Book Description
National socio-economic development planning in Peninsular Malaysia is guided by the New Development strategy which resulted from the race-riots of May 1969 - events which were themselves clear indication that Peninsular Malaysia lacked national unity. The New Development Strategy has two components, Rukun Negsira (the National Ideology) and the New Economic Policy. The New Economic Policy aims to eradicate poverty and to restructure the socio-economic system in order to remove the inter-communal imbalances which were identified as the root causes of disharmony in the country. In this way it is hoped to create national unity in Peninsular Malaysia. A major weapon in the government's bid to implement the New Economic Policy is the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA). Since its establishment in 1956, FELDA has become not merely Peninsular Malaysia's foremost land developer, but has been raised by the Malaysian government to premier status among agencies implementing national socio-economic development policy.;The present study assesses the ability of the Federal Land Development Authority to comply with the Malaysian government's requirement that through land development FELDA be a major contributor to the attainment of national unity in Peninsular Malaysia. The assessment is undertaken by first analysing the reasons why planning failed to create national unity before 1969, and - in the light of the knowledge gained from this analysis - by then assessing FELDA's qualifications for meeting the responsibilities placed upon it by the post-1969 Plans designed to rectify the situation of socio-economic imbalance. The study considers the nature of inter-communal imbalance in Peninsular Malaysia, and indicates the political and other constraints which govern planning approaches. The study concludes by presenting the main findings regarding the Federal Land Development Authority's ability to contribute to the attainment of national unity in Peninsular Malaysia, with particular attention paid to FELDA's ability to contribute to the implementation of the government's New Economic Policy in the Malay-dominated rural areas.

Land Development Strategies in Malaysia

Book Description
In Malaysia, land is developed by a number of government agencies at the federal and state levels. These various agencies do not follow a specific strategy when developing their respective land schemes. A number of constraints are present in the various approaches adopted by these agencies such as comparatively lower yields, limitation/unavailability of arable land and socio-economic problems in the long run. In view of these limitations the Rubber Research Institute of Malaysia (RRIM) has formulated an alternative approach to land development known as the 'Incentive Wage Concept'. Under this new concept the participants are not granted land ownership rights but are assured of long-term employment with a reasonable income. This concept is being tested in the RRIM Economic Laboratory (RRIM Pantai Scheme) in Kota Tinggi.
