In Hong Kong last week, TIME Correspondent Loren Fessler interviewed a rarity among the refugees: Chan Po-cheung, 30, a self-confident young man who served the Communists for years as a party stalwart and a high-ranking officer in the feared Public Security Bureau.

When he was eleven, his father was murdered by a hired gangster because of a property dispute, and the killer went free owing to his political connections.

...Malacca jungle last week, Acting Police Corporal Roslan Bin Haji Mohammed waited three nights for his quarry. Someone had "whispered," i.e., informed, against noisy, hunchbacked Cheung Kit Ming, better known as "the Ape of Malacca." A top Communist guerrilla, a veteran killer and terrorist, Cheung had a $25,000 price on his head. On the third night of the ambush, the Ape appeared and the police corporal shot him dead...
