Pursuing Balanced Regional Development III III PILLAR Pursuing Balanced Regional Development III 12-2 Introduction Regional development aims to reduce imbalances through better spread of socioeconomic benefits among regions and across all states to promote equitable growth and increase the wellbeing of the rakyat. Despite efforts to reduce regional imbalances, disparities between and within states and region remain, while urban and rural divide persists. Hence, in the remaining Plan period, 2018-2020, efforts will be undertaken to reduce development gaps between urban and rural areas. Among others, the efforts will include increasing accessibility and connectivity as well as improving basic infrastructure and amenities to generate more economic activities in the less developed areas. Interstate collaboration will also be enhanced to spur economic growth, particularly in bordering areas within the region through better utilisation of resources. Major cities and growth centres in rural areas will be leveraged to accelerate economic growth towards balanced regional development. In addition to balance regional development within national boundaries, subregional cooperation with neighbouring countries will also be intensified through the ASEAN subregional cooperation1. The socioeconomic development of less developed areas will be accelerated along international boundaries. This cooperation will promote synergy by optimising the underlying complementarities and comparative advantages among neighbouring countries. 1 ASEAN subregional cooperation includes the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle (IMT-GT), Brunei Darussalam-Indonesia-Malaysia-Philippines East ASEAN Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA), Malaysia-Thailand Committee on the Joint Development Strategy for Border Areas (JDS) and Malaysia-Singapore Joint Ministerial Committee for Iskandar Malaysia (JMCIM). Mid-Term Review of the Eleventh Malaysia Plan 12-2 Chapter 12: Pursuing Balanced Regional Development 12-3 New Priorities and Emphases, 2018-2020 Efforts in addressing regional imbalances will be intensified to narrow the socioeconomic development gap between regions and states to spur economic activities and uplift the wellbeing of the rakyat. In addressing regional imbalances, states are clustered based on geographical boundaries as follows: Perlis NORTHERN REGION SABAH REGION Kedah Pulau Pinang Kelantan Sabah Terengganu FT of Labuan Perak EASTERN REGION Pahang Selangor FT of Kuala Lumpur CENTRAL REGION FT of Putrajaya Negeri Sembilan Sarawak SARAWAK Melaka REGION Johor SOUTHERN REGION III 12-4 In achieving inclusive growth, measures will be undertaken to reduce development gaps between urban and rural areas. Therefore, the priority areas and strategies towards pursuing balanced regional development are as shown in Exhibit 12-1.

Four strategies the lowest GDP per capita at RM22,098, the Eastern region identified to support this priority area are as follows: at RM23,392 and the Northern region at RM29,725 in 2016. Moreover, higher poverty incidences in the Sabah and Sarawak regions also illustrate the socioeconomic imbalances. Although the Strengthening and absolute poverty rate in Sabah fell significantly from 19.7% in 2009 streamlining state and to 2.9% in 2016, it was still higher than the national average of regional development STRATEGY 0.4%. At district level, there were even incidences of double-digit planning to stimulate A1 poverty rate in Sabah, such as in Tongod at 14.6% and Beluran at economic development 12.1%.

  • The Depositional Environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic Red Beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and Its Bearing on Global Eustatic Sea Level Change
    Geological Society of Malaysia, Bulletin 48 June 2004, p. 65 - 72 The depositional environment of the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds at Hutan Aji, Perlis and its bearing on global eustatic sea level change MEOR HAKIF HASSAN & LEE CHAI PENG Geology Department, University of Malaya 50603 Kuala Lumpur Abstract: Late Devonian - Early Carboniferous red coloured mudstones and sandstones are widely distributed in northwest Peninsular Malaysia. A relatively complete and well preserved sequence is exposed at Bumita Quarry, Hutan Aji, Periis, and is described herein. The facies associations observed are indicative of a marine prodelta-delta front depositional environment for the Mid-Palaeozoic red beds. A thin (9m) black mudstone facies in the middle of the Bumita Quarry sequence may represent the Latest Devonian Hangenberg Anoxic Event. The occurrence of a Mid­ Palaeozoic orogeny is refuted. The major regression just after the global Hangenberg Event transgressive episode is proposed as the cause of the major, pre-Carboniferous paraconformity observed in mid-Palaeozoic successions of the Sibumasu/Shan-Thai Terrane.

Population census and age category character of Stump-tailed macaque, Macaca arctoides, in Northern Peninsular Malaysia. Biodiversitas 20: 2446-2452. Macaca arctoides is reported to be distributed only in the northern part of Malay Peninsula. Intensive scientific observations have never been carried out before on this neglected macaque in the northern range. Thus, in this article, an estimation of population data on the Malaysian stump-tailed macaques that were found in Wang Kelian forest areas in Perlis State Park, Malaysia is presented. Intensive field observations were conducted from Sept 2018 to January 2019 with scanning sampling.

  • The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please Tell Us More About King
    The Tak Bai Thai of Thailand “Please tell us more about King Ramkhamhaeng!” exclaimed Klahan. The Tak Bai Thai boy and his younger brother, Chit sat expectantly before Awut, their grandfather. Awut smiled as he started his second round of stories. His grandsons love a good story, and Awut certainly had a wealth of old folk tales, told to him as a boy by his own parents. The old Tak Bai Thai man knew that a day will come when his grandsons would be more interested in the Internet and computer games than listen to old folk tales. The Tak Bai Thai’s origins are linked to King Ramkhamhaeng of the ancient Thai kingdom of Sukhothai. This king extended the power of his kingdom from central Siam down south to the Malay Peninsula in the 13th century. To secure his foothold, he relocated thousands of his subjects along with their Buddhist faith into what is now northern Malaysia and southern Thailand. Today these people are called the Tak Bai Thai. While they mainly occupy Tak Bai District in Narathiwat Province, they also live in Pattani and Yala provinces. Their language is quite different from standard Thai and is described as a variant of the language of old Sukhothai. The 21,000 Tak Bai Thai live alongside their Muslim Pattani Malay neighbours. Both groups generally tolerate each other, though the ongoing insurgency by separatist Pattani Malay rebels has shaken the security of the Tak Bai Thai. The Tak Bai Thai are staunch Theravada Buddhists, having resisted the influence of Islam for centuries.

    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 5(9): 68-74, 2011 ISSN 1991-8178 Do Business Graduates’ Attributes Fulfill Industry Requirements and Expectations? 1Salina Daud, 2Noraina Mazuin Sapuan, 3Nurazariah Abidin and 4Jegatheesan Rajadurai 1,2,3Universiti Tenaga Nasional, College of Business Management and Accounting Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah Campus, Bandar Muadzam Shah, Pahang, Malaysia 4IKIP International College, Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia Abstract: Employers complain that graduates from Higher Education Institutions do not meet their expectations in today’s volatile economic environment and urge them to produce employable graduates who are able to compete and contribute to the current market. This study examines the perceived gap between important dimensions of graduate attributes and the actual performance of these graduates once employed. The study was carried out in two phases, namely Phase 1 which involved a focus group session and Phase 2 which focused on establishing a questionnaire appropriate for the study across a diverse range of industries. The questionnaires were distributed to managers selected from a list provided by the Higher Education Institution Alumni Centre. Graduates’ attributes were analyzed in terms of their knowledge, skills, abilities and personality. The results of this study indicate that managers attach different weightings to different aspects of the graduates’ performance and that the Higher Education Institution should target the improvement of soft skills and the development of specific personality components such as openness and extroversion personalities when developing their curriculum. The study highlights the practicality of importance-performance analysis as a means of assessing and directing ongoing human capital development efforts within the higher education sector.
