Following the successful peace talks between the Malaysian government and the Malayan Communist Party in 1989, the remaining NKCP insurgents signed a peace agreement on 17 October 1990, which formally ended the insurgency. In addition, the Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Rahman Ya'kub also managed to convince many of the NKCP insurgents to enter into peace negotiations and lay down their arms between 19. In response to the insurgency, the Malaysian federal government created several "controlled areas" along the Kuching- Serian road in Sarawak's First and Third Divisions in 1965. The North Kalimantan Communist Party was formally established in March 1970 through the merger of several Communist and left-wing groups in Sarawak including the Sarawak Liberation League (SLL), the Sarawak Advanced Youths' Association (SAYA), and the NKPA. Following the end of the Confrontation, Indonesian military forces would co-operate with the Malaysians in counter-insurgency operations against their former allies. During that period, the NKCP's two main military formations were created: the Sarawak People's Guerilla Force (SPGF) or Pasukan Gerilya Rakyat Sarawak (PGRS), and the North Kalimantan People's Army (NKPA) or the Pasukan Rakyat Kalimantan Utara (PARAKU). The Sarawak Communist insurgents were also supported by Indonesia until 1965, when the pro-Western President Suharto assumed power in a coup and ended the confrontation with Malaysia. The insurgency was triggered by the 1962 Brunei Revolt, which had been instigated by the left-wing Brunei People's Party in opposition to the proposed formation of Malaysia. As with the earlier Malayan Emergency (1948–1960), the Sarawak Communist insurgents were predominantly ethnic Chinese, who opposed British rule over Sarawak and later opposed the merger of the state into the newly created Federation of Malaysia. It was one of the two Communist insurgencies to challenge the former British colony of Malaysia during the Cold War. The communist insurgency in Sarawak was an insurgency in Malaysia from 1962 to 1990, and involved the North Kalimantan Communist Party and the Malaysian Government. ≈2,000 Indonesian soldiers killed or wounded (Communists claims & Approximates by Anonymous) Unknown numbers of Indonesian infiltrators Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA)ġ,500+ armed police and soldiers.North Kalimantan People's Army (NKPA).Sarawak People's Guerilla Force (SPGF). ![]() Indonesia (after 1965) (Indo-Malay border) Dissolution of the Sarawak Communist Organisation/North Kalimantan Communist Party (SCO/NKCP).Peace Declaration of Sri Aman in 1973. ![]()
