13 May 1969: A Historical Survey of Sino-Malay Relations

In his refreshingly insightful and sensitive work, Leon Comber, a former member of the British Malayan police who turned academic, picks his way sensitively through the events that transformed Malaysian society and politics.

This book offers an account of the events and influences ; be they social, economic or political which culminated in the breakdown of Sino-Malay relations, and erupted into the violent racial riots of 13 May 1969.
