DAP urges a full scale review of Government policies as a consequent of post Indo China development.

With the Communist vioteries in IndoChina the rest of the South Fast Asian countries are still readjusting to the historic change and calculatirif the impact these developments have on their internal and external policies.

There is a danger that one consequence of post Vietnam development in the rest of SEA is a greater diversion of Government funds for defense and military purposes. This will not only hold back development effertsand allow the wide gap between the haves and the haves-not to grow, but will be a shortsighted and self-defeating reaction.
