Even Lee Kuan Yew’s PAP was infiltrated by S. B.

As I was reading Lee Kwan Yew’s Memoirs, “The Singapore story” in Kemta prison, I recall a chapter on a Singapore Assemblyman, one Mr Nair who came back to Peoples Action Party(PAP) after having earlier crossed over to Barisan Socialist. Mr Nair had come back to PAP before a crucial voting in Parliament and if the PAP had lost there was the risk of Singapore falling to the hands of the communists. Lee Kuan Yew later came to know that Nair was planted by the Malaysian police Special Branch and did not file him as a candidate again  in the next general elections and thereafter.

Similarly a Malaysian police special branch officer even managed to infiltrate the armed Malayan Communist Party (CPM) in the 1960s’ in an article I had read in the New Straits Times while in Kemta prison. The police special branch officer won the trust of even the hardcore armed CPM by being “reliable and dedicated’ and also by supplying food which was a crucial necessity for the CPM. Within six months this police special branch officer succeeded in shooting dead a key CPM leader and a few others.

In the earlier PULO example even the said police and army intelligence officers both of whom were in PULO each did not know that the other was an
intelligence agent until they met again many years later after their retirement when they now “could speak”.
