The Batang Kali massacre was the killing of 24 unarmed villagers by British troops of the Scots Guards on 12 December 1948 during the Malayan Emergency. The incident occurred during counter-insurgency operations against Malay and Chinese communists of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA) in Malaya – then a colony of the British Crown. It was described as "Britain's My Lai" in Christopher Hale's Massacre in Malaya: exposing Britain's My Lai. It is notable as seemingly the only massacre perpetrated by British forces during the war, though some other individual killings of civilians did occur; even MNLA propaganda did not mention other massacres, while Batang Kali appeared heavily in propaganda.

  • 峇冬加里大屠杀(英語:Batang Kali Massacre),是馬來亞緊急狀態時,马来亚峇冬加里所发生英國军隊涉嫌屠杀村民的事件。1948年12月12日,英军指控村民为马来亚共产党武装分子或协助马共武装分子,並殺死村里24名男子,另一人因昏厥逃过厄运,并放火焚燒屋舍,死者当中有12名超过50岁,包括一名70岁老翁。事後參與行動的英军获表扬及升级,而英国政府截至目前为止仍否認參與,而多次指出兇手是當時的雪兰莪苏丹。1950年代起英國政府就開始針對此事展開調查,馬來西亞皇家警察也於1993年至1997年重新檢視證據,但至今仍無任何被指控的兇手遭到懲罰。 (zh)
