The 7th Dawn Facts
The character of Ferris is partially based on John Davis, a former SOE officer who worked with Chin Peng during the war. In 1955, he was sent by the government to bring Chin Peng out of the jungle and escort him to Baling for a peace conference.
The actor who plays the Japanese commander at the surrender ceremony was R. William Koh, a Chinese businessman who was a member of the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army during WWII.
The character of Dhana is based in part on the writer Han Suyin, an Eurasian physician who lived in Malaya during the Emergency. Her husband at the time, Leon F. Comber, was acting Assistant Commissioner of Police - Malayan Special Branch. Her works of fiction include "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing" (later made into a movie starring William Holden) and "And the Rain My Drink" an autobiographical novel of her experiences in Malaya in the early 1950s.
Certain aspects of the character Ferris are based on a rubber planter by the name of Haddon-Cave. His was the only rubber plantation to escape terrorist attack in Malaya. Haddon-Cave was suspected of collusion with the MNLA by General Templer. When Templer investigated, he found the actual reason for the planter's immunity from attacks was, as Haddon-Cave put it, "we have the best damned security perimeter in the country". Templer was forced to agree.
The character of Ng is based on the actual chairman of the Malayan Communist Party, Chin Peng who survived the war and now lives in China.
