The 10th Malay Regiment, established on 21 May 1949, was the only predominantly Malay regiment of the Malayan National Liberation Army (MNLA). Other regiments of this armed wing of the Malayan Communist Party were predominantly Chinese. The regiment fought against the British occupation of Malaysia after World War II.
The regiment was named after the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah (Zulhijah), the beginning of Eid al-Adha (Hari Raya Korban), celebrated by the Muslims in remembrance of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. It was also on that date that they formed the regiment.{{citation needed|date=September 2024}}
