malaya union & mckk logo

glades — Sat, 18 Aug 2018 21:34:04 +0800

i suppose malayan union is not something to be proud off.. it was heavily opposed by malayan and state rulers were some how forced to give their commitment in lieu of their status..

if the formation of malayan union was considered shameful (lack of better word), why mckk, one of malaysia prestigious school attended by state rulers shares the same coat of as malayan union?

James Bond

Tahukah anda?

Ada cakap2 Yang mengatakan bahawa James Bond 007 itu diadaptasikan dari seorang perisik British Yang bernama Dennis Emerson - Elliot?

Dan Dennis Emerson itu pernah menetap & berkhidmat Di Malaysia, atau lebih spefisik, Cameron Highlands.

#ThreadNadia
Dennis Emerson merupakan nama yang cukup terkenal dalam lipatan sejarah Malaysia.

Kerana apa?

Anda ingat Parti Komunis Malaysia?

Ye.

Dennis merupakan antara "chess setter" untuk membanteras kemunculan/kemaraan PKM di Malaysia.
Dennis merupakan perisik British.

Pada mulanya, beliau menetap di Singapura, tetapi pada 1948, Dennis & keluarga telah berpindah ke Cameron Highlands. (Ini adalah menurut anak beliau, Derreck Emerson)
Alasan perpindahan ini adalah kerana mereka tidak tahan dengan suhu panas tropika Di Singapura.

Lalu, dicadangkan berpindah ke Cameron Highlands untuk merasai suhu yang sejuk, seakan2 di tempat asal mereka, Britain.

Itu alasan cliche.

Tapi, sebenarnya
Dennis ingin berpindah ke Cameron Highlands kerana tujuan utama beliau adalah :

1. Untuk mengesan pergerakkan Komunis di Cameron Highlands.

Agak pelik kenapa Beliau mahu berpindah ke CH kerana beliau pads asasnya, tahu bahawa CH adalah kubu kuat Komunis.
Jadi, apa Yang Dennis lakukan?

Beliau terkenal dengan seorang Yang sangat low profile (berbeza dengan apa yg digambarkan oleh Bond dlm James Bond).

Like a real spy, dia berkerjasama dengan semua pihak.

Siapa itu semua pihak?
Dennis baik dengan Jepun.

Beliau banyak melakukan urus niaga dengan pihak Jepun pasca perang dunia ke 2.

Beliau juga baik dengan kerajaan Selangor.

Dennis pernah bermain ragbi & cricket mewakili Kelab Cricket Selangor.
Dennis juga baik dengan anggota Komunis.

Dennis adalah perancang utama yang memberikan idea kepada Parti Komunis Malaya untuk hanya berperang Di hutan.

Kerana apa?

Kerana perang Di hutan melibatkan kos yang tinggi.

Maka, itu adalah cara termudah habiskan bekalan British.
Pelikkan?

Dennis adalah warganegara British.

Tapi beliau bagi idea kepada PKM untuk perang dengan British & sekutu hanya di hutan.

Tapi sebenarnya,
Tujuan utama Dennis adalah

1. Pemusatan.

Jika PKM hanya berada Di hutan, maka mudah untuk kepong mereka.
2. Untuk sekat bekalan makanan & Senjata.

Adalah mudah untuk British sekat makanan & senjata kepada PKM kerana mereka akan kepung perkampungan (terutamanya Melayu)
3. Untuk elak perang di Bandar.

Ini yang paling bijak. Walaupun Perang, sekurang2nya pelabuhan & bandar tidak terjejas. Dan segala aktiviti ekonomi British tidak terkesan.

That's how a spy do his thing.

Brilliantly smart.
Jadi, apa Yang mengaitkan Dennis dengan James Bond?

Anda kenal Ian Flemming?

Beliau adalah pelopor idea filem/saduran James Bond.

Dennis Dan Ian adalah kawan.

Bahkan, pernah bergambar bersama.

Kiri - Ian.
Kanan - Dennis
Apa Yang lebih menarik perhatian adalah the codename.

Tahukah anda?

Codename untuk Dennis adalah BB007.

Nota kaki : BB stand for British Bureau
Anak Dennis, Derek Emerson pernah menjumpai beberapa surat ayah beliau kepada kedutaan British.

Dan disetiap Surat tersebut,
Mempunyai satu kod Yang sama iaitu BB007.
Mesti ramai Yang pernah dengar Sunlight Cottage Di Cameron Highlands Kan?

Dahulu, namanya adalah Starlight Cottage.

Situlah Dennis dan keluarga nya menetap.

Beliau bijak, berjaya meyakinkan PKM untuk tetap Di Hutan.

Itulah sebab keluarga beliau tidak 'disentuh' oleh PKM
Dennis juga dikatakan orang yang pernah berkerjasama dengan Chin Peng.

Dan dalam pada masa Yang sama, sebenarnya orang yang memerangkap Chin Peng.

Walaupun secara teknikal nya, percaturan beliau gagal untuk tangkap chin peng,

Tapi beliau telah memudahkan kerja British
Ini adalah Salah satu sejarah Yang tidak pernah didedahkan.

Kerana, terdapat beberapa penulisan Yang membuktikan bahawa PKM Dan British sebenarnya bukanlah 'bergaduh' tetapi disengajakan 'kewujudan' untuk 'diperlambatkan' proses Merdeka
Walaupun Ada kata2 mengatakan bahawa British sekat PKM kerana mereka dikhuatiri boleh menang Pilihan Raya Umum Di Tanah Melayu.

Ini adalah sesuatu yang 'lawak' tetapi itulah yang ditulis dalam sejarah kita.
Perihal Dennis Pula,

Dipercayai merupakan susuk yang dijadikan idea untuk filem/saduran James Bond.

Sekian.
I'll attach all the rujukan nanti ya.

Now nak Naik flight balik Malaysia (At last! Setelah 3 jam delayed 😑😑😑)

Selamat Malam

TL;DR
James Bond was actually spy in Malaya based in Cameron Highlands. His mission was to stop the spread of komunis..
