Period of unrest following the creation of the Federation of Malaya (precursor of Malaysia) in 1948.

The Communist Party of Malaya, which was mostly Chinese, was alarmed at the special guarantees of rights for Malays (including the position of sultans) and began a guerrilla insurgency, which was supported by only a minority of the Chinese.
