“Dr Lim Chong Eu … said he had experienced it all … what Albar and his UMNO Turks had applied was a well-tested method. The police and the army held the ring while favouring the Malay rioters – usually bersilat groups, thugs and gangsters let loose to make mischief. Once passions wee aroused and enough Chinese counter-attacked, even ordinary Malays joined in. When the Chinese hit back, they were clobbered by the police and army; law and order were enforced against them, not the Malays. The result was a sullen. cowed population.”
