BRIEF AUS SINGAPUR: Bei den Banditen von Malaya
LETTER FROM SDINGAPUR: With the Bandits of Malaya

Summary/Abstract: For the Chinese in Malaya as in China itself, the word „bandit“ has a familiar sound, which is why it is not misleading them. For the rest of the world, however, the use of the term "bandit" puts the fighting in Malaya into a wrong perspective and makes it harder to understand the nature of an enemy who has been in the field for three and a half years. It‘s an enemy, who is currrently binding more than a hundred thousand men of the regular and aid police, as well as forty thousand men of the British, Ma-lay, and Gurkha groups - troops which, apart from the five battalions of the Malaysian regiment, could much better be used elsewhere.
