The Perak Development Experience: the Way Forward
International Journal of Academic Research in Business and Social Sciences December 2013, Vol. 3, No. 12 ISSN: 2222-6990 The Perak Development Experience: The Way Forward Azham Md. Ali Department of Accounting and Finance, Faculty of Management and Economics Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris DOI: 10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i12/437 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.6007/IJARBSS/v3-i12/437 Speech for the Menteri Besar of Perak the Right Honourable Dato’ Seri DiRaja Dr Zambry bin Abd Kadir to be delivered on the occasion of Pangkor International Development Dialogue (PIDD) 2012 I9-21 November 2012 at Impiana Hotel, Ipoh Perak Darul Ridzuan Brothers and Sisters, Allow me to briefly mention to you some of the more important stuff that we have implemented in the last couple of years before we move on to others areas including the one on “The Way Forward” which I think that you are most interested to hear about. Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas. -

The Spatial Configuration of Private Investments by Economic Actors in Perak
The spatial configuration of private investments by economic actors in Perak A consideration of centricity of the regional urban system of Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia) Luka Raaijmakers (6314554) Under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven Faculty of Geosciences Department of Human Geography and Planning Master’s degree in Economic Geography Specialisation in Regional Development & Policy November 2019 Page | 2 Acknowledgements This thesis is part of the joint research project on regional urban dynamics in Southern Perak (Peninsular Malaysia). The project is a collaboration between Utrecht University (The Netherlands) and Think City Sdn Bhd (Malaysia), under supervision of dr Leo van Grunsven and Matt Benson. I would like to thank dr Leo van Grunsven for his advice related to scientific subjects and his efforts to make us feel at home in Malaysia. Also, I would like to thank Matt Benson and Joel Goh and the other colleagues of Think City for the assistance in conducting research in – for me – uncharted territory. I would like to address other words of thanks to the Malaysian Investment Development Authority, Institut Darul Ridzuan and all other political bodies that have proven to be valuable as well as economic actors for their honesty and openness with regard to doing business in Malaysia/Perak. Finally, the fun part of writing a master’s thesis in Malaysia, apart from obviously living abroad on a vibrant island, was the part of doing research. This required a little creativity, some resilience and even more perseverance. This could not have been done without the other student members of the research team that took part in the collective effort of unravelling the urban system of Perak by using the knowledge we have gained in our years as academics. -
