Suaram adviser Kua Kia Soong has called for the declassification of the official documents on the May 13, 1969 riots.
In 2007, Kua had written a book titled "May 13: Declassified Documents on the Malaysian Riots of 1969."
He republished the book this year to commemorate the dark history.
The tragic May 13 broke out three days after the 1969 general election where the Chinese-dominated opposition parties DAP and Gerakan had made electoral gains.
Official reports claimed a total of 196 were killed, but British diplomats at the time estimated it to be around 800.
