On "To Singapore, With Love" and the fight against communism

A fair elucidation of the government's perspective, but it doesn't answer the question presented in the title...

"In public relations, spin is a form of propaganda, achieved through providing a biased interpretation of an event or campaigning to persuade public opinion in favor or against some organization or public figure. While traditional public relations may also rely on creative presentation of the facts, "spin" often implies disingenuous, deceptive and/or highly manipulative tactics.
Politicians are often accused by their opponents of claiming to be honest and seek the truth while using spin tactics to manipulate public opinion. Large corporations with sophisticated public relations branches also engage in "spinning" information or events in their favor. Because of the frequent association between spin and press conferences (especially government press conferences), the room in which these take place is sometimes described as a spin room. A group of public relations advisors, pollsters and media consultants who develop spin may be referred to as "spin doctors" who engage in "spin doctoring" for the person or group that hired them." - Wikipedia, Spin

I am puzzled. Can someone point me to corroboration that thousands were killed in the communist insurgency? Maybe in Malaya and elsewhere, but in Singapore?
