Picture of Chin Peng, first for eighth years The Malayan Peace Talks broke down after Chin Peng, leader of 3, 000 jungle guerrillas, told the Chief Ministers of Malaya and Singapore: We will never accept surrender at any time and we will continue to struggle to the last man. The talks, which took place at Baling, Malaya, were between Chin Peng and Tengku Abdul Rehman, the Malayan Chief Minister, and Mr. David Marshall, the Singapore Chief Minister. Rahmar said after the meeting that Chin Peng had rejected the principle of investigations of surrendered Communists. It was said later, that Communists would be given a month grace before the amnesty was withdrawn.
