Historical context: Produced during the Malayan Emergency (1948–1960), this Chinese-language poster contrasts "Building Malaya" – a strong farmer working the land near Kota Bharu – with "Destroying Malaya", a shadowy guerrilla lurking in the jungle below. It was part of the campaign to win the support of Malaya's Chinese community against the communist insurgency.
