	Chin Peng - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		This initial resistance by the Malayan Communist Party eventually erupted into full hostility, and developed into a form of a civil war, which which became the Malayan Emergency that lasted for twelve years until 1960.

		The Malayan Emergency was a twelve-year conflict in the Malayan peninsula which arose from an attempt by the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) to overthrow the British colonial administration of Malaya.

		The greatly improved security situation was reflected in the official termination of the Emergency on 31 July 1960.
