Malayan Monitor
Malayan Monitor was an anti-colonial and anti-imperialist newsletter published in Britain which distributed information on the Malayan independence movement during the Malayan Emergency. It was edited by Lim Hong Bee,[1] a sympathiser of the Malayan National Liberation Army who lived in London.[2]
According to historians Huw Bennett and Peter Romijn, the British Colonial Office was successful in countering many of the stories published in Malayan Monitor.[3]
