Topic: Malayan Emergency



  
 Malayan Emergency - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Despite the term "emergency" it was a full-scale guerilla war between the MRLA and the British, Commonwealth, and Malayan governments.
The Malayan Emergency was an insurrection and guerilla war of the Malay Races Liberation Army against the British and Malayan administration from 1948 - 1960 in what is now Malaysia.
On July 31, 1960, the Malayan government declared the Emergency was over; Chin Peng fled to China.

But it is very misleading to compare the situation during the Malayan Emergency with the current War in Iraq without actually giving any context of the situation in Malaya during the years of insrugency and the colonial years before that.
The MCP or Malayan Communist Party also managed to "draw on the support of many disaffected Malayan Chinese, who were upset that British promises of an easier path to full Malayan citizenship had not been fulfilled.
The setting up of the Malayan Union met huge oppositions from the Malays because the Union would mean the erosion of the power and status of the Sultans as well as the lost of what was perceived as Malay rights and privileges.

 Malayan Emergency and New Zealand
The Malayan Emergency was a twelve-year conflict in the Malayan peninsula which arose from an attempt by the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) to overthrow the British colonial administration of Malaya.
Declared on 18 June 1948, the Emergency was the immediate response to the murder of three British planters in northern Malaya but had its roots deep in the post-war economic and political dislocation of Malaya and a sense of alienation among the Chinese community in particular.
Its origins lay in the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army, which had been formed during the Second World War.

 Messy Christian: Malayan Emergency = Iraqi War?
But, as with all analogies, the comparison with the Malayan Emergency is flawed - simply because a large number of terrorists in Iraq aren't even Iraqi, while and overwhelming amount of Communists in Malaya were Malayans.
But as with the Malayan emergency, the "insurgency" in Iraq is largely fueled by a single group - Sunnis in Iraq, Chinese in Malaya.
Though the Malayan Emergency was declared on June 16, 1948, fighting began immediately after the Japanese surrendered, with the MCP staging a three-day reign of terror prior to the British arriving in 1945.

As I tried to conjure up what a political ambush might be and, cracking my brain, my memory raced back to June 16, 50 years ago when ambush was a common word, when the declaration of the Malayan Emergency by the British colonial government in Kuala Lumpur was made.
Wide powers were given that day to the colonial police and to other authorities by Emergency regulations covering four of the mostlawless areas in Malaya following the killing that day of three European rubber planters in Perak.
