Malaysian Insight has reported this excerpt from Robert Kuok's memoirs:
"I think it is fair to say that Malaysia regards me as the Malaysian with the best contacts in China. Because of my connections on both sides, I was called upon several times to act as a conduit between the two governments," he wrote in his memoir, a copy of which was obtained by The Malaysian Insight.
Kuok said former Special Branch director Abdul Rahim Noor contacted him for help.
Kuok said his Chinese contact was Zhong Pak, or Uncle Zhong, who he later learnt was a member of China's National Security Ministry.
"The Special Branch contacted me often to say, 'Can you pass this message to China?'," Kuok wrote.
Requests included asking the Chinese government to "silence" the MCP radio, which was making broadcasts hostile to the Malaysian government.
"I passed the word and the radio was silenced."
