Baling Talks

The Baling Talks were held in northern Malaya on 28 and 29 December 1955 in an attempt to resolve the Malayan Emergency.

The main participants were Tunku Abdul Rahman (representing the Government of the Federation of Malaya), David Marshall (representing the Crown Colony of Singapore), and Chin Peng (representing the Malayan Communist Party). The talks were unsuccessful because the surrender terms were not acceptable to the Malayan Communist Party. After the talks, Chin Peng retired to Thailand and Ah Hai replaced him as acting Secretary-General in Malaya.
