		Malaya was known for its rich natural resources, and that very aspect was eyed by the Japanese militarists and industrialists.
		In 1939, Malaya was the resource of 40% of the world's rubber and 60% of the world's tin; that fact alone interested Japanese expansionists, but two additional reasons sealed the approval on the invasion planning that started in early 1941.
		In addition to the natural resources, Malaya was also part of Japan's "Outline Plan for the Execution of the Empire's National Policy", a plan to expand the outer perimeters so wide that her enemies would not be able to attack by air against the home islands.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 2006
		Commentators cite the British Army’s superior organizational adaptability and flexibility, strategic patience, their predilection for using the minimum force necessary, the relative ease with which they integrated civil and military aspects of national power, and the apparent facility with which they adapted their strategies to local circumstances of geography and culture.
		As troubling as it might be, the evidence suggests that the main lesson to be drawn from the British practice of counterinsurgency is that physical control of the contested segment of the population is essential.
		As in Malaya, the British overlooked the Mau Mau’s considerable growth in strength and support until several spectacular murders forced the colonial administration to acknowledge its existence.

	Malaya; Communist Terrorists (CTs) in Malaya
		Once the error of this strategy was realised the MRLA adopted the traditional guerrilla approach of isolated ambushes, assassination of key figures, and the carrot-and- stick policy of intimidation and aid to the local population.
		The overall strategy was to terrorise the peasant population, alienate them from their masters and bring about the destruction of Malaya's economic wealth, based largely on its extensive rubber plantations.
		That the MRLA did not succeed was mainly due to the generally intelligent counter-measures adopted by the government forces in preventing the guerrillas from subverting the loyalty of both the urban and rural populations.

	Psychological Warfare of the Malayan Emergency
		The few hundred British subjects who served in the Malayan Civil Service were an elite group, so carefully chosen as to be known locally as "the heaven-born." It was clear that Britain had discarded the eighteenth-century notion that colonies and protectorates were meant to provide jobs for citizens of the mother country.
		The British decided from the onset that the Emergency was essentially 'a war of political ideologies.' The MCP misread British intentions and did not expect immediate emergency regulations and a strong military policy.
		He stated that the aim of the campaign in Malaya was to destroy Communist morale, to induce the terrorist to surrender, and in surrendering, to spread defection amongst his fellows.

		One common misinterpretation is that Malaya was a Tanah Jajahan British (British colony).
		In Malaya They were Communists and the Chinese supported them because of a broken promise by the British - which is not the same situation with the Sunnis.
