The Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) began its innovative concept when FELDA's New Model Strategy which went through the evolutionary process in its distinctive niche was first launched in 2020.  The New Model Strategy has a significant impact on the efforts to determine FELDA's vision and direction in changing the mentality of the settlers and rejuvenating FELDA thus driving the aspect of the integrated use of modern technology, mechanisation, automation and intelligent agriculture. Besides, the implementation of the diversity of crops on farms such as pineapple, young ginger, black turmeric and herbs. FELDA is a Malaysian government agency that addresses the relocation of poor rural people to newly developed areas to improve their economic status. FELDA's original main focus was the opening of smallholder farms for contemporary crops. FELDA settlers' husband works hand-in-hand in sustaining FELDA's aspiration to increase daily household income. Typically, conflicts appear when the death or divorce of FELDA settlers occurs and their wives or heirs made property claims. FELDA land issues were discussed based on the types of land titles in the National Land Code 1965 and legal restrictions in Section 14(2) of the Group Land Act 1960.

The Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) began its innovation concept when FELDA's New Model Strategy which went through the evolutionary process in its own distinctive niche was first launched in 2020.  The New Model Strategy has a significant impact on the efforts to determine FELDA's vision and direction in changing the mentality of the settlers and rejuvenating FELDA thus driving the aspect of the integrated use of modern technology, mechanization, automation and intelligent agriculture. Besides that, the implementation of the diversity of crops on farms such as pineapple, young ginger, black turmeric and herbs. FELDA is a Malaysian government agent that addresses the relocation of poor rural people to newly developed areas to improve their economic status. Felda's original main focus was the opening of smallholder farms for contemporary crops. Felda settlers' husband work hand-in-hand in sustaining FELDA's aspiration to increase daily household income. Typically, conflicts appear when the death or divorce of FELDA settlers and their wives or heirs who make property claims. Felda land issues were discussed based on the types of land titles in the National Land Code 1965 and legal restrictions in Section 14(2) of the Group Land Act 1960. There was a disorientation in FELDA's land understanding until the decision of the Syariah High Court, the implementation of the Department of Land and Mines as well as the views of property planning consultants on cases of sects, hibah and inheritance were targeted at the actual meaning. The main objective of this study is to know the concept of jointly acquired and heritage property in FELDA land issues based on fiqh perspective and the provisions of law in Malaysia. The study is qualitative in which some cases have been randomly selected and analyzed. The main collection method is secondary sources comprising digital books and information as well as cases. The results of the analysis revealed that jointly acquired and heritage property have been the practice of FELDA settlers since the second and third generations. This study proposes that a strategic innovation plan can be introduced continuously to ensure that family relationships among FELDA can be preserved and avoided from generation to the next generation only because of this issue.  Abstrak Lembaga Kemajuan Tanah Persekutuan (FELDA) mulai berspektrum inovasi apabila Strategi Model Baharu FELDA yang melalui proses evolusi dalam kepompongnya yang tersendiri mula dilancarkan pada tahun 2020.  Strategi Model Baharu ini memberi impak yang signifikan dalam usaha menentukan visi dan halatuju FELDA dalam mengubah mentaliti peneroka dan meremajakan FELDA seterusnya memacu aspek penggunaan teknologi moden, mekanisasi, automasi dan pertanian pintar secara bersepadu. Selain itu, pelaksanaan kepelbagaian tanaman di ladang seperti nanas, halia muda, kunyit hitam dan herba. FELDA merupakan ejensi kerajaan Malaysia yang menangani penempatan semula penduduk luar bandar yang miskin ke kawasan yang baru dibangun untuk meningkatkan taraf ekonomi mereka. Fokus utama FELDA yang asal adalah pembukaan ladang-ladang pekebun kecil untuk tanaman kontan. Suami isteri peneroka FELDA berganding bahu dalam melestarikan hasrat FELDA dalam menambah pendapatan isi rumah seharian. Lazimnya, konflik muncul apabila berlaku kematian atau perceraian peneroka FELDA dan isteri atau waris yang membuat tuntutan harta. Isu tanah FELDA mula dibincangkan berdasarkan jenis hakmilik tanah dalam Kanun Tanah Negara 1965 dan sekatan perundangan dalam Seksyen 14(2) Akta Tanah Berkelompok 1960. Wujud kecelaruan dalam pemahaman tanah FELDA sehingga keputusan Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah, pelaksanaan di Jabatan Tanah dan Galian serta pandangan perunding perancangan harta berkaitan kes harta sepencarian, hibah dan pusaka tersasar dari maksud sebenar. Objektif utama kajian ini ialah untuk mengetahui konsep harta sepencarian dan warisan dalam isu tanah FELDA berdasarkan hukum fiqah dan peruntukan undang-undang di Malaysia. Kajian ini berbentuk kualitatif di mana beberapa kes telah dipilih secara rawak dan dianalisis. Kaedah pengumpulan utama ialah sumber sekunder terdiri daripada buku dan informasi digital serta kes. Hasil analisis mendedahkan harta sepencarian dan warisan telah menjadi amalan peneroka FELDA sejak generasi kedua dan ketiga. Kajian ini mencadangkan supaya satu pelan inovasi strategik dapat diperkenalkan secara berterusan untuk memastikan hubungan silaturrahim keluarga dalam kalangan FELDA dapat dipelihara dan terhindar daripada perkelahian generasi ke generasi mendatang hanya kerana isu ini.

In 1990, the creation of underground land is created in the National Land Code. The scarcity of land especially in urban areas has pushed the traditional horizontal land development into vertical land development. Apart from transportation purposes, it is suitable for recreational, storage, and service utility purposes. Within this development, it attracts questions such as how to reconcile the right of surface and underground landowners as the law has allowed the ownership of underground land to be independent and separate from the surface owner. In governing the relationship between the surface and the underground landowners, the provision of access, support, and protection are regulated under the express condition in the document of title. This paper explores the concept of the right of support in Malaysia and the requirement for its application. This paper uses the doctrinal method where statutory provisions, cases, legal articles are examined. In discussing this topic, the practice in Singapore and Australia is compared, and it is suggested in regulating the relationship between surface and underground landowners, the creation of easement to be adopted with the compensation to be awarded to the burdened land.

The study of East Asia has generally focused on its national development experience with emphasis given to industrial urban-based growth. However, the region has also been credited for impressive rural growth due to the Northeast Asian land reform and overall investment for a Green Revolution by states. Less emphasis has been given to a comparative exploration of different rural development programs that existed. Studies on rural development programs within the region have been diverse with case-specific perspectives, rather than in accordance with a unified conceptualization of what it means to have successful rural development. This article attempts to address that gap by evaluating two cases, the South Korean Saemaul Undong and the Malaysian Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA). It applies three different development perspectives; the neoliberal approach, the developmental state approach, and the humancentered approach, to determine the degree to which these programs can be considered successful. An East Asian conceptualization of successful rural development is identified based on an emphasis on government capacity, grassroots participation, a shared mentality for national development and a prioritization on building human capital.

Land development processes are driven by complex interactions between socio-economic and spatial factors. Acquiring an understanding of such processes and the underlying procedures helps urban and regional planners, environmental scientists, and policy makers to base their decisions on valid and profound information. In this work, remote-sensing-derived land-cover data were used to characterize the patterns of land development from the beginning of 1985 to the beginning of 2015, in the state of West Virginia (WV), US. We applied spatial pattern analysis, ridge regression, and Geographically Weighted Ridge Regression (GWRR) to examine the impact of population, energy resources, existing land developments dynamics, and economic status on land transformation. We showed that in presence of multicollinearity of explanatory variables, how penalizing regression models in both local and global levels lead to a better fit and decreases the model’s variance. We used geographical error analysis of regression models to visualize the difference between the model estimates and actual values. The findings of this research indicate that because of shifting geography of opportunities, the patterns and processes of land development in the studied region are unstable. This leads to fragmented land developments and prevents formation of large communities.

The study was conducted to obtain a clarified concept about financial, educational and physiological circumstances in relation to fish consumption status as a diet of rural people of Islamnagar village next to Jahangirnagar University campus at Savar upazilla under the Dhaka district in Bangladesh from August, 2016 to February, 2017. All data were collected through a questionnaire survey. The result of this study enlightens that the people were engaged in various professions as local businessman (72%), government employee (8%), farmer (4%) and others (16%). Their monthly income varied from BDT 5,000/= to 55,000/=. Inspite of their engagement in varied professions, they had awareness about fish intake. The people consumed 20 species of fishes under the order Cypriniformes (55.21%), Perciformes (22.69%), Siluriformes (13.49%), Clupeiformes (7.97%) and Osteoglossiformes (0.61%). They consumed small fish (50%), large fish (44%), and dried fish (6%) of both indigenous and exotic species. This study indicates that the people of higher income consumed both small and large fish frequently in each month, whereas, those of lower income consumed the dried and small fishes occasionally.Jahangirnagar University J.
