New Village
New villages, also known as Chinese new villages, were concentration camps created during the waning days of British rule in Malaysia. They were originally created as part of the Briggs Plan, first implemented in 1950, to isolate guerillas from their supporters within the rural civilian populations during the Malayan Emergency.| Tap on a place to explore it |
