Lai Teck was a leader of the Communist Party of Malaya and Malayan People's Anti-Japanese Army. A Vietnamese of mixed Sino-Vietnamese descent, [cite book|title=Singapore: Wealth, Power And The Culture Of Control|url=http://books.google.com/books?id=SL1LI3hIRXYC|author=Carl A.

His betrayal was exposed in 1947 and he subsequently disappeared with the party's money. Word had it that he had not only been a traitor, but a three-way spy as well during the Second World War. He had allegedly been working for all three sides in the war - notably the Japanese, British and the communists who were hoping that after the Japanese were vanquished they could use the brief time they had before the British return to instigate an uprising and set up a communist government, which had been their main objective all these years.

With Lai Teck gone, they elected a new leader Chin Peng, who believed in firmer and if necessary military action to bring all their efforts to fruition.
