Wieso? Die Briten haben in Malaysia nicht gebombt oder Entnische Säuberung betrieben.
Er fordert die Besinnung auf die britischen Erfahrungen in Malaysia, wo General Gerald Templer das Konzept "Winning Hearts and Minds" entwickelte und damit mit der Kombination von wirtschaftlichen, sozialen, politischen und militärischen Maßnahmen siegte.
Die Grunderkenntnis Templers war: 1. die Guerilla ist militärisch nicht zu zerschlagen, 2. die Guerilla muss vom Volk getrennt werden, 3. die Entscheidung im asymmetrischen Konflikt erfolgt auf wirtschaftlichem, sozialem und politischem Gebiet
Working closely with Robert Thompson, the Permanent Secretary of Defence for Malaya, Templer's tactics against the communists were held up as a model for counter-insurgency.[3]
Templer famously remarked that, "The answer [to the uprising] lies not in pouring more troops into the jungle, but in the hearts and minds of the people."[4] He demanded that newly built villages, where ethnic Chinese were resettled away from the jungles and beyond the reach (and influence) of the guerrillas, look inviting. To further gain the "hearts and minds" of the non-Malays, who were the main source of communist support, Templer fought to grant Malayan citizenship to over 2.6 million Malayan residents, 1.1 million of whom were Chinese. Templer sought "political and social equality of all" Malayans (contrast with post-independence Ketuanan Melayu).[5]
He instituted incentive schemes for rewarding surrendering rebels and those who encouraged them to surrender.[6]
He also used strict curfews and tight control of food supplies to force compliance from rebellious areas and flush out guerillas. Crops grown by the communists in response to these measures were sprayed with herbicide. These restrictions would be lifted on so-called White Areas which had been found to be free of communist incursion.[7]
In military terms Templer concentrated his efforts on intelligence.[8] When he left Malaya in 1954 the situation was dramatically improved, though the rebels remained a force.[6] Templer denied that the situation had stabilised, declaring "I'll shoot the bastard who says that this Emergency is over".[8] The Malayan government eventually declared the Emergency over in 1960.[6]
