-//"Darurat telah membawa berbagai-bagai peristiwa yang pahit ke atas sebilangan penduduk Tanah Melayu, termasuklah penduduk Kampung Jenderam. Dengan kuatkuasa undang-undang Darurat 1948, seluruh penduduk Kampung Jenderam telah dipindahkan ke khemah tahanan di Kluang, Johor. Kampung halaman mereka telah dimusnahkan, rumah-rumah mereka dibakar dan harta benda mereka dirampas serta dilelong. Peristiwa ini bukan sahaja telah menggemparkan penduduk Tanah Melayu tetapi juga menggegarkan Parlimen British. Kerajaan mengakui bahawa tindakan itu adalah kejam dan tidak berperikemanusiaan, tetapi terpaksa dijalankan kerana pada pendapat mereka penduduk Kampung Jenderam terbukti penyokong kuat Komunis. Oleh kerana itu mereka harus dipindahkan supaya pihak Komunis tidak mendapat bantuan. \\
-\\
-Tetapi adakah sebenarnya penduduk Jenderam ini Komunis.? Ataupun mereka ini pejuang-pejuang kebangsaan yang hendak menuntut kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu! Jika ditinjau lebih dekat didapati bahawa penduduk Jenderam yang berasal dari Indonesia, mendapat pendidikan agama Islam di Indonesia dan mempunyai semangat revolusi Indonesia yang begitu bersemarak ketika itu. Mereka mempunyai fikiran dan pandangan yang progresif dan tujuan sebenar mereka adalah untuk
-memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu. Dengan berpegang kepada hakikat bahawa Tanah Melayu dan Indonesia itu satu, telah menyebabkan mereka bergiat dalam pergerakan Parri Kebangsaan Melayu Malaya (PKMM) yang memperjuangkan kemerdekaan Tanah Melayu bersama-sama dengan Indonesia. \\
-\\
-Perjuangan penduduk Jenderam ini adalah perjuangan untuk mencapai hasrat dan cita-cita ke arah ini yang akibatnya telah mengorbankan kampung halaman, harta benda dan juga nyawa mereka. Bagi mereka, untuk mencapai cita-cita ini mereka sanggup bergabung dengan sesiapa sahaja walau dengan Komunis sekalipun. Pegangan mereka inilah yang telah menyebabkan Kerajaan British menuduh mereka Komunis dan mengambil tindakan yang drastik terhadap mereka. Tindakan secara pukul rata pihak British ini menyebabkan orang awam yang tidak bersalah juga dikategorikan sebagai komunis
-termasuklah golongan wanita dan kanak-kanak. Hanya generasi yang pernah mengalami peristiwa ini yang memahami dan merasai kepedihan dipaksa meninggalkan kampung halaman, sawah bendang, tanaman dan ternakan serta segala-gala yang pernah mereka miliki. Akibatnya agak tragis kerana sehingga kini apabila disebut Kampung Jenderam Hulu, masih ada tanggapan di kalangan sesetengah pihak bahawa kampung ini merupakan bekas kampung komunis dan penduduknya adalah warisan generasi ini."//

-===== 1951-02-18: R.A.F. Bakal Memusnahkan Jenderam? =====
-//"Deserted Jenderam will be a burning township in a few days when the R.A.F. go into action and raze to the ground an area whose inhabitants supported bandit gangs of South Selangor and Negri Sembilan. The action on Jenderam was a "top secret" and instructions to those who were taking part in one of the biggest drives to
-remove active bandit supporters were not issued till the eleventh hour. This contributed greatly to the success of the operation. From an early hour yesterday Security Forces and others were busily engaged in moving the belongings of squatters who on the previous day had been sent in two special trains to resettlement camps in Kluang. \\
-\\
-**PUBLIC AUCTION** \\
-\\
-The properties of those evacuated are all being dumped in a former cinema hall in Kajang for sale by public auction in the next few days. PWD labourers and those from neighbouring estates helped in the removal of property, expected to be completed today. The inhabitants of Jenderam who were mainly Malays, were rubber tappers and padi planters and as a result they had large quantities of these commodities when they were surprised at dawn on Thursday by the Security Forces. While they all docilely complied with the orders given to
-them, many showed distinct signs of nervousness. They wondered what fate had in store for them and their worried looks only disappeared when they were brought to the railway station at Kajang and put into wagons. \\
-\\
-**NOTHING LEFT** \\
-\\
-Not till then did they know that they were Kluang-bound and not being sent to prison for their pro-bandit activities. Nothing of any value will have been left in Jenderam by tomorrow. The Veterinary Department has helped to remove all livestock. Food stocks have also been taken away and will be sold. The PWD supplied a team of technical assistants and a labour force of about 200 to help in the "wiping out" ot Jenderam. They have salvaged several hundreds of corrugated iron sheets, planks and furniture with a resale value of about $8,000. The United Planting Association of Malaya will take charge of the disposal of rubber stocks. The whole proceeds from the sale of property salvaged, will be distributed on a pro rata basis to the inhabitants."//

-==== 1951-02-19: Pernyataan Penafian oleh R.A.F. ====
-//"The R.A.F. said last night that it has no knowledge of any proposal to destroy the evacuated village of Jenderam, in South Selangor, using its aircraft. The statement was issued in reply to a report in a Singapore Sunday newspaper that the village was to be destroyed from the air within the next few days. "Neither the Army nor the Air Force is aware of any proposal to use the services to destroy the village", an R.A.F. spokesman said. Jenderam was cleared of its inhabitants a few days ago, when they were evacuated to other areas for
-screening and eventual resettlement. It is alleged that the village has been a hot bed of bandit helpers and
-sympathisers."// (Indian Daily Mail, 19 February 1951, Page 1: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/indiandailymail19510219-1.2.11|"JENDERAM: R.A.F. STATEMENT"]]).
-===== 1951-02-21: Perbandingan dengan Tragedi Lidice =====
-//"The town of Jenderam may become as notorious as Guernica or Lidice, the Manchester Guardian worries
-today. In an editorial entitled 'The Strong Arm?' The Guardian comments: 'There are some rather startling reports of vigorous action by the Army and the Police in Malaya. "The smalll town named Jenderam in Selangor had become the headquarters of a Malay Communist leader and of his deputies. From it came a stream of Communist propaganda. 'A Malay school master had been murdered and this had for some time been hushed up. It seems clear that part of the inhabitants either sympathise with Communists or have been terrorised into collusion.
-But retribution has been extraordinarily radical. Jenderam seemed simply blotted out. Nobody, it is true has been killed but Troops and Police arrived at dawn one day last week and carried off the entire population of 1,500 to settlements hundred of miles away. "What these people could not carry in trucks sent for them - their livestock for example - will be auctioned. Houses for a radius of 12 miles will be destroyed. "This undoubtedly shows Government means business but what kind of business? Jenderam was provocative. But to blot out a town is a new line in British administration. 'Communist propaganda will try to make Jenderam as notorious as say Guernica and Lidice.'"// (Standard London Correspondent, Singapore Standard, 21 February 1951, Page 1: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/singstandard19510221-1.2.20|"Jenderam Compared To Lidice"]]).
-//"It was nonsense to compare the evacuation of Jenderam in Selangor with the razing of the Czech town of Lidice by the Germans in 1942, said the Director of Information, Mr. J. N. McHugh, today. He was commenting on a Manchester Guardian editorial which said that Communist propaganda would try to make Jenderam as notorious as Lidice and Guernica, the Spanish town where thousands of civilians were killed in a bombing raid in 1937. Mr.McHugh said: "It may well be true that Communist propagandists will distort the facts about the removal of
-people from Jenderam and their resettlement in an area where they will no longer be under the daily menace of
-bandit terrorist'. "But to compare this action with the murder of civilians by air bombardment in Spain or with the massacre ot villagers by the Nazis is non-sensical." But this was unlikely to deter the Communist who continuously referred to the murder of innocent Malayan civilians by terrorists as "liberation". Another Government official said that during the High Commissioner's tour of Selangor yesterday and today he had spoken to many Malays who had been pleased at the removal of this kampong. One leading Malay who had known Jenderam for many years had told the High Commissioner that this action was "one of the best things the Government has
-done in Selangor." Before action was taken against Jenderam, considerable pressure had been brought to bear on
-Government by responsible Malays in Selangor to deal with what they considered "an absolute cancer." At the detention camp in Johore the people of Jenderam would be screened and separated. Those found to have been unwilling supporters of the bandits and who showed a real desire to co-operate with Government would be re-
-settled. The other class, Malays and Chinese, who formed most of those removed from Jenderam, had condemned themselves and shown that they were unworthy xitizens of this country, said the spokesman. "This class merits deportation and those who cannot be dealt with should detained during the emergency.' The people at Jenderam had gone in for Communism because they wished to, not because they were forced to."// (The Straits Times, 22 February 1951, Page 7: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19510222-1.2.102|"JENDERAM CRITICS ARE TOLD: NONSENSE'"]]).
-===== 1951-02-23: Pelarian Warga Kampung =====
-//"Villagers living near to Jenderam - the South Selangor kampong evacuated last week of all its inhabitants -  are leaving their homes to seek shelter in nearby towns. Eighty of the 90 houses in Kampong Bukit Raya - the next village to Jenderam - are now empty. "They obviously feel guilty and are taking to heart the lesson of Jenderam," said a Government officer today. He said that the whole area around Jenderam, including Kampong Bukit Raya "was a bad area." There was a big Malay Min Yuen organisation there, said the official. He said that it the villagers of Kampong Bukit Raya are moving out on their own, the authorities will be more than pleased for it will "save us of doing another Jenderam." \\
-\\
-People's Fear \\
-\\
-According to the Malay newspaper Majlis, the voluntary evacuation ot Kampong Bukit Raya is because the people fear similar action may be taken against them. The paper said the kampong is considered a "hot spot." A school teacher in the village is reported to have said that about 40 pupils have left school and moved with their parents. Today the Majlis editorial commenting on the Manchester Guardian criticism of the Jenderam evacuation which describes last week's action as "a new line in British administration," says that these are the views of those living 8,000 miles away. "Local people are better informed regarding the incident," the Majlis points out. "We know why the authorities have acted to blot out the village and to send the people to Kluang." states Majlis."//

-===== 1951-03-01: Artikel Editorial Singapore Standard =====
-//"Jenderam, so the official communique tells us, is today "a deserted, soulless place". Its eight square miles have been denuded of population. Jenderam, with its empty and deserted buildings which once housed 1,500 people, has been "scrubbed from the map". When the kampong was being rubbed out, there were, says the official communique, "tears from some of the women". But assures the statement, they were "crocodile tears which did
-not soften the heart of the authorities." \\
-\\
-For the authorities, the destruction of Jenderam was a military necessity. The kampong was one of the main centres of Communist propaganda. There have been some fifty major bandit-inspired incidents in this area and a large number of bandit camps have been discovered in the vicinity. \\
-\\
-Militarily, therefore, Jenderam had to be wiped out. The authorities had to remove an obstacle from the path to victory. Once we accept the premise that military necessity should be the overriding consideration then there can be no argument about Jenderam. The grim logic of military necessity must lead to Jenderam and other Jenderams before this war is over. \\
-\\
-The end justifies the means. And having made this profound confession we can turn over and get a good night's rest. But before we can do this we must drug our conscience and put into cold storage our sense of right and wrong. \\
-\\
-Once we do this, however, the end becomes meaningless. We begin to uphold the very evils against which we have taken up arms. \\
-\\
-In Jenderam we have undoubtedly acted against principles which are cardinal to the democratic way of life. \\
-\\
-For the moral assumption behind Jenderam is that it is right to punish the innocent as well as the guilty. This is a long way from the proud and, until now, legitimate boast that our law would rather that 10 guilty men should go free than one innocent man should suffer. \\
-\\
-Jenderam is merely the logical outcome of the objectionable principle of collective punishment which we have accepted today. There may be people who may not be in a mood to attempt to resolve this contradiction between our traditional conceptions of justice and military necessity. Collective punishment, they will say, is not a fit subject for moral discourse at the present time. Such a discussion will only serve to confuse the issue and play into the hands ot the Communists. \\
-\\
-But if it is to "confuse" the issue and "to play into the hands of Communism" by calling attention to the fact that we ourselves are being false to the principles which it is our intention to defend, then we are living in strange times indeed. If we are afraid to have flung at our face the sacred principles which we claim to worship, then is it because our conscience is disturbed? \\
-\\
-We don't say that is at all easy to reconcile military necessity with our sense of justice. Sometimes it may be necessary to sacrifice justice to meet desperate situation. But that must be done only when it is genuinely impossible to do otherwise. \\
-\\
-Colletive punishment which even Sir Henry Gurney admitted as involving "the objectionable principle of punishment of the innocent" is being resorted to far more readily and frequently than we had expected. Collective punishment has been applied in Pusing, in Sungkok and Jenderam within the last two months: At the moment of writing the village of Sungei Udang is under the threat of being declared a "bad" village. \\
-\\
-It is, of course, silly to compare Jenderam to Lidice and Guernica. The villagers of Jenderam have not been subjected to physical violence. But what we did kill in Jenderam was our sense of justice. It is reported that villagers living near to Jenderam are leaving their homes to seek shelter in neighbouring towns. There may be guilty ones among them but there are also innocent people who are fleeing because they have begun to fear us. \\
-\\
-We have waxed indignant whenever the Fascists and the Communists have applied the principle of collective punishment, the punishment of the innocent, in areas which are hostile to them. \\
-\\
-But now that we are upholding the same principle can we, without being hypocritical, point a finger of scorn at them? Or are we to come forward and say bluntly that in fighting Communism we should not pay regard to what is right and wrong but that justice is that which helps us to achieve the end we have in view? \\
-\\
-We point to Jenderam as a warning that unless we are careful we may finish this war believing that justice is what is convenient to us and that moral values are meaningless aphorisms for school children only. Let us not make the future safe for what the late George Orwell called "double-think.""//

-===== 1951-03-08: Penjelasan Pejabat Kolonial di Parlimen =====
-//"Mr. Tom Cook, Colonial Under-Secretary, told the House of Commons yesterday that the detention of 1,600 inhabitants of Jenderam last month was exceptional. They were detained because Jenderam had been a hotbed of Communist activities, he said. Mr. Emrys Hughes (Labour) had asked for details of the detention. Mr. Cook replied: "The 1,600 inhabitants of Jenderam, consisting mostly of Indonesian Malays and Chinese, were detained under the Emergency Regulation 17-D, which provides for collective detention; they have been evacuated to a camp for screening after which those who can safely be released will be resettled. "The reason for this action
-was that Jenderam had long been a hotbed of Communist activities. It had been a centre for providing supplies
-and recruits for terrorist bands operating in South Selangor. No Information what-ever had been forthcoming
-from the inhabitants. 'The people are being well cared for and will receive compensation for goods they were
-unable to take with them. Those who are eventually resettled will, of course, receive Government assistance in the normal course. "This operation was carried out only after careful consideration and is exceptional, it emphasises by contrast the Government's constructive and progressive policy elsewhere in Malaya tn assisting all those who show willingness to co-operate in the restoration of law and order.' - Reuter"// (The Singapore Free Press, 8 March 1951, Page 1: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/freepress19510308-1.2.17|"Jenderam was an exception"]]; The Singapore Free Press, 8 March 1951, Page 1: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/freepress19510308-1.2.13|"PERSIA KILLING WORRIES WEST"]]).

-//"Alleged thefts from Jenderam during the evacuation of 1,700 under the Emergency Regulations had a sequel at
-Kajang when Thillyampalam, a senior Indian hospital attendant with 24 years' service, was acquitted of stealing two bicycle tyres. The Magistrate, Inche Harun, said he felt that all the ambulance men were implicated. "I do not understand why the whole lot of them were not charged." he added. Evidence was given that several articles were found in an ambulance which had gone to Jenderam to remove the sick and aged. After hearing five prosecution witnesses, the magistrate said that unless the four stretcher-bearers, two hospital attendants, and two policemen were all charged, he was not prepared to convict one man. All the men connected with the ambulance denied stealing the articles. Thillyampalam who was represented by Mr. Robert Chelliah was acquitted and discharged. The court was told that the ambulance made a number or trips from Jenderam to Kajang. Mr. Deval. A.S.P. and Police Lieut. Porthouse, said they saw Thillyampalam coming out of a shop in Jenderam carrying two bicycle tyres. Suspecting that he had stolen the tyres. they searched the ambulance and found two

-amount to be paid every month. The Federal Legislative Council was told this today when the Secretary for Defence, Mr. D. C. Watherston, replied to Captain Hussein bin Onn on why the village in south Selangor was cleared. Before it was decided to make a whole sweep of Jenderam and clear the people away to a detention camp, more than 100 Malays had come to Kuala Lumpur, in small and large deputations on different dates, to plead
-with the C.P.O. Selangor to take action. Mr. Watherston said the whole of the Jenderam area, covering some 20 square miles, was now prohibited to the public, unless they obtained a permit trom the C.P.O. Those detainees from Jenderam who had been released could go to other selected areas in Selangor."// (The Straits Times, 26 April 1951, Page 1: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19510426-1.2.9|"Paid Bandits $4000monthly"]]).
-//"Before the round-up in Kampong Jenderam in February last took place, altogether over 100 Malays from
-Kampongs in South Selangor had come to Kuala Lumpur in large and small parties on different dates to beg the Chief Police Officer to take action against Jenderam. These Malays said that they were being bled white by
-the Jenderam people. This was revealed in the Federal Legislative Council today by the Secretary for Defence, Mr. D. C, Watherston, answering oral questions by Capt. Hussein bin Onn. Mr Watherston said that of the 1,807 people who were rounded up 12 Chinese, 83 Malays and 103 Indians, totalling 198, were exempted by the High
-Commissioner from the operation of the order made under the Emergency Regulations and were released either immediately or within a few days. He recounted the reasons for the round-up in Jenderam which, he said, was the bandits' supply and information centre for the whole of south Selangor. Bandit collections from Jenderam came
-to $4,000 month, he said. All those rounded up in Jenderam, except those released, are being detained in the Kluang Detention Camp, because there is no place for them in any of the camps in Selangor. \\
-\\
-Of those sent to the Kluang Detention Camp, a total of 56, including 32 Malay children under 12 years, have been released up to April 21. All the inhabitants of the area were screened during the course of the round-up operations and since then more than 100 persons, all adult Malays or Indonesians, have been interrogated.
-The process was continuing, Mr. Watherston stated. Evidence has emerged from the interrogations that of those detained, 81 Indonesians and Malays and 36 Chinese were definitely implicated with the bandits. This did not mean that it would be possible to charge all these people in court. The ultimate number against whom there was evidence of complicity with the bandits was likely to be very much higher, said Mr. Watherston. All livestock and perishable goods belonging to the people who were rounded up in Kampong Jenderam, have been sold and the amounts realised will be paid to the original owners of the property. Moveable property, such as furniture, bicycles and wireless sets which it was impracticable for the owners to take to the detention camp has been moved to Kajang where it has been stored. With regard to immovable property, there are several houses ? ? ? ? ? approximately 20 square miles. No person is allowed in the area without a written authority from the C.P.O. and such protection as is within the power of the security forces is being given, said Mr. Watherston. In general,
-any person released from detention will not be permitted to return to the Jenderam area at least for the present. 'It is the intention that they should be made subject to orders under the Emergency Regulations prohibiting them from residing within the south Selangor Police Circle," Mr. Watherston stated. He added that it was understood that the Selangor Government had selected areas in other parts of the State for the settlement of such persons as were released. They could either live at these places or go to live elsewhere at- approved addresses, he explained. Inche Mohd. Yusof asked whether Government was aware that it was "useless" to release the husband and detain the wife and vice versa. Mr. Watherston replied that Government considered each case carefully. To another question by Inche Yusof whether Government was aware that released husbands were lingering about the detention camp until their wives were released and vice versa, there was no answer."//

It should be understood that there were items not received in the store but are listed in the annexures for the purpose of compensation. This is in line with the Committee's policy of paying compensation, however small it might be, to all claimants producing Repatriation Tickets irrespective of whether their goods reached the store or not. \\
-. The annexures 'J' 'K' & 'L' merely show the rates at which compensations are to be paid and the total amounts required under the various classification of items. \\
-. Bicycles and sewing machines are yet to be sold. Enclosure (43) herein is relevant. \\
-. I maintain that the classification of the goods as shown in Annexures 'A' to 'I' are sufficient for this purpose. The O.S.P.C.South Selangor and Major Clementi-Smith O.C. of the local Suffolks Regiment have been consulted and they agreed that this would be the best solution. This was also discussed at DWEC meeting and the recommendation was unanimously accepted. Many months of laborious work have already been devoted to this and the suggestion to reclassify them would create further delay in the payment of compensation. The Malay Press have been severe in their attacks on the Government on the Jendram evacuation generally and I do not think we would like to read any more about them.

-//"Sekitar tahun 1958, Raja Mahmud bin Raja Alang (kerabat Sultan Selangor) telah berusaha dan memohon kepada Kerajaan British agar penduduk Kampung Jenderam Hulu yang diarah berpindah ke kem di Kluang dibenarkan pulang ke kampung halaman mereka. Pada mulanya, permintaan beliau ditolak. Walau bagaimanapun, beliau tidak berputus asa dan meneruskan usaha dengan mengadakan perundingan demi perundingan bersama wakil Kerajaan British. Setelah kata sepakat dicapai, British membenarkan penduduk kampung untuk kembali ke rumah masing-masing dengan syarat mereka tidak dibenarkan tinggal di kawasan pedalaman. Oleh itu, "rumah tumpang" iaitu rumah sementara yang dibina sederet (seperti rumah kedai) digunakan bagi mereka yang mahu menetap di kampung ini kerana rumah-rumah yang lain telah
-dibakar."// (//"Dipetik dan diubah suai daripada Mohd. Nor bin Mohd.

-//"Oleh kerana Sungai Jenderam ini telah diluruskan, kawasan ini sekarang tidak lagi terdedah kepada banjir. Penanaman padi yang banyak sekali ialah sebelum penduduk Kampung Jenderam Hulu ini dipindahkan dalam tahun 1951. Selepas mereka balik semula ke kampung ini, penanaman padi sudah berkurangan dan selepas tahun 1972, penanaman padi di kawasan ini telah dihentikan. Selain daripada getah dan padi, terdapat juga aktiviti campuran seperti membela binatang ternakan dan kebun buah-buahan. \\

-Apabila kampung ini dibuka semula selepas tahun 1958, hanya orang-orang Melayu sahaja yang dibenarkan balik. Setelah orang-orang Jenderam Hulu dibenarkan balik ke kampung mereka, Kerajaan telah melaksanakan projek pembangunan bagi kemajuan kampung ini. Antara projek yang telah dilaksanakan seperti Balai raya (1959), Pondok Telefon (1959), Sekolah Agama (1964), Klinik Kesihatan (1964) dan Rumah Kaum Ibu (1965). Sekolah Melayu Kampung Jenderam Hulu telah dibina semula dalam tahun 1959.

-===== 1958-04-25: Seruan Pembukaan Semula =====
-//"For two years now the Selangor and Federation Governments have been talking of the return to life of the once notorious village of Jenderam, evacuated seven years ago under the Emergency Regulations. The authorities appear to have gone through all the motions of preparing Jenderam's rehabilitation. Its former inhabitants, mostly Malays, were assured that everything was being done to hasten their return. Last October the Prime Minister assured a delegation that he would send them back to their homes if the State War Executive Committee raised no objections. The S.W.E.C. had no objections. A few weeks later the Emergency Operations Council decided to allow the villages to go back. The Selangor Government announced that it was drawing up a plan to resettle them. In fact the rehabilitation of Jenderam was given 'top priority'. And then the Selangor State Secretary announced that all plans were delayed by 'unforeseen technical difficulties.' These difficulties appear to be not so much technical as financial. The rehabilitation scheme is expected to cost $2,000,000. The State Government believes the Federal Government should find the money, presumably because the village was evacuated on its instructions. It is not fair that the villagers should be kept in suspense like this. The Federal and State Governments both have a responsibility towards the uprooted people of Jenderam. They were kept in detention camps for a while, and then released to fend for themselves. Many are staying with relatives and others eke out a living somehow. Is it right that they should be prevented from returning to the homes and land they were forced to abandon seven years ago? Other 'bad' villages have been reopened with a fanfare: why not re-open Jenderam with a generous flourish?"// (The Straits Times, 25 April 1958, Page 6: {{ :akhbar:straitstimes19580425-1-2-78-2.pdf ||}}[[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/straitstimes19580425-1.2.78.2|"Village Of No Return"]]).
-//"Sa-hingga sekarang telah dua tahun Negeri Selangor dan Kerajaan Persekutuan membinchangkan tentang hendak menghidupkan kembali kampong Jenderam yang pada suatu masa dahulu sangat merbahaya dan terpaksa di-pindahkan pada masa tujoh tahun dahulu di-bawah Undang2 Dharurat. Pehak2 yang berkuasa nampak-nya telah me-mereksa semua shor2 berkenaan persediaan2 hendak membangunkan kembali kampong Jenderam itu. Bekas pendudok-nya, ke-banyakan-nya orang2 Melayu, telah di-beri jaminan ia-itu segala2nya sedang di-uruskan untok mem-perchepatkan agar mereka
-dapat kembali ka-kampong mereka itu. Pada bulan October yang lalu Perdana Menteri telah memberi jaminan kapada
-suatu perwakilan ia-itu dia akan mengirim atau menghantar mereka kembali ka-rumah masing2 jika Jawatan kuasa Perang Negeri tidak mendatangkan sa-barang bantahan. Jawatan kuasa Perang Negeri itu tidak ada sa-barang ban—
-tahan. Beberapa minggu kemudian-nya Majlis Gerakan Dharurat mengambil keputusan hendak membenar-kan orang2 kampong itu kembali ka-kampong mereka. Dan Kerajaan Selangor mengumumkan bahawa Kerajaan sedang membuat suatu ranchangan untok me-nempatkan mereka itu kembali. Sa-benar-nya pe-mulehan sa-mula kampong Jenderam itu telah di-beri "keutamaan yang istimewa." Sa-telah itu pula Setiausaha Negeri Selangor mengumum-kan ia-itu semua ranchangan2 telah terlambat di-sebabkan "kesusahan2 teknikal yang tidak di-sangka2." Kesusahan2 ini nampak-
-nya bukan-lah bagitu besar tentang teknikal sa-bagai-mana kesusahan kewangan. Ranchangan pemulehan sa-mula ini ada-lah di-jangka akan memakan belanja sa-banyak $2,000,000. Kerajaan Negeri berpendapat bahawa Kerajaan Persekutuan yang sa-patut-nya menchari wang itu, ia-itu boleh jadi kerana kampong itu telah di-pindahkan atas perentah2 mereka. Ada-lah tidak patut orang2 kampong itu di-biarkan de-ngan terharap-harap saperti sekarang ini. Kerajaan2 Negeri dan Persekutuan ke-dua2nya mempunyai tanggong jawab terhadap men-chabut akar umbi kampong
-tersebut. Orang2 kampong itu telah di-simpan dalam tahanan buat sementara, dan kemudian-nya di-bebaskan untok menchari kehidupan mereka sendiri. Banyak di-antara mereka itu tinggal dengan saudara mara mereka dan yang lain2nya pula sa-dapat2nya bertungkus lumus berjuang untok hidup. Ada-kah satu perbuatan yang betul mereka itu di-tegah daripada hendak kembali ka-rumah2 dan tanah di-mana mereka telah di-paksa meninggalkan-nya pada masa tujoh tahun yang lalu itu? Kampong2 "burok" yang lain2 telah di-buka sa-mula dengan segala ke-gembiraan; kenapa tidak boleh di-buka sa-mula kampong Jenderam dengan kurniaan yang berlimpah-limpah?"// (Berita Harian, 26 April 1958, Page 4: [[https://eresources.nlb.gov.sg/newspapers/digitised/article/beritaharian19580426-1.2.63|"Kampong Jenderam"]]).

-===== 1958-11-16: Kepulangan Warga =====
-//"A town which died seven years ago is coming back to life today. Its 1,500 people who had been forced to leave in disgrace for non-co-operation with the authorities in the Emergency are now slowly returning from all parts of the Federation with raised heads and new hope. The town is Jenderam in Selangor, about 30 miles from Kuala Lumpur. Once a notorious black spot, it was ordered in 1951 to be sealed under the Emergency Regulations for failing to supply information about terrorist activities in the area. \\
-\\
-The return to Jenderam started about eight weeks ago when the Government lifted its ban on residence there.
-But when the first 25 families of about 200 people came back to their town, they found emptiness everywhere.
-The old mosque was there but the town's 400 houses had vanished. Of the Malay school opposite the mosque, only
-cement posts remained. Jenderam's 1,000 acres of rubber smallholdings and 600 acres of padi land were a jungle
-of lallang. Today, however, a few weeks after their return, 20 wooden houses have been put up along the main road; the mosque grounds are being cleared up; a coffeeshop and grocery has been opened and acres of lalang have been cleared. Money is needed to repair the mosque, build a new school, houses and cultivate the land,
-and the Government has promised to help. So far only the Malays have returned — the Chinese section of the community has yet to come back. But by word of mouth, the message is being passed to former residents now scattered throughout the country: "We have come home. We hope you will come back too and help us rebuild our town." During their exile they had eked a living here and there, all the while yearning to return to their own rich rubber and padi land. Now that their hope has been realised they have banded together for the hard work that must be done. \\
-\\
-They are showing what co-operation and determination can achieve. Today Jenderam is humming with activity.
-One of the first to return to Jenderam is Mohamed Yakim, 48. He said: "Our family has been here for many generations. When the authorities ordered us to leave we couldn't bear to be too far away - so we chose to
-settle down in nearby Jenderam Hilir. "I'll never forget the day we moved out. It was a sad day as we left with our barang barang. I had to leave my 15 acres of kebun getah and three acres of padi land, from which I had
-earned a good living. "In the new place we moved to, I had to go to work for people. All those years, we were longing to return to Jenderam. So when the Government said we could do so, I wasted no time in bringing my wife and five children back. "It was a bit of a shock to find our homes gone and our land overgrown with lallang. But we were not disheartened. We set to work and everybody did his share. We have already put up a house and my land is slowly becoming fit for cultivation." \\
-\\
-Abdul Rahim bin Dasar, 30, who was repairing the Jenderam town sign on the road, said : "My brother,
-sister and I left Jenderam with the rest of the people. My sister and I went to Kuala Lumpur; my brother
-to Singapore. We had to leave our 15 acres of rubber land and eight acres of padi field. "In Kuala Lumpur, I worked as a labourer but I was not happy. I wanted to come back here. So as soon as the Government lifted the ban on the town, my sister and I returned." Rabeha binte Mat Pya, mother of six children who ran a coffeeshop and a grocery store in the old town, has already started a new shop. Raja Izam bin Raja Hussain, is not a former resident of Jenderam, but he came with the returnees as the town's new penghulu. "I have never seen a happier or more hard working people." said Raja Izam. "They came back to desolation. Except for the old mosque, not a stick was left standing. Yet, within a few weeks, they have made Jenderam a semblance of a town. "I'm sure at the rate the people are rebuilding it, the new Jenderam will be an even better and more prosperous
-town.""//

Pada satu ke-tika dahulu menjadi kawaSan yang merbahaya dan dalam tahun 1951 pendudok2-nya di-pindahkan keluar. \\

-Penempatan sa-mula di-kampong Jenderam ini bermula lebeh kurang delapan minggu dahulu. Pada mum-nya waktu 25 keluarga yang mengandongi lebeh kurang 200 orang itu balek "ka-kampong" mereka dapati Jenderma[Jenderam] tidak saperti... Hanya bangunan masjid yang sa-kian lama terbiar itu sahaja mengalu2kan "selamat pulang" kapada mereka. 400 bangunan rumah kedai di-situ telah ranap tidak lagi ter-nyata di-mana-kah le-tak-nya bangunan2 itu
-dahulu. Sekolah Melayu hanya meninggalkan lantai cement-nya sa-haja, yang lain-nya telah termusnah. Kalau dahulu 1,000 ekar kebun getah dan 600 ekar tanah sawah tumboh hijau dan subor, sekarang tanah2 itu di-liputi oleh pokok2 lalang, hidup ta' di-pedulikan siapa. Hari ini, ia-itu beberapa ming[g]u sa-lepas pendudok2 ini pulang telah kelihatan 20 buah rumah kayu berderet di-tepi jalan raya. Masjid Jenderam di-chuchi sa-mula, sa-buah kedai kopi dan kedai makan di-buka sa-mula dan beberapa ekar lalang di-tebas habis. Kerajaan sedang berusaha mendapatkan wang untok membantu pendudok2 di-situ memperbaiki masjid mereka, membena sekolah2 dan
-rumah2 kediaman dan juga membuka sa-mula tanah2 yang terbiar. Pendudok2-nya pun ta' kurang giat mema'amorkan sa-mula bandar ini. Sa-takat ini hanya terdapat pendudok2 Melayu sahaja yang pulang ka-Jenderam, Pendudok2 dari bangsa lain belum lagi berbuat demikian. Tetapi berita bahawa bandar ini di-buka sa-mula sedang di-hebahkan. Kata mereka yang pulang, 'Kami sudah pulang: dan berharap kawan2 sakalian mengikut jejak langkah kami - pulang-lah mema'amorkan kampong kita.' Pendudok2 Jenderam sunggoh sibok sekarang. Bertimbun2 balak kelihatan di-tepi jalan, orang2 memasang dindang di-rumah mereka yang baharu di-dirikan, hutan lalang di-tebas untok menanam getah, padi dan lain2 makanan. Mereka bertekun peloh mengalir dengan tujuan yang satu, bergotong royong untok membuka tempat kediaman asal. Dengan semangat hendak maju mereka bekerja. Ikuti-lah perbualan beberapa orang pendudok2 di-situ dengan Pemberita Berita Harian. Tuan Mohammad Yakim, 48, ada-lah di-antara pendudok2 yang paling tua di-Kampong Jenderam menyatakan, "Keluarga kami telah tinggal di-sini sejak beberapa keturunan. Jadi
-apabila kami di-suroh berpindah kami enggan berpindah jauh. Kami memileh Jenderam Hilir sa-bagai tempat kediaman baharu. "Saya ta' akan lupa pada hari pemindahan dahulu. Sunggoh walang hati kami waktu mengilek barang2 kami. Saya terpaksa meningg[a]lkan 15 ekar kebun getah dan tiga ekar tanah sawah yang sudah beberapa lama mengeluarkan hasil yang baik. \\

-"Di-Jenderam Hilir saya terpaksa bekerja untok orang lain. Dan sejak keluar tempat hidup tidak bagitu gembira dan sentiasa berharap akan pulang ka-kampong. Apabila sahaja Kerajaan memberi tahu bahawa kami boleh pulang, dengan tidak lengah2 lagi saya bersiap. Saya pindah dari Jenderam Hilir dengan isteri dan lima orang anak
-saya. "Manakala sampai di-kampong kami rumah kami dahulu telah di-musnahkan, tanah getah dan padi penoh dengan lalang. Tetapi ? tidak menghampakan harapan kami. Kami ? tekun dan pada hari ini rumah saya telah ? dan tanah2 siap untok di-tanam." Abdul Rahim bin Dasar, 30, memberitahu ? waktu dia sibok membaiki papan2 nama di-bandar Jenderam itu, "Abang saya. kakak dan ? berpindah keluar bersama dengan pendudok2 yang lain. Kakak saya dan saya pergi ka-Kuala Lumpur dan abang saya ka-Singapura. \\

-"Saya terpaksa meninggalkan tanah2 getah dan padi yang luas-nya 15 dan delapan ekar. Di Kuala Lumpur saya dapat kerja sa-bagai sa-orang buroh. Tetapi saya tidak suka dengan kerja ? Senantiasa saya berharap akan pulang ka-Jenderam. "Sa-tahu sahaja bahawa kami boleh pulang maka kakak saya dan saya terus pulang ka-Jenderam. Saya perchaya abang saya pun akan turut jejak saya." Berpeluang juga ? berbual dengan ? bt Mat Pia, sa-orang tokeh kedia[kedai] barang2 dapor dan kadai ?. Beliau memberitahu saya "Waktu Jenderam di-tutup saya dan enam orang anak2 saya pindah ka-Gombak ? Kuala Lumpur. Saya bekerja di-sana, kalau tidak anak2 saya nanti mati kelaparan.
-"Tetapi saya mempunyai harapan pada satu hari saya akan pulang ka-Jenderam membuka sa-buah kedai baharu. Sekarang ? sunggoh gembira kerana saya telah mempunyai sa-buah kedai di-sini." Penghulu kampong Jenderam, Raja Izam Raja Hussain sempat juga memberi pendapatnya kapada saya, 'Sa-benar-nya saya bukan ? berasal dari Jenderam. Saya baharu sahaja di-hantar ka-sini menjadi penghulu di-daerah ini. Tetapi saya boleh juga mencheritakan pemindahan sa-mula pendudok2 kampong Jenderam. 'Pendudok2 ini pulang ka-sabuah kampung yang dapat di-bezakan dengan padang jarak padang terkukor - hanya yang tinggal ia-lah masjid. Ta' ada sa-batang tiang yang berdiri." "Tetapi dalam masa yang sengkat sahaja mereka telah mendirikan rumah2 kediaman mereka dan sa-buah pekan sudah pun nampak ? \\

-Ketabahan hati mereka hendak-lah di-? Dengan kerjasama antara mereka sama ? mereka telah membuka sa-buah pekan baharu. Mereka berharap mendapat bantuan wang dari pehak yang berkuasa. Bus dan bekalan elektrik belum ada lagi. Tentu mereka akan mendapat?nya. "Pada masa ini Jenderam maseh lagi sa-bagai satu achuan yang belum di-isi. Tetapi di-tilek ? chara pendudok2-nya bertekun mema'amorkan pekan ini, Jenderam pada tahun hadapan ?
-ma'amor dan maju." //

-===== 1959-01-28: Proses Pembukaan Semula =====
-//"Residents of Jenderam, The Selangor 'ghost town' which has just been reoponed, were all smiles yesterday when they learned that 420 families there will each receive a grant of $250. The Federation Government announced that the Social Welfare Services Lotteries Board had approved a $105,000 grant to help the people re-established themselves. Jenderam was closed by the Government eight years ago because the people there failed to co-operate in fighting the Emergency. Only 65 families have returned to the village, which was reopened four months ago. The others, who are scattered all over the Federation, are being asked to go back. The Mentri Besar of Selangor, Inche Abdul Jamil bin Abdul Rais, visited the village yesterday. A large crowd gathered at the mosque to listen to him was told that the State Government had set aside $70,000 for the development of Jenderam. \\
-\\
-There are 22 wooden shophouses and several huts along the main road at Jenderam. Its 1,000 acres of rubber smallholdings and 600 acres of rice fields are being cleared of lallang and grass. Members of the kampong's development committee told the Straits Times today that money was urgently needed to build a new school, repair the mosque and cultivate the land. The rice fields, they said, could not be planted with padi because of an acute lack of water. An irrigation system was badly needed. At present the people's only means of livelihood was rubber tapping. The secretary of the development committee, Inche Abdul Rahman bin Dasar said: 'We shall need all the help the Government can give us. 'Our only means of earning a living is by tapping, but this cannot go on for long because most of the trees are very old.'//"

-Peta sekitar Kg. Jenderam (ditandakan merah). Kelihatan Kg. Jalan Bahru (ditandakan ungu, mungkin merujuk kepada [[https://bangi.pulasan.my/jalan_reko_telokdatok|Jalan Bangi-Telok Datok]] yang siap dibina 8-9 tahun selepas Kg. Jenderam diasaskan), dan Kg. Jenderam Hilir (ditandakan biru tua) di sebelah utara. Ada pendapat mengatakan Kg. Bahru mendahului Kg. Jenderam Hilir, dan ada juga pendapat sebaliknya (Discovery Research Consultant Management Sdn Bhd, b/p Unit Perancang Ekonomi Negeri (UPEN) Selangor, 2007: [[https://search.worldcat.org/title/koleksi-cerita-asal-usul-dan-sejarah-daerah-sepang/oclc/746106230|Koleksi Cerita Asal Usul dan Sejarah Daerah Sepang]], hlm.22-23). \\
