Abstract

This article delves into the Home Guard (HG) which is a defense force that involves the involvement of the general public as its backbone. HG was introduced in Malaya in the emergency era (1948-60), operating actively in 1950. The content of this writing is about HG in Kedah, as Kedah is one of the great states threatened by the Malayan Communist Party (CPM) in emergency episodes. This article highlights some of the aspects made by the government at that time to strengthen the work of HG. The force was streamlined with a more robust administrative arrangement to make HG a second defensive bulwark against the Communists at the time. This includes the involvement of expatriates from outside Malaya and the strengthening of domestic officers. This article also features about the welfare of team members done during HG activities. Not to be outdone also this article touches on the aspects of leadership that are seen to be core to the integrity of HG’s work journey. All the contents of this writing are from the main source generally from the file of the Kedah State Secretary (SUK) as well as interviews with several respondents to strengthen the facts and comments. In general, HG has played its role well and the participation of the people is a wise move on the part of the government to fight the communists.

吉打家卫(hg)的近况与紧急时期工作旅程的加强
这篇文章深入研究了国民警卫队(HG),这是一支以公众参与为骨干的国防力量。HG是在紧急时期(1948-60年)引入马来亚的,1950年开始活跃运作。这篇文章的内容是关于吉打的HG,因为吉打是在紧急情况下受到马来亚共产党(CPM)威胁的大州之一。本文重点介绍了当时政府为加强香港特别行政区总队的工作所做的一些方面。香港特别行政区总队经过精简,行政安排更加健全,使香港特别行政区总队成为当时抵御共产党的第二个防御堡垒。这包括从马来亚以外的外籍人士的参与和加强国内官员。本文还介绍了HG活动期间团队成员的福利。不甘落后,这篇文章也触及了领导力的各个方面,这被认为是HG工作旅程完整性的核心。本文所有内容的主要来源一般来自吉打州务卿(SUK)的档案,以及对几位受访者的采访,以加强事实和评论。总的来说,HG很好地发挥了它的作用,人民的参与是政府打击共产党的明智之举。
