Abstract
The success of the FELDA land settlement model continues into the 1980s. It contains provisions for the devolution of management power to the settlers in the form of Scheme Development Councils which promise in time to meet the fourth stage of Scudder's settlement model, the handing over of schemes to the settlers. However, the changeover from individual land titles to a share system of ownership may bring settler grievances. In addition, transition to the second generation of settlers and the costly replanting of the main crop have served to divert attention away from the ideal of self-reliance and self-management on the mature schemes. An ultimate gauge of FELDA's success will be the successful transfer of its approach to land settlement in other Third World countries, an early test of which will be the extension of the model to the East Malaysian state of Sabah where different sociocultural conditions may lead to modifications.
