ANTI-

BRITISH

The success of the Chinese
Communist Revolution in 1949

attract Chinese students who
became drawn to socialist

ideology, becoming more
articulate and behaving

individually. They are upset
and targeting Chinese
campuses. Students in many

Chinese schools in Kuching
founded the Student Self-

Governing Society with the aid
of Communists. Independent

association of student protests
in Chinese middle schools.

Since the British felt
endangered, they forbade this
society because of communist

influence. With the
establishment of the Sarawak

Overseas Chinese Democratic
Youth League, Communist
involvement in student

protests persisted. As a result,
there is proof that there is

another way for communists
to exploit students.
