MPAJA in history

I read with much interest the President of Hua Zong's remarks that 'After the Japanese surrendered, the MPAJA accepted the British order for them to lay down their arms and come out of the jungles".

Meanwhile, the President was asking the Minister of Information, Datuk Zainuddin Maidin to retract his remark that 'the MPAJA monument at the Nilai Memorial Park is erected to honour the former Malayan communists'.

Could it be that Hua Zong is trying to emulate the 'Ethnic Relations' issue which was brought up in the Parliament, ended up with the book reviewed by a special committee following Cabinet's order?
