the position of the respective
Party organisations there.
(3) Regarding sending of delegates to the 7th World Congress of the Comintern which
has already been taken up with your representative, we urge you to immediately
send your delegate without waiting for the conclusion of the Party conf. The CSC
must prepare the report which this comrade shall make. We request to make every
effort to send one of the leading comrades from the DEI.
(4) Send three to five comrades for one or two years training, three of whom should be
Malayan (sic) or Indian workers or poor peasants, two of whom may be Chinese
providing they are industrial workers and born in Malaya.
(5) Polburo be enlarged to five members to include the general secretary, org. secretary
and secretary of the Malayan Federation of Labour, and two workers from the main
industries; amongst which, if possible, at least one Malayan and one Indian comrade
should be co-opted. Three of the PB should reside and function in Singapore, while
the other comrades should be systematically sent out to the key concentration
centers. The PB should work on the basis of stronger collective work, more concrete
division of labour and individual responsibility for the operation and control of all
decisions. 30
