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.

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.

<p>The South Kelantan Development Authority (KESEDAR) and the Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) are the two main agencies that develop land schemes in the district of Gua Musang, Kelantan. The nine land schemes developed by FELDA are Kemahang 3, Chiku 1, Chiku 2, Chiku 3, Chiku 5, Chiku 6, Chiku 7, Perasu, and Aring 1. KESEDAR also developed eleven land schemes namely Paloh 1, Paloh 2, Paloh 3, Chalil, Lebir, Meranto, Sungai Terah, Renok Baru, Jeram Tekoh, Limau Kasturi, and Sungai Asap. A large part of the schemes under the FELDA was planted with oil palm (84.7%) while the rest was planted with rubber trees. On the other hand, most of the land schemes under KESEDAR were planted with rubber (67%), while the remainder were planted with oil palm. The question that arises is to what extent is the role of both the agencies in advancing the standard of living of the settlers? What are the problems faced by the settlers and their implications regarding their socio-economic level? This paper will discuss the role played by KESEDAR and FELDA in advancing the standard of living of the settlers as well as identifying the problems faced by the settlers under the two agencies. The study found that many settlers earned between RM600 - RM1200 per month despite the efforts undertaken by FELDA and KESEDAR to improve the living standards of the settlers. The main problems faced by the settlers are: palm oil prices are volatile; oil palm trees are old, the old age of the settlers, and the settlers’ chidren migrating to the city.</p>

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. 


Subject Rural constituencies and Malaysia's forthcoming general election. Significance The inquiries into Malaysia’s Felda Global Ventures Holdings (FGV), the third-largest palm oil plantation conglomerate globally, continue. On June 19, the office of Prime Minister Najib Razak in a statement encouraged FGV’s investigation of allegations of mismanagement and encouraged the firm to improve its corporate governance, while cautioning that those accused were innocent unless formally proven guilty. Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) settlers are a key constituency for Najib, and alleged mismanagement at FGV could threaten support for his United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) in the next general election. Impacts Popular and political pressure for effective corporate governance may grow in Malaysia. New electoral boundaries are likely to be voted through by parliament by August. Further court cases against the Election Commission’s constituency boundary re-delineation are likely.

Palm oil industries have become the main sector to boost the economic revenue in tropical countries, especially in South East Asia. In the recent years, the global production of palm oil reached 72 million metric tons in 2018, increasing from about 68 million metric tons in 2017. During that period, Malaysia is currently the second world producer of palm oil after neighbouring country Indonesia. Both countries are the leading exporters of palm oil with 84 % of worldwide production. A detailed analysis of the palm oil business in Malaysia, the environmental issues that have arisen, and the treatment technology used to effectively treat palm oil mill wastewater are reviewed to gain an understanding of environmental sustainability. In Malaysia, most of the oil palm plantations are owned by private conglomerates (61 %), followed by the independent smallholders (16 %), the Federal Land Development Authority (13 %), state agencies (6 %), the Federal Land Consolidation and Rehabilitation Authority (3 %), and Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Authority (1 %). However, the rate of deforestation has increased due to the expansion of oil palm plantations in Malaysia. Palm oil mill effluent is also considered as one of the major environmental issues since it reduces the water quality index. Some techniques are implemented to treat palm oil mill effluent, such as anaerobic ponding systems, integrated anaerobic-aerobic bioreactors, coagulation and flocculation, thermochemical treatment, vermicomposting, membrane filtration, photocatalysis, moving bed biofilm reactors, and zero liquid discharge. Zero liquid discharge method is considered an appropriate method since this method provides a better waste recovery.
