Abstract :

When Japan attacked China in 1937, the Kuomintang and the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) as well as Chinese organizations in Malaya boycotted Japanese goods and collected donations to help China, an act that annoyed the British. However, with the outbreak of the Second World War, the MCP, which led the anti-Japanese movement, and the British, forged cooperation that brought about the birth of the Malayan People’s Anti-Japanese Army in January 1942. Political work in the MCP generally involved aspects of mass organization, propaganda, united front, wireless communication, politics and culture as well as the arts and sports as can be seen in the organizational framework of the 10th Regiment, the wholly Malay fighting unit that was established by the MCP on 21 May 1949. A propaganda department, propaganda corps and Red Theatre were three machineries that were closely related to the efforts to broadcast CCP programmes and disseminate revolutionary ideas, to win the people’s confidence.
