New Village
{
New villages (Chinese: 新村; pinyin: Xīncūn; Malay: Kampung baru), also known as Chinese new villages (Chinese: 华人新村; pinyin: Huárén Xīncūn, Malay: Kampung baru Cina), 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.
Since the British left Malaya, many former new villages have grown into ordinary residential towns and villages.
