Kamarulzaman Teh (15 January 1920 – 5 November 2002), who was imprisoned in the Federation of Malaya for 22 years, is the longest political detainee in Malaysia's history.
Ultimately, he was elected as the head of the youth wing in Angkatan Pemuda Insaf (API) of Pahang.
[2] During the Malayan Emergency in 1948, the British took Kamarulzaman into custody in a bus station in Temerloh, without further investigation.
Because his family had difficulties paying his medical bills, he was taken care of by his adopted sister and her husband.
His friends included General Secretary of the Communist Party of Malaya, Abdullah CD and Chin Peng.
