I was glancing at the PM speech for Malaysian Project for NINTH MALAYSIA PLAN
2006-2010. It include some agricultural objectives involving the production of food. I quote a few objectives and we can review whether we had achieved those objectives...
1. Malaysia aims to become a net exporter of food by 2010.
2. To realise these objectives, RM 11.4 billion has been allocated for this sector; a 70 percent increase compared with the allocation in the Eighth Malaysia Plan. A large portion of the allocation will be for the development of infrastructure for irrigation and drainage, R&D, enhancing credit facilities and implementation of entrepreneur development programmes. Programmes to integrate and rationalise more than 100,000
hectares of land will be implemented, whereas more than 380,000 hectares of land will be replanted with rubber and oil palm. Other main projects include the creation of 28 Permanent Food Production Parks comprising a land area of almost 2,400 hectares,
a. an Agropolis at Serdang and National Food Terminals (TEMAN) at Ipoh and Kota Bharu.
b. We will also increase the development areas of oil palm clusters, livestock valleys, fruit valleys, quaculture parks and halal food parks.
Spurred from the Ninth Malaysia Plan, the National Feedlot Corporation (NFCorp) was created to be the centre of production for beef and beef products in Malaysia. This High Impact Project under Ninth Malaysia Plan,National Feedlot Centre project will be instrumental in attaining the 40% self sufficiency for beef production by 2015.

Have We Fulfill The Promise
When I went back for hari raya last weeks, my family was having a heated arguments about Malaysia progress record. Have we on track? or the politician are prompt to quote "we have meet our promise".
I noted the the arguments were characterized by emotion and Not Factual.
Non of Us had a clue about the DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVE and the MEASURES.
Let put it to test...
AA: Let us review the New Economic Policy.. program launched by the Malaysian government in 1971 under the then Prime Minister Tun Abdul Razak. The NEP ended in 1990,
The GOALS..The Reid Commission stated that the intent of Article 153 was to address economic inequality among ethnic Chinese and Malays. In the period following Malaysian independence, however, the Bumiputra share of the economy did not substantially increase; as late as 1970, it was estimated that Bumiputras held only 2.4% of the economy, with the rest in Chinese and foreign hands
THE TARGET .. to achieve the 30% Bumiputra equity target set by the NEP. Amongst these was a requirement that all initial public offerings (IPOs) set aside a 30% share for Bumiputra investors. These investors could be selected by the company being listed on the stock exchange, or the Ministry of International Trade and Industry, which would normally recommend such state-owned trust agencies as Permodalan Nasional or the Armed Forces pension fund.
THE 9 MALAYSIAN PLAN.
The ECER was launched by Malaysia's Prime Minister, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi in Kuala Terengganu and Kota Bahru on October 30, 2007 and in Kuantan the next day. During the launch of the project, the Prime Minister announced a RM 6 billion allocation for the opening phase of the project, strengthening the Malaysian government's commitment to the project

Malaysian Unsystematic Sytems
ETP
The Economic Transformation Programme (ETP) is a comprehensive effort that will transform Malaysia into a high-income nation by 2020.
It will lift Malaysia's gross national income (GNI) per capita from USD6,700 or RM23,700 in 2009 to more than USD15,000 or RM48,000 in 2020, propelling the nation to the level of other high income nations. This GNI growth of six per cent per annum will allow us to achieve the targets set under Vision 2020.
