Social Impact of the Malayan Emergency on Malaysia and Its Citizens

Social Impact of the Malayan Emergency On The People and The Country of Malaysia:
During Malayan Emergency, British had focus on many aspects and one of those was internal and foreign aspects. Other than that, they also concerned with population control, featuring a discussion of the deportations, resettlement and destruction of villages.
Because of this social impact of Malayan Emergency, people of Malaysia had been divided by races to different places.
During the Malayan Emergency in Malaysia, approximately 12000 white planters and engineers mostly lived on the rich western side of the peninsula. Other than that, few thousands of British officers and administrative officials with the ruling Malay prices and the heavily-Chinese local bourgeoisie had been placed on the area. This area had the benefits of the world’s greatest sources of rubber and tin. These resources were trade flowing through the highly strategic port of Singapore.
The remaining of the population had also been divided into three main groups. These groups were 49% of Malay, 19% of Chinese and 12% of Indian. The Malay group mostly been arranged to the river side and mostly become fisherman now. However, most of the Chinese been arranged in the city which far away from the jungle to prevent they communicate or giving some supplies to communist members for the reason most of the communist members are Chinese. Other than that, mostly Indians were located to the jungle for collecting the resources such as rubber.
After the British arranged by these and other ways, the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) was cut-off from any outside help. This leads to the MCP lack of contacts and the lack of interest in its activities from other country. Other than British arrangement, the geographic features of the country were also a significant role in the strategy. This is because the long peninsula which not more than 400miles long and 200 miles wide with extremely long coastlines which easy to patrol by the Royal Navy team.
The neighbour country such as Thailand was mostly behaved like a British ally who totally not allowed to gives any help to MCP.
Other than that, the MCP people keep reducing also because of the six million inhabitants were interested to the great city of Singapore and on the western side of the peninsula in a narrow strip of a few dozen miles where the rubber plantations and the tin mines were situated.
Because of these area which the MCP could not get any support, therefore their activity area was the mountainous, jungle covered interior, which could provide shelter and rest. However, these were hard to navigate and danger to the MCP members such as falling trees, leeches and lice. Moreover, the peoples who gave the MCP support in these areas were poor for agriculture. Therefore, the food supply was a biggest problem for the large groups of MCP members.
