2pp., foolscap 8vo. Good, on creased and lightly-aged paper. Divided into eight numbered sections, under the following headings: 'The General Problems Relating to the Revolution', 'The Present Duty of the Organisation', 'The Other Requirements for the Armed Struggle'. The document begins: 'Based on the assumption that more than 80% of the population of SARAWAK are farmers and that this farming class is made up of all races, the revolution of the farmers is the revolution of the farmers of all races. It is therefore imperative that the farmers be regarded as the most reliable ally and the vanguard of the proletariat; this also indicates racial work as being the key to the success or failure of the revolution. So that it is also necessary to attach extreme importance to the carrying out of racial work in order to put the united front into operation.' From the private papers of C. A. A. Nicol, who joined the Malayan Union Police Force in 1950, and served in the Royal Malaysian Police between 1957 and 1967, 'to assist in promoting and consolidating the successful transition to full independence. During this period the Special Branch played a vital role in maintaining peace and security in the country.'
