Bong Kee Chok (黄紀作; born 1937)[1] was the main leader and member of North Kalimantan Communist Party (NKCP).[2][3]

Formation of North Kalimantan Communist Party (NKCP)[]

As Bong was opposed to the formation of Malaysia, he was arrested on 22 June 1962.[1] After his release, Bong formed the NKCP on 19 September 1965 in Pontianak, West Kalimantan, Indonesia.[1]

Insurgencies[]

On 27 May 1972, Bong led a small group of cadre and a team of self-defense force from Second Division of Sarawak Sri Aman Division to a communist base at Samarahan Division to attend a central committee meeting.[4]

Decline[]

After a series of insurgencies, and the Indonesians' decision to stop aiding the Communists, Bong decided to surrender and signed an agreement to lay down arms to Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Rahman Ya'kub on 20 October 1973 which signified the end of further major battles in the Sarawak Communist Insurgency.[5][6][7][8]

Aftermath[]

After the Sri Aman treaty was signed, the local population, especially the people of the town of Simanggang (known as Sri Aman from 1974 to 2019) generally held skeptical attitude towards Bong, accusing him of collaborating with the government for material wealth. Bong also retreated from the public view since then.[9]
