The Baling Talks were held in northern Malaya on 28 and 29 December 1955 in an attempt to resolve the Malayan Emergency situation.^[1]

The main participants were Chin Peng (representing the Malayan Communist Party), David Marshall (representing the Crown Colony of Singapore), and Tunku Abdul Rahman (representing the Government of the Federation of Malaya). The talks were unsuccessful because the surrender terms were not acceptable to the Malayan Communist Party. After the talks, Chin Peng retired to Thailand and Ah Hai replaced him as acting Secretary-General in Malaya.^{[citation needed]}
