• 1948-07-15: Awal Darurat

|Darurat bagi seluruh Malaya (Malayan Emergency) telah diisytiharkan pada 18 Jun 1948 (sebelumnya Perak dan Johor pada 16 Jun, dan selepasnya Singapura pada 24 Jun), berikutan pembunuhan 3 orang pemilik ladang berdekatan Sungai Siput, Perak, yang seterusnya mencetus peperangan gerila di antara Tentera Komanwel dengan Tentera Komunis.

Suasana di sebuah sekatan jalan raya ketika zaman darurat, sekitar 1948-1960: “A member of the Malayan Home Guard mans a check point on the edge of a town. Such check points allowed the authorities to search vehicles and intercept food and supplies being smuggled out to the communist terrorists.” (© IWM (K 14435), Imperial War Museums, 1948-1960: |"THE MALAYAN EMERGENCY 1948-1960").
