Tang Ah Chai: Living through white terror

圖文原版：http://www.thenutgraph.com/tang-ah-chai-living-through-white-terror/

TANG Ah Chai is a public intellectual and political commentator in the
Chinese Malaysian community. Over the past few decades, the former deputy
director of the Centre for Malaysian Chinese Studies has been actively
involved in research relating to Chinese Malaysian history. He has written
and edited Mandarin books on Yap Ah Loy, the founder of Kuala Lumpur, and on
Chinese Malaysian cultural heritage and historical figures. Besides that,
Tang is part of the committee that helps to write and edit historical
textbooks for Chinese independent schools.

He speaks to The Nut Graph about growing up on an estate and his experience
of Operasi Lalang, in an exclusive interview on 6 Aug 2010 in his Kuala Lumpur
office. The interview was conducted in Mandarin and translated to English.


What made you decide to return to Malaysia after your graduation?
Didn't you think of staying back in Taiwan?

No, I was actually quite eager to come back because to me, Taiwan was just a
place to study. Malaysia is home. And somehow, I felt confident that there
would be space for me to grow and develop my potential back home. I shipped
42 boxes of books back from Taiwan when I returned.
