“Forestillingen om klasse frem for religion er også farlig for establishmentet her i landet, den ville kunne få hele det politiske system til at bryde sammen, hvis de fattige malajer, muslimerne, ville indse, at de har mere til fælles med de fattige kinesere og de fattige indere, end de har med de velhavende muslimer.”

The view of class rather than religion is also dangerous to the establishment in this country, it would be able to make the entire political system collapse, if the poor Malays, the Muslims, were to realize that they have more in common with the poor Chinese and poor Indians, than they do with the wealthy Muslims.

“Marxistleninisterne eksisterede næsten ikke mere, de fleste gamle kammerater var blevet en del af establishmentet, og den antiimperialistiske bevægelse var stort set gået i sig selv igen.”

The Marxist-Leninists practically didn't exist anymore, most of the old comrades had become a part of the establishment, and the anti-imperialist movement had practically receded into itself once more.
