The Palm Oil Pioneer: Commander W.L SUSAN M. MARTIN MARTIN SUSAN M. The UP Saga Susan M. Martin Histories of the plantations sector in Malaysia have largely focused on the rubber industry and on the rise and fall of big British-owned colonial enter- prises. But since independence, the sector has entered a new phase of spectacular growth founded on the oil palm. This volume offers a radically different history by telling the fascinating story of United Plantations Berhad (UP), a firm of Scandinavian origin that has spanned both eras and evolved along quite different lines from the normal models of British imperial business. The book is also unusual in that the author had full access to well-preserved company records. Tracing the company’s origins before the First World War, The UP Saga describes the crisis years of economic depression, Japanese occupa- T tion and the turmoil of the Emergency, followed by Merdeka and the years he of spectacular growth that have lasted to the present day. ‘[The UP Saga] is expertly researched and is therefore a radically differ- UP ent history of the plantation industry. It offers the reader an authoritative and quite remarkable study … authenticated by the personal experiences The of many recognised experts in this field. … Through her work on The UP S Saga Susan Martin has produced a work of historic importance and great aga interest to all those interested in the development of the global palm oil industry.’ ~ William King, London Metropolitan University UP ‘Potential purchasers should not be fooled by the title into believing that this book is merely yet another company history. It is far more than that. It is undoubtedly the best history that has been written to date of the spec- tacular growth of the Malaysian oil palm industry from its earliest days right Saga up to 2002. … anyone with any interest in palm oil, or the plantation industry cannot afford to be without it. It is also a “must read” for anyone concerned with development studies, the history of Malaysia, or of tropical agricul- ture.’ ~ Datuk Leslie Davidson, Chairman (retired), Unilever Plantations Southdene Sdn.

As a Scandinavian enterprise with a strong culture T of co-operation and good corporate citizenship, this firm was able to thrive even better after independence than it had done under colonialism, and made a distinctive contribution to the development process. In recent years the UP success story has also been the story of Malaysia’s success in export-led industrialization, a rare and spectacular case of industrial growth based on tropical agricultural foundations. Within the context of both imperial economic history and development studies, this is such a remarkable story that no researcher could have been ex- pected to go out looking for it. Nor could it have been found and understood by one person without a great deal of help. Indeed, so many people have helped in the writing of this book that it is impossible to list them all in one short preface. Most of them appear in the list of interviews and correspondents in the Biblio- graphy, and several more may be found as authors discussed in the Introduction. Special thanks must be given to the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London, and to the Nuffield Foundation, which funded the initial fieldwork in Malaysia and Denmark, and to Tan Sri Dato’ Seri Børge Bek-Nielsen, who offered hospitality and full access to company archives both in Malaysia and Denmark, and who has supported the project consistently without ever seeking to determine my analysis or change the text.

How can this palm be viewed as a “miracle plant” by both the agro-food industry in the North and farmers in the tropical zone, but a serious ecological threat by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) campaigning for the environment or the rights of indigenous peoples? The time has come to move on from this biased and often irrational debate, which is rooted in topical issues of contemporary society in the North, such as junk food, biodiversity, energy policy and ethical consumption. One of the reasons the public has developed as nuclear energy, genetically modified crops such fixed ideas is that there has been a lack or shale gas) that is causing controversy but an of accurate information on the sector and its entire agrom-food sector that has come to actors and a clear-headed analysis of what is symbolize the conflict between the at stake.

Received: 6 April 2020; Accepted: 10 May 2020; Published: 14 May 2020 Abstract: The consumers’ opinion concerning conventional palm (Elaeis guineensis) oil is negatively affected by environmental and nutritional issues. However, oils extracted from drupes of interspecific hybrids Elaeis oleifera E. guineensis are getting more and more interest, due to their chemical and × nutritional properties. Unsaturated fatty acids (oleic and linoleic) are the most abundant constituents (60%–80% of total fatty acids) of hybrid palm oil (HPO) and are mainly acylated in position sn-2 of the glycerol backbone. Carotenes and tocotrienols are the most interesting components of the unsaponifiable matter, even if their amount in crude oils varies greatly. The Codex Committee on Fats and Oils recently provided HPO the “dignity” of codified fat substance for human consumption and defined the physical and chemical parameters for genuine crude oils. However, only few researches have been conducted to date on the functional and technological properties of HPO, thus limiting its utilization in food industry. Recent studies on the nutritional effects of HPO softened the initial enthusiasm about the “tropical equivalent of olive oil”, suggesting that the overconsumption of HPO in the most-consumed processed foods should be carefully monitored.

  • "Menteri Besar Designate" Factor Will Boost Bn's Chances in Gerik
    20 NOV 1999 Tajol-MB "MENTERI BESAR DESIGNATE" FACTOR WILL BOOST BN'S CHANCES IN GERIK GERIK, Nov 20 (Bernama) -- There was much excitement at the nomination centre here for the Gerik Parliamentary and the three state seats within it, not only because of the straight fights but also among the candidates was someone who is likely to be Perak's next Chief Executive. When the Returning Officer announced that Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Seri Tajol Rosli Ghazali, 55, has been accepted as a candidate for the Kenering state at 1.15pm, there was loud applause from the crowd of 4,000 which believed that the Gerik MP since 1978 would be their new Menteri Besar. Gerik has 38,637 voters spread among three state constituencies of Pengkalan Hulu (14, 848 voters), Temenggor (11,879) and Kenering (11,910) and are known to be a BN stronghold where PAS and Keadilan are trying to sneak in. Tajol Rosli had won the Kenering seat and had been the assemblyman for nine months in 1977 after his father Tan Sri Ghazali Jawi vacated the seat and was named an ambassador. The soft-spoken Tajol Rosli insisted that he did not receive any indication from Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Mahathir about the Menteri Besar's post. Nevertheless the majority of the people in Gerik were confident that he would be the next Menteri Besar of Perak. "He has a clean record and is a moderate figure," said the BN candidate for Pengkalan Hulu, Ibrahim Mohamed Hanafiah. He said the "Menteri Besar Designate" factor would greatly help the BN campaign and there had been no personal attack against Tajol by the opposition.

Abstract Impact cratering is an abrupt, spectacular process that occurs on any world with a solid surface. On Earth, these craters are easily eroded or destroyed through endogenic processes. The Moon and Mercury, however, lack a significant atmosphere, meaning craters on these worlds remain intact longer, geologically. In this thesis, remote-sensing techniques were used to investigate impact melt emplacement about Mercury’s fresh, complex craters. For complex lunar craters, impact melt is preferentially ejected from the lowest rim elevation, implying topographic control. On Venus, impact melt is preferentially ejected downrange from the impact site, implying impactor-direction control. Mercury, despite its heavily-cratered surface, trends more like Venus than like the Moon.
