Despite the new regime’s ban on the PKI and the massacres in Java and Bali, West Kalimantan PKI leaders remained active. During the early 1960s, the PKI had grown rapidly under the able leadership of Said Achmad Sofyan (known locally by the Chinese name Tai Ko, meaning Big Brother).25 At the time of the military seizure of power in 1965, the party had an estimated 3,500 “members/sympathizers.”26 During 1966 and early 1967, the PKI built an extensive underground organization, culminating in April 1967 with the establishment of a “city committee” (komite kota) in Singkawang. Recruiting was then carried out throughout Pontianak and Sambas districts, training exercises were held in Bong Pingsan, Mempawah Hulu, Pasi, and Singkawang, and coordination was strengthened between the urban centers and the nascent resistance in the forests.27 With favorable social and geographic conditions, the West Kalimantan PKI was not patiently going to await arrest or simply disappear. Sometime in late 1965 or perhaps early 1966, Sofyan and a group of followers fled from Pontianak to a forested mountain complex in the Bengkayang area,28 which they called Bukit Bara.29 The location of Bukit Bara placed Sofyan and his followers in the midst of the large rural Chinese population and within easy reach of their remaining PKI cadres on the coast. Given that PGRS/Paraku was primarily oriented towards Sarawak, the majority of its forces were located further north along the Sarawak-West Kalimantan border.30 While they may have enjoyed contact during 1966 and early 1967, PGRS/Paraku and the PKI remained distinct groups.
In April 1967, Sofyan and his PKI colleagues met with members of the PGRS/Paraku in Sanggau Ledo subdistrict to plan a joint military offensive. Most sources claim that Sofyan sought out the much stronger PGRS/Paraku and joined their struggle.31 But there is reason to believe that the opposite is the case. According to Pelita 1975 (a book published by Kodam XH/Tanjungpura), sometime after the military seizure of power in Jakarta, PGRS forces then in Singkawang split over questions of strategy, some arguing for a frontal military attack against Sarawak, others for increased work and recruitment among the local population. As a result of this split, about thirty PGRS members under the leadership of Huang Han and Lim Yen Hwa left Singkawang to join with Sofyan’s PKI in Sanggau Ledo subdistrict.3 (halaman 35-36)

ABSTRACT
This article focuses on the communist movement on both sides of the border in Sarawak and West Kalimantan around 1965 when the September Thirtieth Movement (abortive coup) took place in Jakarta. The people in Sarawak were seeking independence and opposed to being integrated into the Federation of Malaysia in the first half of the 1960s. However, after the September Thirtieth Movement, the communist movement in Sarawak started losing support both domestically and internationally (especially support from Indonesia). Nevertheless, even with the persecution by Suharto’s army, the Sarawak guerrillas and the Indonesian Communist Party in West Kalimantan cooperated in their struggle for a few years after 1965. This situation was aided by the remoteness of these areas from the centers of the nation-states (Malaysia and Indonesia) and also by the cooperation between the guerrillas and the local Chinese in West Kalimantan.
