Jinjang

Jinjang is a town in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The town was established as part of the British strategy called the Briggs' Plan during the Malayan Emergency. The strategy aimed to forcibly relocate Malayan people, particularly ethnic Chinese, to isolate them from the Communists' influence. Jinjang was by far the largest of the relocation communities (called "New Villages") on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, at 445 hectares (4.45 km), nearly twice the size of the other New Villages combined. It used to be known for the prevalence of gangsterism during the 1970s to late 1980's but is now a largely residential area.
