Government through JAKOA has introduced a few programmes to uplift the living standard of the indigenous people in Jalong Tinggi. Rubber, cocoa and banana plantation were introduced however, I was informed that only rubber is successful. Rubber Industry Smallholders Development Agency [RISDA] and Lembaga Getah Malaysia [LGM] have been assisting JAKOA to developed and convert the land successfully. Frequent visits, guides and monitoring from the 2 agencies help the 'Temiar' community a lot, unlike Lembaga Koko Malaysia [LKM].
planted rubber
LKM has trained the people, seeding and fertilizers provided, land developed but no monitoring, guides and visits after planting. The plants are left to the participants. Although these 'OA' attended the training, they still need further monitoring, guides and advise as this plant is new to them.
education hut for training, guidance and monitoring
I have experience with the JAKOA on fish project. I wrote to JAKOA and fishery department request training for the 'orang asal'. The actions from JAKOA is extremely prompt! Canvass, fish food and fishes arrived immediately! Without knowledge, experience, guides, advise and monitoring from the respective departments, all 2,000 fishes dead within 1 month! What's a waste of government fund!
YES! Is a waste but my sixth sense senses that somebody is making something out of it! Where's the integrity and responsibility?
