00:00 There's a lot of delicious food.
00:01 Later, I don't need to take a motorcycle.
00:03 I can take a motorcycle for 30 people.
00:04 In the past, the new village didn't have such a tradition.
00:07 Now, it's open.
00:10 It's very warm.
00:11 People are more friendly.
00:12 When you go out, you greet them.
00:14 In front, opposite, left, right.
00:15 Son, wife.
00:17 They will all invite you to eat.
00:18 This Longyan New Village
00:19 has existed for more than half a century.
00:21 It's a very Malaysian-style village.
00:23 It has become a focus topic.
00:24 According to the minister,
00:25 the new village has become the origin of the Malay NGO
00:27 and the political party's saliva war.
00:29 Let's not talk about the new village
00:30 being the world heritage.
00:32 Speaking of the new village,
00:32 what comes to your mind?
00:34 What is your background
00:35 and history of the traditional Chinese New Village?
00:37 In this video,
00:38 we will get to know
00:39 the famous historical property unique to Malaysia.
00:41 It's even known as
00:42 the Chinese Concentration Camp.
00:44 New Village.
00:45 It's more friendly.
00:48 It's happier.
00:49 It's more simple.
00:52 New Village people.
00:53 The buildings and houses.
00:55 It's a village.
00:56 It's a small place.
00:58 Life is simple.
00:59 Most of the people are left-behind.
01:02 Like,
01:02 they left their parents and grandchildren there.
01:05 Their sons went out to work.
01:08 It's a good place.
01:09 You don't have to bring your motorbike.
01:11 You can take a motorbike.
01:13 It's a simple life.
01:14 During the New Year,
01:16 it's very busy.
01:17 There are a lot of cars.
01:18 It's a bit messy.
01:19 There are a lot of construction sites.
01:20 The roads are narrow.
01:22 New Village is not as easy to manage as Hualien.
01:25 There are more problems with the people.
01:27 Speaking of the new village,
01:28 most people think of it as a small place
01:30 with a warm atmosphere.
01:31 Of course, some people think
01:32 that New Village lacks urban planning
01:34 and is relatively messy.
01:35 Chinese are familiar with it.
01:37 But for their fellow Chinese,
01:38 New Village seems to be a very vague and unfamiliar concept.
01:42 After all, the New Village we are talking about
01:44 is not the last Malay port in the city center of Kuala Lumpur
01:46 that they know.
01:48 Kampong Baru.
01:48 It's not the Kampong Baru's
01:50 "Qing Kwai Tie" station.
01:51 I know the station.
01:53 Sorry?
01:54 Station.
01:54 Is the train station bigger?
01:56 No.
01:57 No idea.
01:59 As we mentioned at the beginning of the video,
02:00 the most simple and crude
02:02 assumption about the Chinese New Village in Malaysia
02:04 is to describe it as
02:05 the Chinese concentration camp during the British colonial period.
02:08 The background of its establishment
02:09 ends with the Second World War.
02:11 After the Japanese army defeated,
02:13 the Ma Kong and British colonial government
02:14 could not get away from the relationship.
02:16 In 1948, the British colonial government
02:17 announced its resignation
02:20 in order to cut off the anti-British force of the Ma Kong.
02:22 It also declared the Ma Kong as an illegal political party.
02:24 Then, it implemented the British Plan,
02:26 the Bricks Plan.
02:27 The Chinese who lived in the forest
02:29 and rural areas
02:31 were forced to move to the concentration camp
02:32 which was strictly monitored
02:34 to cut off their contact with the Ma Kong.
02:36 These concentration camps are newly developed villages,
02:39 which is the new village we are talking about now,
02:41 Kampong Baru.
02:42 The British Plan was carried out by the military
02:44 for a maximum of four years
02:46 from 1950 to 1954.
02:48 It was the most unprecedented move in the history of our country.
02:51 At that time, a total of 489 new villages were built,
02:53 which moved about 570,000 people.
02:55 Among them, the Chinese accounted for about 86%.
02:57 It is said that the population of the Chinese new village
02:59 accounts for one-third of the total number of Chinese in Malaya.
03:02 In Malaysia, I don't know how to count.
03:07 Too many.
03:08 But thousands.
03:09 There are hundreds of them in Wuhan.
03:11 There should be at least two or three hundred.
03:12 I'm not very clear.
03:14 The traditional new villages we are familiar with
03:15 are 436 in total.
03:17 The largest number in Pili Province
03:19 is 125.
03:20 Then there are 83 traditional new villages in Rofo.
03:23 Then in 2009,
03:24 the Ministry of Land Reform introduced the new villages
03:28 of the non-traditional Chinese new village,
03:29 Kampong Baru Rangayen and Kampong Bagan,
03:31 which are also included in the budget and calculation.
03:33 So far, we have often heard that
03:34 there are 613 new villages.
03:37 In fact, the number is that these two villages are included.
03:40 There is one more thing to say.
03:41 These Chinese new villages are basically located in West Malaysia.
03:43 But there are also three in East Malaysia.
03:45 Because of the British colonial government in Sarawak,
03:46 in order to deal with the Communist Party of Sarawak,
03:48 three new villages were set up.
03:50 They are Xinsheng Village, Laituo Village and Dafu Village.
03:53 Currently, the most populous and land-based new village
03:56 is in Zengjiang New Village, Kuala Lumpur.
03:59 And the smallest new village in Lawu Wusha,
04:01 which is near Hualien County,
04:02 has about 44 people.
04:04 Forcing Chinese to move to new villages
04:06 is a decisive move by the British colonial government
04:07 to fight against the Communist Party.
04:10 But it also made the new villagers at the time
04:12 become victims.
04:13 Life is hard.
04:19 At that time, there were only rice fields and fruit trees around here.
04:24 At that time, this road was also small.
04:27 It was a long way.
04:28 I moved to this village.
04:30 I lived there.
04:31 There was no house, no house, no house.
04:35 There was a...
04:37 What is it called?
04:39 Look at others...
04:40 There was a ice rink over there.
04:42 Ice rink.
04:44 If you want to go in,
04:46 you have to take out all your belongings.
04:48 If there are bananas and biscuits,
04:50 you have to eat them before you go in.
04:52 How can you get out?
04:54 I asked you.
04:55 I went out to buy things.
04:57 We have a card.
05:02 We live inside.
05:03 According to records,
05:04 after the villagers were moved to these new villages,
05:06 there will be high walls and fences around the residence,
05:09 and iron nets surrounding the village.
05:11 The way out must be thoroughly searched.
05:14 There are no "Mah-Kung" particles,
05:16 muddy water, and fish.
05:16 There are restrictions on the time and scope of going out.
05:19 The new village is like a big prison.
05:22 The word "prison"
05:23 has been used in foreign media before.
05:26 It describes the situation of the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip.
05:28 I didn't expect our elders
05:30 to experience a similar situation.
05:32 When we moved to the new village,
05:34 we just saw some
05:36 "Pirates"
05:38 running around.
05:39 We were happy.
05:40 The children didn't understand anything.
05:42 I had a small rice cooker at home.
05:47 When I went to work,
05:49 I would have a big pot of rice
05:51 at work.
05:53 My father used to make rice.
05:55 I also went to my mother's place
05:58 to get a big pot of rice.
05:59 The young people may not know that
06:01 some new villagers in an emergency
06:03 used a big pot of rice to fill their stomachs,
06:06 and even used grain to exchange for rice.
06:08 As "Mah-Kung" and British police,
06:11 they were in danger
06:12 when they worked outside.
06:15 On the one hand, they may be suspected by the military police
06:17 that they were being treated harshly
06:18 because they were close to "Mah-Kung".
06:20 Life is full of worries.
06:21 We, who grew up in a peaceful era,
06:23 can never imagine.
06:25 But the past of the Malaysian and Chinese
06:27 are carried by the new village with a meaningful history.
06:29 In the past,
06:34 a house was for several people.
06:36 Now, it's for a few old people
06:38 or a grandson.
06:40 Now, it's open,
06:42 and there's everything.
06:45 You can buy anything you want.
06:47 You can go anywhere.
06:49 In the past, the new village was really a mud house.
06:51 Now, it's all mud houses.
06:53 There's a big change.
06:55 Now, there's a lot of improvement.
06:56 The environment has also improved.
06:58 It used to be dirtier.
07:00 Now, the sanitation problem has improved a lot.
07:03 For us,
07:05 we feel very bad
07:06 when we come to the new village.
07:08 We're old now.
07:10 We have to rely on our old friends
07:12 to sit here and chat.
07:14 We can sit here and chat.
07:16 We, the new villagers, live well here.
07:18 If we go to other places,
07:20 we'll be in a bad situation.
07:23 We're more friendly.
07:24 When we go out, we greet each other.
07:25 We greet each other.
07:27 We call each other "son", "wife".
07:28 We call each other to eat.
07:30 We don't greet each other.
07:31 We don't talk to each other.
07:32 I think the new village
07:37 has also been weakened.
07:38 The biggest problem with the new village is
07:39 that the second and third generations
07:41 are not willing to stay there.
07:42 They prefer to go to the city.
07:43 Yatong, Satun,
07:44 they are more concentrated
07:46 and have more population.
07:47 The other new villages
07:48 have a lot of foreigners.
07:50 Since the 1980s,
07:54 the number of Chinese new village residents has been decreasing.
07:57 New villages have become old villages.
07:59 Almost all new villages
08:00 face the same problem.
08:01 Therefore, all parties are active in revitalizing new villages.
08:04 For example, the government of Xuezhou
08:05 actively promotes and retains
08:07 and develops the value and characteristics
08:08 of Chinese new villages in Xuezhou.
08:10 The International Antiquities and Heritage Society
08:11 ICOMOS Malaysia Summit
08:13 also promoted the establishment of a
08:15 Malaysia New Village Working Group in 2021.
08:18 It visits communities around the world to conduct field investigations
08:20 in the hope of bringing Chinese new villages
08:21 into the cultural heritage and even
08:23 the world heritage of our country.
08:25 At the end of 2022,
08:27 this summit has also helped
08:28 seven new villages in China
08:29 to be promoted to the UN
08:31 Educational and Cultural Organization World Heritage.
08:33 You all know the story.
08:35 The New Village Promotion Initiative
08:36 proposed by Minister of the Environment, Ni Ke-min, in early February
08:39 was plagiarized by some people into a racial issue.
08:42 New villages have become a political trick
08:43 that has made the anti-local people feel uncomfortable.
08:45 It's definitely not the first time.
08:47 If you still remember,
08:48 nearly 11 years ago,
08:49 a local Chinese movie called "New Village"
08:52 was to tell the story of
08:52 how the Chinese were forced to
08:54 move to the history of the new village,
08:56 but it was plagiarized into a movie that sang the Communist Party's song,
08:59 which made the movie unable to be released.
09:01 In fact, the famous Malaysian scholar,
09:02 Prof. Dazudin, thought that
09:03 the Chinese New Village commemorated the real
09:05 dark history of sacrifice, struggle and endurance
09:07 during the emergency.
09:09 The strong characteristics of the new village
09:11 were saved by the Chinese on the Malay Peninsula,
09:13 which made our country free from being a puppet of the Communist Party.
09:16 He believed that the Chinese New Village was the heritage of Malaysians,
09:18 which crossed all racial, religious and cultural boundaries.
09:21 The former head of the Southeast Asian Research Institute in Singapore,
09:23 the famous scholar, Kenai Yosin,
09:25 mentioned in his work on the Chinese New Village in Malaysia
09:28 that the management of the new village,
09:30 which is similar to a centralized system,
09:33 such as the militaryization measures implemented in South Africa at the end of the 19th century,
09:36 Vietnam has experienced American control.
09:39 But he said that the situation in Malaysia
09:41 can be said to be the only successful historical site in the world,
09:44 and unlike the dead buildings like archaeological sites,
09:47 the new village in our country is currently a living cultural heritage.
09:52 I hope that this video
09:53 has given you more knowledge and understanding of the new village.
