The document summarizes communist activities in Singapore and Malaya from 1945 to 1956. It explains that most communist leaders and members were teachers, students, and workers who felt marginalized by the British. Their goal was to overthrow the British government and establish communist rule under China. From 1945 to 1948, communists spread their ideology through newspapers and influenced workers and students. This led to many strikes between 1946 to 1947 as communists encouraged better working conditions. In the 1950s, there were several riots including over national service, bus workers strikes, and student protests against restrictions on communist activities.
