PurpleJaguar0553: There was no BN, Umno, MIC or MCA during colonial times. It was the communists who fought against the British, who were the colonialists that divided this country and exploited our resources for their benefit.
Tragically, the communists took the lives of Malaysians, including the police and army, in their misguided and warped thinking that the security forces were supporters of the British, which was not the case. The Malayan People’s Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA) did fight against the cruel Japanese invaders who killed many Malaysians.

In all probability, Razaleigh was referring to one point of the People s Constitutional Proposals that were formulated in 1947 by Putera-AMCJA.
Putera-AMCJA was a coalition of left-wing Malay parties (Pusat Tenaga Rakyat or Putera for short) headed by Burhanuddin that was allied to a cluster of largely non-Malay political groups (All Malaya Council for Joint Action, AMCJA), headed by MCA leader Tan Cheng Lock.
