New village

Internment camps set up by the British during the Malayan Emergency

New villages, also known as Chinese new villages, were internment 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. Most were surrounded by barbed wire and watchtowers to stop people from escaping, with guards being ordered to kill anyone who attempted to leave outside of curfew hours.
