Read this P&C report on May 13 published by National Operation Council (MAGERAN) This is the true independent version based on reports by multi-racial security officers. Unless one would rather believe the racist unsubstianted hearsay of malaysiakini and DAP version , then susah la....lets the fact speaks for itself...I love to learn that despite the Malays prevailed, they acted with much restrained despite they could have ran amuck (for the abuses they were subject to in the precedent event), so much so.. relatively very low number of casulaties recorded. If other indigenous people elsewhere in the world were the subject of the humialition and abuses, definately the casualties would be in tens of thousands (or rather practically it is an ethnic cleasing) and the clashes would last for months.I can tell u, the are more untold stories of Malays protecting non-Malays during 13th May episode.. a lot more than the 'favorite' stories of Malays abusing Chinese.

These people (the Chinese) live comfortably and devote themselves wholly to making money…” . "The fall of Malay Malacca Sultanate to the Portuguese was due to the betrayal of the Chinese merchants, who gave the Portuguese ‘information and placing their junks at his (Portuguese) disposal’ (Purcell 1965:239). It was noted that ‘when the Portuguese fleet announced its arrival with a fanfare of trumpets, the Chinese merchants who were in Malacca made their way to present their respects to the commander’ (Purcell 1965:239).PREFACE May 13, 1969 will go down in our history as a day of national tragedy. On that day the very foundation of this Nation was shaken by racial disturbances whose violence far surpassed any we had known. It was only the firm and prompt action of the Government. together with the
