About Rosli Dhobi
- Rosli Dhobi (18 March 1932 – 2 March 1950) was a Malay Sarawakian nationalist from Sibu, Sarawak, Malaysia during the British crown colony era in that state. He was a member leader of the Rukun 13, an active organisation in the Anti-cession movement of Sarawak, along with Morshidi Sidek, Awang Rambli Bin Deli and Bujang Suntong.
- It was a secret cell organisation, composed of nationalists, which carried out assassinations of officers of the British Colonial government in Sarawak.
- He was well known for his assassination of Duncan George Stewart, the second governor of colonial Sarawak, in 1949. It has been reported that the group was in fact agitating for union with newly independent Indonesia.
- Previously classified documents indicate that the British Government knew this, but chose not to reveal the truth of the matter in the assassination so not to provoke Indonesia.
- It had recently won its war of independence from the Netherlands, and the UK was already dealing with the Malayan Emergency to the north-west.
