[5] On September 19, 1971, the North Kalimantan Communist Party (NKCP) was formally established, with Wen Ming Chyuan as the chairman of the Central Committee.
[12][13][14] Among the items agreed in the MoU were: after the NKCP members reintegrate into the society, they would regain their citizenship status if they were citizens of Malaysia before this.
The citizenship or the PR application process would be similar to other ordinary citizens, without reporting or confessing to the political department.
[11]: 282 Bong, in a letter written to Huang Ji Xiao (黄纪晓), the Deputy Secretary of the First Bureau on 21 October 1973, mentioned that such peace talk was not just an expedient measure, it was decided after evaluating the whole situation.
[11]: 284 Such a situation had caused limited food provision and the number of recruits to fight a protracted guerilla war.
[11]: 285 Huang also respected the decision by Wen Ming Chyuan faction to continue armed insurrection against the Sarawak government.
Wen advocated the mobilisation of the rural people to gather strength and wait for the opportunity for a decisive victory.
The Second Bureau led by Bong also made a similar decision of leaving a minority of the comrades in the guerilla warfare.
[15] In 2014, Bong paid a visit to a former head of Special Branch Sarawak during Hari Raya celebration, Dato Sri Alli Kawi, 40 years after they met for a peace talk on 20 October 1973.
[16] After laying down his arms, Bong worked as a rubber tapper, and a hawker, sold insurance, and later started a pig-rearing business.
