 1920s – Communism crept into Malaya through a branch of Kuomintang Party (communists in China).  Objective – to overthrow the British government and establish the Communist Republic of Malaya.  MCP had been an underground movement except during the years 1945 to  The MCP formed the Malayan Races Liberation Army (MRLA), better known as the Three Stars (symbolizing the three main races in Malaya).

 MRLA fight for the establishment of the Communist Republic of Malaya.  MCP set up a supply and public spy unit known as Min Yuen.  Functions of Min Yuen; to get food and medical supplies for guerillas in the jungle and to obtain information on British activities.

 Malays did not support the communist ideology because it against Islamic teaching.  Indians and most Chinese also were not interested in joining MCP because they were more interested in economics.  Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) was established to safe-guard the interest of the Chinese People and at that time most Malayan citizens were against the violent tactics of the MCP.

 Police and soldiers have powers to arrest and detain communist suspects without trial.  The military force imposed roadblocks and curfews( perintah berkurung) in areas where communist activities were rife(merebak).  Citizens aged 12 years and above must register and own an identification card (identity card).

 Sir Harold Briggs introduced the Briggs Plan.  Objective – to eradicate communist activities through a strategy to relocate the squatter areas from the edge of the forest to a new village and to launch starvation movement.  1 June 1950, Johore – the relocation plan was started.  February 1952 – more than 400,000 Chinese squatters were relocated to approximately 400 new villages.

 Aimed – restricting the Chinese from supplying food, medicine and information to the communist guerrillas who were hiding in the jungle.  This plan weakened Min Yuen activities and forced the communist out of the jungles.

 Sir Gerald Templer replaced Sir Henry Gurney as the High Commissioner of Malaya/military general.  He used firm military force to fight the communists and the military tactics included the use of:  13 battalions of English soldiers, Gurkhas and Malays.  Training 67,000 special Malay soldiers.  Forming home guards systems with 210,000 of them.  Recruiting assistance from the Commonwealth military such as from Australia, New Zealand and Rhodesia.

 Sir Gerald Templer launched the physical warfare by:  Making conditions easier for non-Malays to obtain citizenship.  Pardoning in large numbers of the MCP members who surrendered.  Rewarding people who provided information on the communist terrorists.  Giving out pamphlets calling the communist terrorists to give up their fight.

 Introduced the system of “white and black areas”.  Introduced curfews in areas where the soldier were hunting for the communists.  The psychological warfare encouraged the people of Malaya to work together with the government to eliminate the communist terrorists.

 On 31 July 1960 – Tunku Abdul Rahman proclaimed the end of the emergency.  Failure of the MCP:  The MCP’s offensive acts against the Malayan Union Government.  The lack of support from Malayan citizens.  The lack of protection from other communist countries, such as Russia and China.

 The number of people killed included 9,581 MCP members, 2,461 ordinary citizens and 1,851 members of the Security Force.  1,383 peoples were injured while 807 were missing.  Properties were destroyed and the economy was crippled.
