The "14-Day War" between the Malays and the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army, also known as the "Parang Panjang War", broke out around August 1945. Shortly after the surrender of japan, the MPAJA went out a full Persecution in the Peninsular Malaya, killing many Malays, Indians who supported the Japanese and lastly Chinese who supported the Kuomintang.The Persecution lasted 14 days in such places like Batu Pahat, Kuala Kangsar, Teluk Intan and much more.[1]
According to Abdul Samad Idris in his book 25 Years of Independence (1982), the "14-Day War" arose as a result of the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army suspicion of the honesty of the Malays, which was deliberately inflated by the communists.[2]

During those 14 days, the MPAJA went on a rampage, acting brutally by killing Malays, Indians and Chinese whom they claimed were Japanese secret police. They took abrutal revenge. Among those incidents, MPAJA soldiers tortured the Malays because their dogs were killed. The Malays who supported the Japanese rule had to protect themselves so they wouldn't get killed.[4]
“They took revenge without being humane even though the Malays who were killed were their neighbors. Among these incidents, the Malayan Peoples' Anti-Japanese Army soldiers tortured Malays because their dogs were killed”[2]
After the 14 days, the British finally controlled Malaya once again and asked the MPAJA insurgents to return back the weapons to the British forces.[5]
