By that time, they expected a "revolutionary tyranny" to be firmly established on the Malay peninsula and Singapore Island, Mr. Mac- Donald said.

Malayan Intelligence officers secured shortly after the outbreak of terrorism a reliable neenunt of the Communist plan, according to which the Copimunist Iraders had decided in March to stage an armect insurrection, introduced by widespread libour unrest in April and violent demonstrations on May Day.
