#1 Fred:
Jeff Ooi is reporting religious cop shenanigans in Malaysia. When the Chinese and Hindus formed the majority, the backward Malays didn't dare make a move against the Chinese. China didn't intervene when Indonesian Islamonazis butchered 500,000 ethnic Chinese (starting with those who held debts over Indos). They might make a move if the Malays get uppity. And nobody would give a damn.

Same kind of thing happened in China after the "Liberation" - only the victims in China had surrendered. China does not have the military power to do anything in Malaysia. More to the point, the Pacific Command will prevent China from trying to realize its ancient goal of "recovering" Nanyang (i.e. Southeast Asia) for the Chinese empire. The Chinese will not get a pass on trying to re-enact a version the German seizure of Czechoslovakia's Sudetenland - in Malaysia. Their efforts to do so by backing ethnic Chinese-led Communist guerrillas in the region failed - their second try will have no more success.

given overhwleming US naval superiority at the time, how were they to intervene? Walk on water?

#4 and BTW, the militarists who killed the 500,000 or so Chinese in 1965, heavily communists, were not Islamists.

#5 I agree with Zhang Fei, China is unlikely to make any move.

Jeff Ooi may be doing some good in exposing the Malaysia local going-ons and often makes entertaining reading but Rantburger should know that he is very anti-Bush like any raving US LLL. Way overdone.

#6 Jeff Ooi, referring to the Secret Service's investigation of a blogger for suggesting that someone should kill GWB: It makes (Nazi's) Gestapo and the (Communist China's) People's Red Army pale by comparison.

I guess Jeff Ooi doesn't know that under Moose Dung and Hitler, entire families were put to death for lesser crimes than that of trying to assassinate leadership figures. (Peng Dehuai, one of Mao's closest buddies, and supreme commander of Chinese forces during the Korean War, was beaten to death in a jail cell on Mao's orders - low-ranking nobodies had much worse happen to them). Jeff Ooi is OK for straight news, but his opinions and analyses are way out in cuckooland.

#7 Liberalhawk:
The massacre of ethnic Chinese in Indonesia between 1965-1967, began after local authorities announced alleged activity by a fictitious terror group (Kap Gestapu). Although the central government sent troops into the killing fields, in what one commander said was a "cleansing operation," most of the killings were carried out by means of machete strikes, inflicted by para-militaries. The killers were mostly Islamic militia members, backed by local fatwah authority. The Indonesian government was more interested in killing reformers.

#8 LOL! The battle of Leyte Gulf was after Pearl Harbour. Jesus. A google-lifer.

Every mention I've read of Kap Gestapu comes from a left-wing website that alleges the complicity of American paymasters. Frankly, this is of a piece with the guys who allege that the recent tsunami was the product of underwater nuclear tests. IToldYouSo needs to stop relying on tainted sources like this.
