Malaysia 2020 Emergency

 The Malayan Emergency (Malay: Darurat Malaya) was a guerrilla war fought in the Federation of Malaya from 1948 until 1960. The conflict was between Commonwealth armed forces and pro-independence fighters of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA), the military wing of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP). The war was fought over attempts by communist forces to gain independence for Malaya from the British Empire and to establish a socialist economy. The fighting spanned both the colonial period and the creation of an independent Malaya (1957). Although it was referred to as "The Emergency" by colonial authorities, the MNLA referred to it as the "Anti-British National Liberation War".[1] The conflict was called an "Emergency" by the British for insurance purposes, as London-based insurers would not have paid out in instances of civil wars.[2]

In June 1948 the colonial government declared a state of emergency in British Malaya after the killing of three Europeans during attacks on plantations.[3] Under the leadership of Chin Peng, communist activists regrouped in the Malayan jungles and formed the MNLA to wage a guerrilla war against British colonial rule. Many of the MNLA fighters who fought against British colonialism were former members of the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA) who had been trained and funded by the British years prior to fight against the Imperial Japanese Army during the Second World War. The majority of the support for the communist rebels came from the ethnic Malayan-Chinese population, most of which lived in dire poverty, were subject to racial persecution and were barred from voting in elections. The communists belief in gender equality allowed many women to join the MNLA and their civilian support network, the Min Yuen. However, with the exception of the Orang Asli aboriginals, the MNLA failed to gain any major following from any ethnic groups other than the Malayan-Chinese due to the association of communism with China and long-standing racial tensions within Malaya.[citation needed]

After the MNLA had established a series of jungle bases, they began conducting raids on British colonial police and military installations. Tin mines and rubber plantations also became frequent targets of communist sabotage in attempts to make the colonial occupation of Malaya too expensive for the British to maintain. British military experiences during the Emergency would lay the groundwork for future anti-insurgency operations, most famously in the Vietnam War as American forces (largely unsuccessfully) attempted to replicate British strategies used in Malaya. The operational tactics of the Commonwealth troops pioneered the concept of Search and destroy, saw widespread use of Agent Orange[4] and popularised the term "Hearts and Minds". High emphasis was placed on rapid response units that could respond quickly to guerrilla attacks and the formation of local auxiliary forces.[citation needed]

Under the Briggs Plan the British created a system of 400 internment camps called "New villages" to imprison over 400,000 civilians, mostly Chinese but also Indian and Orang Asli, in an attempt to segregate the MNLA guerrillas from the civilian population.[5] The British then attempted to starve the communist guerrillas by implementing a food denial campaign by enforcing food rationing on civilians, killing livestock and using chemical herbicides to destroy rural farmland.[5] As the conflict began, earlier attempts to defeat the communists unintentionally included the execution of unarmed villagers, the most infamous case being the Batang Kali massacre which is often referred to as "Britain's My Lai".

Despite the war ending in 1960, communist leader Chin Peng renewed the insurgency against the Malaysian government in 1967. This second phase of the insurgency lasted until 1989.

2020 Emergency in Malaysia is to save a sitting Prime Minister from NO CONFIDENCE VOTE IN PARLIAMENT.

Today we have a leader who had lost the trust of the Rakyat.

Even though he has the protection from the Agong and Speaker, he is still afraid of the shame to his dignity and honour if oust.


TODAY THERE IS NO TERRORISTS OR ENEMIES WANTING TO TAKE OVER MALAYSIA.

TODAY THERE IS NOTHING IN MALAYSIA FOR ANY FOREIGN INVASION.

TODAY MALAYSIA IS FACING THE RISE OF COVID 19 BUT THE DANGER OF THE VIRUS DOES NOT CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY.

A CAPABLE LEADER DOES NOT FIND EXCUSES FOR HIS FAILURE.

A CAPABLE LEADER DOES NOT NEED ROYAL PROTECTION FOR HIS FAILURE.

A CAPABLE LEADER DOES NOT NEED THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE TO PREVENT A MOTION OF NO CONFIDENCE.

A CAPABLE LEADER SHOULD FIND CONCRETE SOLUTION TO SOLVE A SIMPLE PROBLEM CREATED BY ITS OWN MEMBERS IN THE CABINET.

A CAPABLE LEADER SHOULD NOT KILL THE ECONOMY OF THE COUNTRY.

A CAPABLE LEADER SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO EASE THE PAIN, FRUSTRATION AND SORROW OF THE RAKYAT.

INSTEAD OF SOLVING THE PROBLEM, THE PRIME MINISTER THREATENS THE LIVES OF 33 MILLION BY HAVING AN EMERGENCY WHEREBY HE HAS ABSOLUTE POWER TO USE ALL OUR SAVINGS TO ENRICH HIS CRONIES.

MALAYSIANS MUST STAND UNITED AS ONE TO FIGHT THE INJUSTICE RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
