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 totalling 853,313 hectares which became plantation and settlement areas.
A total of 112,635 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
