RANCANGAN BRIGGS DAN KAMPUNG BARU DI PAHANG: STRUKTUR DAN CIRI
This paper discusses the existence of Kampung Baru (KB) in the state of Pahang. The event occurred in 1950 after the British declared a state of emergency in Malaya (1948-1960) due to the insurgency activities carried out by the Communist Party of Malaya (PKM). As a result, the British and the state of Pahang have suffered various effects such as losses from an economic point of view and also concerns about the influence of communist ideology in the community. To deal with the situation, the British through General Sir Harold Briggs introduced the idea of relocating the population to new settlement areas through the Briggs Plan. This action is an effort to break the relationship and communication between communist members and the residents of certain areas. The British believed that this situation could indirectly weaken the supply chain of information, medicine and food to communist members. In relation to that, the opening and existence of this KB has offered a dynamic that can be studied from various perspectives. For this paper, the discussion is limited to explaining the existence of KB in the state of Pahang. Kertas kerja ini membincangkan tentang kewujudan Kampung Baru (KB) di negeri Pahang. Peristiwa ini berlaku pada tahun 1950 selepas British mengisytiharkan darurat di Tanah Melayu (1948-1960) akibat daripada gerakan insurgensi yang dilancarkan oleh Parti Komunis Malaya (PKM). Akibatnya, British dan negeri Pahang telah menanggung pelbagai kesan seperti kerugian dari sudut ekonomi dan juga kebimbangan akan pengaruh ideologi komunis dalam kalangan masyarakat. Bagi menangani keadaan tersebut, British melalui Jeneral Sir Harold Briggs yang memperkenalkan ide pemindahan dan pengasingan populasi ke kawasan-kawasan penempatan yang baharu melalui Rancangan Briggs (Briggs Plan). Tindakan ini merupakan satu usaha untuk memutuskan hubungan dan komunikasi antara anggota komunis dengan para penduduk kawasan-kawasan tertentu. British percaya keadaan ini secara tidak langsung dapat melemahkan rantaian bekalan maklumat, perubatan dan makanan kepada anggota komunis. Sehubungan dengan itu, pembukaan dan kewujudan KB ini telah menawarkan satu dinamika yang boleh dikaji daripada pelbagai perspektif. Bagi kertas kerja ini, perbincangan yang dilakukan hanya terbatas kepada penghuraian tentang kewujudan KB di negeri Pahang.
