Federal Land Development Authority (FELDA) was established on 1st July 1956 under the Land Development Act 1956. The Authority is managed by a board responsible to the Deputy Prime Minister.
Federal Land Development Authority, better known as FELDA is the foremost land development agency in Malaysia. FELDA was established on 1st July 1956 under the Land Development Act 1956 as a result of recommendation of Government Working Committee.
FELDA was established with the purpose to help the government carried out rural land development schemes and to uplift the economic status as well as living standard of the rural community.
Originally, FELDA was functioning as a board to manage and channel financial aids to the state Government to carry out land development schemes in the respective states besides coordinating land development in these states which include the movement of population within the states.
Later FELDA's function was enlarged by the government and from 1961 FELDA was entrusted to carry out on its own development and settlement schemes throughout the country.
Todate, FELDA has developed approximately 480 new areas totaling 853,313 hectares which became plantation and settlement areas. A total of 104,946 people were chosen as settlers from among the rural poor and landless community.
Together with their families, they were resettled in the new settlement. Land development and settlement in the rural areas has now brought economic and social development as well as political stability to the country.
Through land development and settlement, FELDA has uplifted the living standard of the rural community as well as narrowing the gap in the quality of the life between the urban and rural population.

Kuala Lumpur's story dates back to the 1820's when Malays, mainly Sumatrans crossed the Straits of Melaka to conquer the thick virgin jungle in search of a new life. They paddled up the Klang River and settled on the upper reaches of the river. We hear of such early Malay settlements in areas like Petaling about 17km from the city centre and a village called Kampung Haji Abdullah Hukum close to Jalan Bangsar about 12km from the city centre. These early settlers supplemented their meagre earnings from paddy and panning for tin at streams nearby. Raja Abdullah, the Malay Chief governing almost the entire Klang Valley at the time had been eyeing for a part of the small but profitable income the villagers received from panning tin in the rivers. In 1857 he made a shrewd decision to send a party of 87 Chinese miners upriver from Klang to prospect for tin in the upper valley. It took them 3 days of river travel during the rainy season to get to Kuala Lumpur. If attempted during the dry season, the journey would have taken 10 to 15 days, with many occasions dragging boats over sandbanks or shallow waters. The miners and labourers disembarked and continued on foot to their destination from the confluence of Klang River and Gombak River where the water was too shallow to continue by boat. The going was tough - the intrepid travellers waded waist deep in swampy waters and were constantly tormented by mosquitoes and leeches. They headed towards the east to prospect at Ampang, which was reported to be rich in tin deposits. Being in unfamiliar territories, the head of the group engaged the expertise of a local magician or 'pawang' as known in Malay, to locate areas for mining. The pawang was thought to have favourable connections with the spirits of the jungle and was also very familiar with the terrain in the area. Once an area was located, a fee was further negotiated with the pawang for his consultation on ways to appease the local spirits to ensure that their progress in the area would not be hindered. However, things weren't as easy as they thought it to be. Clearing the jungle around the mine brought an epidemic that killed many of the miners. Mosquitoes began to breed in large numbers, bringing with them malaria. Within the year, only 18 of the 87 miners survived. Yet upon hearing of the riches to be found here, more immigrants were sent to replace the fallen and soon a bustling trade bloomed. The Klang-Gombak junction, close to where Masjid Jamek is now situated, was the point for loading tin ingots and unloading of food supplies, weapons, shovels, pans, and more immigrants to man the mines. Persuaded by a local Malay chief, two pioneer Chinese traders of Hakka descent, Hiu Siew and Ah Sze set up their sundry shop at the confluence. Some regard these 2 traders as founders of KL others lean towards Raja Abdullah. The shop was strategically located on the right hand side of the Klang River facing upstream, to catch the miners before they made their way up the jungle tracks to the various mining areas. It is not clear how the name Kuala Lumpur came about. Theories abound. 'Kuala' means estuary or confluence and in Malay usage, the name of the river or tributary that ends at this point should follow. Which means that this place should have been named Kuala Gombak but it wasn't. 'Lumpur' which means 'mud' could have been chosen because of the condition of the river. Another theory was that there used to be a tributary called Sungei Lumpur, which joined with the Gombak River just before the confluence. One thing is for sure.the significance of these waterways, the lifelines of a land can not be understated. The rivers gave Kuala Lumpur life and helped nurture the town from a mere seedling to a bustling Metropolis. It's unfortunate that by nature of development, rivers that had once been the epicentre of a growing township are now reduced to mere aesthetic swatches in this canvas of modernity. (And to some- just a large sewage system!)

With nine branches of which three are in Kajang, five along the highways (2 in KESAS, 2 in ELITE, and 1 in PLUS) and the other one in Bangi; Satay Kajang Hj. Samuri has achieved the positioning status of the satay market in Malaysia.
The long famous family oriented business has gained the trust and loyalty of satay eaters in town and nationwide. Its variety of meat to choose from, reasonable pricing, fast service, similar taste, efficient operations, are key ingredients to its success.
Today, this family business has given fame to the Kajang town which is otherwise infamous for its nasty traffic congestion. Its success has gone unnoticed by the envied competitors or probably foes to the family when the business was once (or probably few occasion) under 'attack' of bad publicity through nasty e-mails accusing its bad state of hygiene, recipes, and operations.
Cooked by charcoal, served with a plate of nasi impit that came with cucumber (that I learns today that the cucumber purpose is to neutralize the carbon effect on the meat) and dipped into the delicious peanut sauce, it was a one wonderful experience. Although it has variety of menu from chicken, beef, tripe, liver, mutton, to venison, we opted for 15 sticks of chicken and 5 beef. To go with the food, try ordered a glass of soy drink. Very healthy!
So, for the "Untuk Rasa Kajang Yang Sebenar", Haji Samuri and sons give you more than that. They give you the truly sate experience, not just the taste. Happy Eating!
The Weekend Mail gave detailed descriptions of favorite sex positions from its survey including spooning, galloping and tea bag positions in three pages of stories that delivered on its front-page promise: You'll be shocked.
I received endless calls and SMS over the articles, Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak told a ruling-party meeting Sunday. The media going overboard in exploiting sex will only worsen
our social problems, he was quoted as saying by the New Straits Times, a pro-government daily in the same stable as the Mail.
Having to ponder on this very subject that has been left to run riot in the Western civilisation and as a result made waste with something as precious and as honourable as a matter of lovemaking between a husband and a wife but now turned into something cheap and tasteless as animal lust and as a pastime for those who have been enamoured with the liberalisms of the decadent lifestyles rampaging in the West!

Setakat ni harga emas memang dah naik - RM72 per gm! Kalau sesiapa yang ada emas sekarang simpan2 le. Tapi pernah dengar emas kat kedai sekarang pun dah dicampur dengan perak. Tak tau ke betul ke tidak!
Fasal financial planning , org kata duit boleh simpan sampai 2nd & 3rd generation. Aku ragu2 sikit sbb apa yg aku tahu, pakar2 ekonomi dunia meramalkan akan berlaku krisis ekonomi yg teruk yg boleh hancurkan ekonomi kapitalis.
(mereka bukan Tuhan tapi sekurang-kurangnya mereka ada fakta yg kukuh untuk sokong pendapat mereka. Pakar ekonomi Islam yg merujuk kepada Al-Quran dan hadis juga mengesahkan perkara ini pasti akan terjadi)
Bila ekonomi kapitalis collapse, kita tak boleh ambik duit dlm bank. Aku dengar ceramah Mr Matthias Chiang, bekas penasihat politik Tun Dr M. Dia kata ni pasti jadi dlm masa terdekat, 5 thn, tapi perkara ni tak mungkin dicakap dalam perhimpunan agung Umno. Dia ni Christian Katolik yg anti-Zionis. Dia kemukakan bukti berupa kenyataan2 oleh penasihat2
Bush, professor di Havard dan Oxford, org2 kuat IMF, Bank Dunia dan segala sifu zionis. Mereka kata system ekonomi kapitalis akan collapse, keadaan dunia akan jadi lebih teruk daripada krisis ekonomi dunia 1930's. Mamat ni masih close dgn Tun Dr M dan tulis buku tajuk "FUTURE FASTFOWARD".
Aku juga jumpa Umar Vadillo yg terkenal di peringkat dunia kerana mengkaji system kapitalis. Aku pernah wawancara dia di Hotel Prince, KL masa dia dtg nak jumpa Tun Dr M. Dia kata system kapitalis memang dah nak hancur tak lama lagi. Jadi org sekarang beli duit emas yg dikeluarkan oleh syktnya beribupejabat di Dubai dan ada cawangan di Labuan. Dia kata kat aku, org Malaysia yang paling byk simpan duit emas dalam akaun syarikat dia ialah Dr M dan Pak Lah. Maknanya Dr M dan Pak Lah memang well prepared untuk hadapi kehancuran system kapitalis.
Seorang professor ekonomi di UIA, Prof Kamil ada tulis buku pasal masalah duit kertas dan duit dalam bentuk angka ni (duit elektronik). Dia kata duit dalam bentuk angka tu sebenarnya tak wujud pun dlm bank. Duit kertas yg kita simpan bawah bantal atau tabung di rumah pulak akan menyusut dan menyusut dengan teruk sekali nanti. RM1,000 hari ni tak boleh beli apa pun di masa depan.
Terkejut aku baca penerangan dia pasal "money creation" oleh bank. Masalahnya, cerita pasal ni tak keluar pun dalam akhbar arus perdana Malaysia (i.e. berita harian, utusan, star, nst. Akhbar kita hanya memetik sebijik2 laporan CNN, BBC, CNBC, Reauters yang sebenarnya tak betul tu).
Sekarang, ekonomi sudah teruk. Nak tahu teruk atau tidak, jangan tengok CNN, CNBC, Reuters dan sebagainya. Media macam ni tak akan cakap perkara yg benar. Tapi bacalah akhbar2 eksklusif utk geng2 Zionis spt Herald, Weekly Commentator, JerusalemPost etc.
Akhbar ni boleh di access via internet. Media mcm ni dibaca oleh sifu-sifu zionis. Aku kemudian buat research sikit2 pasal money meltdown melalui internet. Lepas tu, aku buat research pasal kekayaan dalam Islam. Aku dapat tahu kekayaan sebenar ialah :-
Folders - You can organize your tasks into different folders or projects. For example, you could have a folder for work related tasks, one for home projects and another for your hobby. You can have unlimited tasks and unlimited folders.
Due-dates - Set a due-date for a task and we'll remind you when the deadline is approaching. You can also have tasks that repeat once you finish them.
Priority - Some tasks are more important than others. With priorities, you can better sort and organize your tasks.
Time Tracking - You can keep track of estimated and actual time spent on any project. Estimated time can help you prioritize better and find small tasks to fill in little chunks of free time. Actual time can be used for billing purposes or in making yourself more efficient.
Notes - You can attach lengthy notes to any task, so you can keep track of important information.
Tags - Add tags or keywords to help describe the task. This can be used to keep track of the state or progress of a task. Or use it for your own organization scheme.
Calendar - The calendar will give you a visual representation of when your tasks are due.
Collaboration - You can easily share your to-do lists with coworkers, friends, family or anyone else. You have complete control over who has permission to read or modify your to-do list.
Import / Export - It's your data, so you should be able to take it with you. You can import and export your tasks in a variety of formats, including RSS, XML and iCal.
Customization - Easily hide fields that you don't use or disable functionality that you don't like.If you are looking for a legitimate work from home job, consider Web Site Design. The beauty of this business is that it requires low start up costs. The only office equipment you would need would be a good computer, an Internet connection and website design software. The web design software I recommend are Macromedia Dreamweaver (html editor) and Macromedia Fireworks (graphics editor). Microsoft Front Page and Adobe Photoshop are also excellent choices. If you lack web site design skills, don't fret. The Internet is jam packed with free tutorials and advice on everything you would need to know about web site design and development. You would only be limited by your desire to learn. You can also purchase professional website templates to give you a jump start on designing web sites for your customers.
That being said, web site design is a very exciting field to be in. The technology rapidly changes so there is always something new and exciting to learn, it's a great outlet to release your creativity, you can make a lot of money quickly, and the best reason of all is that you can work from any location including at home in your PJs.
Given all of these reasons, many people wonder how to get started designing web sites for profit. As I said before, it takes very little money to start a successful online business. Once you learn how to design professional web sites (or use web templates), your only obstacle will be to market your business and win jobs. Sounds easy, but it's not. There are many web site development firms out there who never win bids on projects. You could search the Internet for advice on winning web site design jobs. You can search for advice from business owners who are out there running successful web site design companies. This is a good approach but it does take time.
Even though I’m not into any HYIP programs since few years back, but I love to write the things that I know, at least for the sharing spirit and learning purposes.
Almost all tips below are not new to the old-timer HYIP investors. But for those of you who are clueless about this, it’s time for a read;

- For Benton, a 31-year-old graduate student, the bedbugs sparked a seven-month battle that included bug bombs and the tossing out of his and his fiancee's bedroom furniture.
They gave up and moved out of their apartment in New York and eventually moved back to their native Memphis, Tenn. Benton said the bugs essentially drove them out of New York because they couldn't sleep knowing the bugs may be anywhere.
"The main part of it is psychological trauma that they create because of the idea that they are feeding on you at night," Benton said. "It's still hard to talk about if it's anywhere near bedtime." -
