Abstract

[The Federation of Malaysia comprises the 11 states of Peninsular Malaysia (hereafter called “the Peninsula”) and the two Borneo states of Sabah and Sarawak. The Peninsula is the most populous and developed part of Malaysia; in 2000, close to 80 percent of the country’s total population of about 23 million lived there. Although export-oriented manufacturing has propelled Malaysia “from being merely a high-growth economy to becoming one of the world’s most outstanding economic performers” (Brookfield 1994, v), the exploitation of natural resources—lands, forests, minerals—has fuelled much of the country’s economic success.]
