New Village, also known as Chinese New Village (Chinese: 华人新村), is a special name created during the early pre-Independence days back in the mid-1950s. The purpose of certain (or probably all) New Villages in Malaysia was, to segregate the villagers and have them live together in a new village far away from the early Malayan Communist Party. It is estimate about 1.2 million people living in (452) New Villages throughout Peninsular Malaysia. According to report, 85% of the population in New Village are mainly Chinese, the Malays took up 10% and the Indians 5%. Today they basically look like slums or shanty towns, because of their outdated use.
