Message by the Right Honorable Chief Minister of Sarawak
The elevation of Betong District to a Divisional status on 26th March 2002 reflects the
government’s sincere efforts in looking after the welfare and interests of the people, hence
improving their economics and living standards.
Most parts of Betong Division had experienced development and progress over a
decade. Areas without roads, electricity and treated water supply for instance had indeed
enjoyed these facilities. This was made possible due to concerted efforts by government
leaders and the people who shared the common vision of bringing Betong Division into a
transformational era that would bring along significant and changes in the economics and
social landscape.
Numerous development agenda are underway and in the pipeline to better serves
the people of Betong Division. Being a rural Division emphasis are in the area of land and
rural development, agricultural and agro based industries, marine fisheries, infrastructures,
communication and utilities development, tourism, quality of life, human capital development
and commercial development. Despite being new, I am confident that Betong Division will
prosper well together with the rest of the Divisions in the state.
I am happy to note that some of these areas have shown positive progress while the
rest are progressing well. This success is made possible given a strong fundamentals
coupled with the dedication and commitment of the administrative team in Betong Division.
As I always mentioned “one of the most important things that must be instilled in the people,
who are involved in running the administration of the government, is the feeling of love for
the state and care of the people”. I am proud that all of you have professed this principle.
For that, I would like to congratulate all of you.

Message by the Honorable State Secretary of Sarawak
One of the key strategic factors in ensuring the success of economic and social development
is through an effective and efficient public administration. Thus, the creation of Betong
Division in 2002 is a wise decision made by the State Government as we could focus our
development efforts to transform Betong Division into a vibrant regional economic
development area in the State. Indeed, the concerted development efforts undertaken by the
State Government has resulted in a tremendous socio-economic development in the
Division.
The publication of the Betong Divisional Economics Report 2011 in conjunction with
the 10 Anniversary of Betong being created as a Division is very timely to showcase the
various socio-economic achievements in the Betong Division. Undeniably, all the
development efforts made by the Government to bring in the development into Betong
Division have created vast economic opportunities to the communities especially in the rural
and remote areas.
th
Despite the commendable success, we should not rest on our laurels. This is
because there are many challenges ahead in our journey towards achieving a high income
and developed State by 2020. In this respect, the roles of Divisional and District Offices in
economic and social development are even more critical due to the high expectations and
demand of the stakeholders.
Therefore, it is mandatory for frontline officers at the Divisional and District levels to
fully equip themselves with the relevant skills and knowledge in order to successfully perform
their roles and responsibilities to our customer satisfaction and delight. More importantly, as
agents of change, the officers must be able to articulate and implement the Government
policies effectively and efficiently so as to bring the rakyat into the mainstream of the State
Government development agenda and aspirations.
Last but not least, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the Resident
and his team for their initiative and hard work in preparing and publishing the Betong
Divisional Economics Report.
Thank you.

Resident’s Review
Over the last decade I have observed and witnessed how Betong has grown from a
moderate district into one of the most progressive Divisions in the State. In regard to this, I
would like to take this opportunity to thank all government officers and staff in every
department and agency (State & Federal) be it at the divisional level or state level including
private organisations for their consistent commitment and untiring effort in making the
divisional transformation process a great success over the years.
The elevation of Betong into a full-pledged divisional status in March 2002 has
undoubtedly brought in more development. At the same time, this also means we need to
walk the extra mile to ensure all development proposals are completed according to the
schedules. To ensure a sustainable socio-economic growth in the Division, the State
Planning Unit of the Sarawak Government has carried out the Sri Aman-Betong: Urban &
Regional Study in 2009 to identify development issues within the Division. Following this, the
Betong Sub-Regional Development Plan and the Divisional Strategic Development Plan
were formulated to cover 7 key strategic thrusts of the Division. The strategic development
and initiative covers land and rural sector, agricultural and agro-based industries, marine
fisheries, infrastructures, communication and utilities, human capital development, tourism
and quality of life. In pursuing our vision, mission and strategic goals, we do encounter some
constraints and challenges. Despite this, Betong has achieved a remarkable socio-economic
performance since 2002.
Building on its natural resources and the future strategic development plan as well as
the rise of various development initiatives under the Sarawak Corridor of Renewable Energy
(SCORE), Betong aspire to achieve a well developed and high income divisional status by
2020.
In pursuit of this, Betong will continue to work closely with various State and Federal
government agencies through continuous strategic partnership and innovative approaches to
make the Division a more competitive environment for businesses and a preferred place for
various communities and stakeholders to live in.

I am pleased to incorporate the progress of the Division in the Economic Report
2011. This is the first edition of the report and I hope you will find it useful and beneficial.
Thank you.

Resident Betong
Overview of the report
While growth in advanced economies remains slow, Malaysia continues to
experience a plausible economic growth over the years due to steady domestic demand and
strong export performance. The successful implementation of various Economic Plans and
the introduction of the New Economic Model (NEM) aimed to position the country as a
developed and high income economy have led to implementation of various development
projects throughout the nation including in Betong Division, Sarawak.
The elevation of Betong into a full-pledged divisional status in March 2002 has
furthered strategically brought in rapid development and infrastructure transformation
particularly in terms of land use for commercial agriculture development, establishment of
several government offices and educational/training related institutions, setting up of new
commercial buildings and service centres as well as the construction of new roads and other
basic amenities in various districts and villages. Despite the various challenges faced in
carrying out those development plans, the Division has emerged as one of the most
progressive divisions in the State in all economics sectors.
The goal of this report is to provide a brief economic achievement for and forecast
Betong Division as the newest administrative division in Sarawak. The report also provide
some insights on the government initiatives to further develop the Division. This report
covers 7 strategic thrusts of the Division; land and rural sector, agricultural and agro-based
industries, marine fisheries and aquaculture, infrastructures, communication and utilities
sector, human capital development, tourism sector and quality of life.
Building on previous development plans, the Division has recorded a remarkable
development performance over the years. However, to expedite the development and
transformation process, a strategic development plan has been formulated to ensure Betong
will become a fully developed Division through sustainable investment initiatives by the year
2020.
However, given the constraint in terms of data one should exercise caution when
interpreting the information presented in the report.

In the review period, the total revenue collected (Majlis Daerah Betong, RM 34 million;
Majlis Daerah Saratok, RM 68 million) from various sources such as rates, fees, interest,
licenses, and other collections was RM102 million. On the other hand, the Sri Aman –
Betong urban and regional study (2009) revealed that the Division recorded an annual GDP
growth between 7% to 9.5%, averaging at 7.5% (2000-2006). This was contributed by the
sudden flux of construction activities in the area. Given the various development projects
between 2010 and 2020, a higher GDP has been estimated between 5.1% to 8.5%, giving
an average of approximately 7.1%.
12
The study suggest that in order to accelerate the development process under the
Tenth Malaysia Plan, the projected normal GDP and GDP with proposed projects for 2015 is
estimated to be around RM526.8 million and RM657.8 million respectively. However, by the
year 2020, a higher normal GDP of RM647.8 million and GDP with proposed projects of
RM814.1 million have been targeted.

Land & Agriculture Development
“the strategic goal is to
increase land utilization
and restructuring of the
rural traditional
economy through
commercial plantations
and modernization of
agriculture”
Under the land and rural development thrusts,
the strategic goal is to increase land utilization and
restructuring of the rural traditional economy through
commercial plantations
and modernization of
agriculture. This is supported by the agricultural and
agro-based industries development thrust with an aim to increase agriculture productivity
through continuous research and development initiatives.
To achieve these goals, the Division has outlined several potential projects to be
developed and implemented. The commercial plantation initiatives include agriculture
activities such as oil palm plantation utilizing the Native Customary Rights land and the State
land, agro-forestry production, cultivations, and herbal farming. In order to improve the
livelihood of the rural community through modern farming, several rural agriculture activities
such as oil palm for small holdings, rice production, pepper cultivation and rubber
plantation/estate have been included as part of the strategic development plans of the
Division.
To spearhead the land and agriculture development initiatives over the 10-year
period (2002-2011), a total of RM296 million was incurred on various agricultural activities in
Betong (Government Agencies in Betong, 2012). To-date, agricultural area is the largest
‘land use’ category accounting for 331, 010 ha or 79.2% of total land area in Betong. Of this,
traditional agriculture area occupies approximately 258,280 ha or 61.8% in terms of
‘agricultural land use’. Oil palm estate and oil palm and other crops accounting for 14.4%
and 0.8% respectively, while DID scheme for paddy plantation at 2.0% (State Planning Unit,
2009).
14
To ensure further development, a total of 885, 7058 hectares of lands costing RM28
million have been acquired (Land & Survey Betong, 2011a). In pursuit of rural development
and effective management of NCR lands in the Division, the government through the
Department of Land & Survey has also undertaken NCR perimeter survey in Betong. Started
with 19 NCR land owners covering a total area of 1,101.80 hectares in 2010, to-date the
perimeter survey has benefited a total of 979 land owners covering 25,327.81 hectares of
NCR lands in the Division. A total of RM944,534 was incurred under the initiative (Land &
Survey Betong, 2011b).
On the other hand, the collection from land rent since 2005 to 2011 worth RM15
million was collected, while annual rent amount to RM4 million was received (Betong District
Council, 2011). Table 1 below depicts the amount incurred by each of the agriculture
development initiatives in the Division.

Rubber Mini Estates (RME) were introduced in Betong in 1996 and to date there are
80 RME with a total hectarage of 1,002. Out of RME models pioneered in Betong small
holders participants has been proven to be successful. Among them were more than 4 ha
small holders high yielding rubber enjoying sustainable income of RM3,000.00 or more per
month.
There are a few exceptional cases where a family owned more than 10 ha of high
yielding smallholder’s rubber estate. They have realized family income of >RM20,000.00 per
month. Arising from the successful model pioneered in Betong District, the Poverty
Eradication Program (NKEA) is modeled on the success of a 4 ha per family of high yielding
rubber. This is actively implemented throughout Sarawak.
Under Lonjakan Mega Agropolitan Project, a poverty eradication program an area of
6,949Ha natives customary land has been approved for planting high yielding rubber by the
government to be implemented by RISDA. The project had started in 2012 and currently 200
ha has been surveyed and will benefit many low income land owners / farmers in Awik,
Saratok.
In addition, due to the high demand on palm oil in the world market, the Government
also encourages more lands to be developed for oil palm plantation and this initiative
represents about 13% of the overall expenditure of the sector in the Division. Of this, RM35
million was incurred by SALCRA with planted areas of 2,847 hectares. Started with
production of 128,181 tonnes in terms of first fruit bunch (FFB) in 2002, the Division has
produced 329,041 tonnes in 2011, an increase by 157% in terms of FFB production
(Malaysian Palm Oil Board, 2011).

To ensure sustainability of rice production, the Government has also incurred RM36
million in terms of subsidies on 10,607 hectares that yielded an average of 26,717 metric
tonnes over the review period. An area of 3,079Ha has been approved for double cropping
paddy production (Security Crop) in the Seblak / Kabong area. On the other hand, to
supplement the fruit planting initiative by the Department of Agriculture Betong, the role of
the IADA Kalaka-Saribas remained important to the growth of fruit production in the Division
and beyond. This initiative consumed 9% of the development expenditure. Under RMK-9,
IADA agriculture project has generated sufficient income for the participants on an average
of RM1,921 per month. To-date, a total of 2,934 participants are involved with the scheme
which produced 2,926.40 metric tonnes of various fruits (IADA Kalaka-Saribas, 2011).
In addition, pepper plantation and maintenance in the Division represents 8% of the
agriculture development costs. From 2007 to 2011, farmers in the Division has produced
20,254 metric tonnes of pepper worth approximately RM324 million.

Marine Fisheries & Aquaculture Development
“The sector also provided direct
employment to fishermen and fish
culturists in the Division”
The fisheries sector continues to play an important role in providing fish as a source
of food and protein. The sector also provided direct employment to fishermen and fish
culturists in the Division. Recognising this, the strategic goal of the Division is to increase
catches and landings of marine resources through modern fishing methods and provision of
adequate facilities for development of related downstream fisheries industries.
According to the statistic from the Department of Marine Fisheries Sarawak, the
amount of catches landed in Betong Division has increased steadily from 3,143 metric
tonnes in 2008 to 5,996 metric tonnes in 2010. Due to large potential of the marine captured
fisheries the government has allocated a total of RM3 million under RMK-10 to develop the
marine fisheries sector in the Division. Of this, RM2 million was allocated to the Fisheries
Development Authority of Malaysia (LKIM) to construct a fish landing complex in Beladin,
while a total of RM1 million was channeled to the Department of Agriculture to construct the
aquaculture infrastructure within the industrial zone in Beladin. To-date, a total of
RM308,956 was incurred by the LKIM on the complex .
On the other hand, the potential of aquaculture sector in the Division has also
attracted careful planning and serious efforts from the government through the participation
of the private sectors. Given the brackish water in places such as Kabong and Beladin for
instance, these areas have been chosen for the development of marine shrimp species.
Therefore, to ensure a sustainable supply of freshwater fish within the Division, the Inland
Fisheries project in Betong will focus on the freshwater fish ponds in Saratok District.
During the review period, the construction of a complex in Beladin is on-going, while
the proposed aquaculture infrastructure in the area was completed within the proposed
schedule. At the same time, another two projects which are still on-going include the
proposed development of the brackish aquaculture in Kabong and Beladin areas between a
private investor and the Sarawak Economic Development Corporation and the freshwater
aquaculture project by the Agriculture Department in Saratok (State Planning Unit, 2009).
To ensure sustainability of the sector, Government will continue to step up its effort to
assist local fishermen by providing proper infrastructure and through systematic programmes
and assistances and at the same time to carry out relevant research and development
initiatives related to the marine industry in the Division.

Infrastructure, Utilities & Communication Development
“the strategic goal of the Division is to provide
more accessibility's that will enhance the
opening-up of more rural areas for economic
and social developments”
Transportation
A superior transportation system that meets the needs of the people is another
characteristic of a developed nation. In line with this, the strategic goal of the Division is to
provide accessibility's that will enhance the opening-up of more rural areas for economics
and social developments.
In addition to the riverine transport which is still important in connecting several
remote villages in the Division, currently, the transport network in Betong Division comprises
of trunk road as main transport spine, feeder roads as secondary distributor and rural/other
roads as access links to settlements and villages. Adding to the completion of the PusaSessang and the upgrading of Betong-Saratok roads, the government has also undertaken
road improvement initiative in various districts and villages within the Division. During the
review period, a total of 695km were constructed since 2009. Of this, 401km are fully paved
while 248 km remained unpaved (JKR Betong, 2011). Since RMK-8 to RMK-10, a total of
RM797 million was incurred for road construction in the Division (see Table 3) (Development

21
In the new future, the Penom-Pakan road (28KM) and the Sri Aman-Betong (from
Jongkong – Jugir road (20.8KM) will also be constructed. Given the future development in
Betong, a plan to establish another dedicated transport terminal in Saratok will also be
carried out.
Water Supply
To ensure the sustainability of water supply within the Division, adequate and
quality water supply is crucial. To-date, a total of 18,138 of water meters are connected to
households in the Division from the completion of various water supply projects costing
about RM 183 million (see Table 3)(Development Unit-Resident's Office Betong, 2012). Of
this 10,175 of water meters are connected to households in Betong and 7,963 are
connected to households in Saratok respectively (JKR Betong, 2011).
Therefore, with the completion of several new water supply projects, a total of 20,746
households in the Division are expected to benefit from it.
Currently, treated water supply in the Division comes from the following plants:

supply at Kaki Wong Sungai Krian, Saratok.
Sewerage
In terms of sewerage system, the Division has two main sewerage management
practices i.e., on site sewerage treatment or communal multi-point systems. From the report,
only 10% of the existing developments in Betong are served by connected sewerage
system, 38% served by individual septic tanks (ISTS) and the rest are either served by
private, pour flush or other system. Given this and an increase of total population in Betong
by approximately 40,000 by 2030, a centralized sewerage system that will reduce the
number of decentralized system is recommended (State Planning Unit, 2009).
The population growth of Betong Division was forecasted to increase by 40,000 in
2030. According to the study conducted in 2007, domestic waste generated approximately
81 tonnes per day. By the year 2030, the projected waste generated by the Division will be
around 175 tonnes a day. In view of the substantial amount of waste to be generated every
year, allocation of new sites for setting up of sanitary landfill and the setting up of collection
centres need urgent attention.
“DID has proposed various
drainage improvement
works in the Division”
Low-lying areas in Betong Division particularly Saribas have also caused great concern
among the locals because these areas tend to suffer from frequent both regional and flashflooding due to the king tide coinciding with intermittent / heavy downpour as well as
inadequate capacity of existing drainage system. Given this, the Drainage & Irrigation (DID)
has undertaken proactive roles to establish well-planned and efficient drainage and flood
mitigation infrastructure / system within Betong. Apart from this, DID also provide suitable
land for agricultural development with proper drainage and irrigation system for the benefit of
thousand of farmers in rural and coastal areas in Betong Division with the implementation of
several projects namely, amongst other:
i. Sungai Sebelak Irrigation Scheme, Roban and
ii. Bungin Drainage Scheme, Spaoh.

23
Since RMK-8 to RMK-10, a total of RM102,897,245 was incurred on the development
(see Table 3) (Development Unit-Resident's Office Betong, 2012).
Construction and Completion of
Bungin Drainage Scheme
The population growth of Betong Division was forecasted to increase by 40,000 in
2030. According to the study conducted in 2007, domestic waste generated approximately
81 tonnes per day. By the year 2030, the projected waste generated by the Division will be
around 175 tonnes a day. In view of the substantial amount of waste to be generated every
year, allocation of new sites for setting up of sanitary landfill and the setting up of collection
centres need urgent attention.
Electricity
“Betong will not face short
supply of power up to
2020”
In terms of electricity supply,
currently, Betong Division is powered by
twenty substations located along the main trunk road. These substations were installed with
transformer capacity of 21.475 MVA (17.18 MW) with loading of 9.277MVA (7.42 MV).
Based on domestic households and commercial usage, the maximum demand of electricity
was 13.0MW in 2007. Therefore, Betong will not face short supply of power up to 2020.
However, given the projected population of 191,900 the demand for power is expected to
increase to 20.0 MW by the year 2030 (State Planning Unit, 2009).Therefore, there is a need
to have additional extra high voltage in addition to medium voltage distribution network to the
load centres. In the effort to electrifying rural areas, a total of 88 long houses have benefited
from the initiative. At the same time, the Government will also consider to regroup the rural
communities into small townships. Nonetheless, a short term measure such as providing of
generator set, diesel power station, mini-hydro power station and solar system remain one of
the best solutions for rural communities in the State.
24

Telecommunication
Since its elevation as a new administrative centre in
Sarawak, Betong needs to put in place the future
telecommunication infrastructure that is modern and
reliable. Currently, Betong has 10,456 lines. Given the
projected demand for telephone lines which will increase
according to the projected population, a total of 35,600
lines are needed by the year 2030. Hence, there is a need
to expand the existing telephone exchange capacity
underground and overhead networks to cater for future
demand. At the same time, there is a need to replace all
overhead line for distribution within Betong business
centres to underground cables in manholes and ducting.

Human Resource Development
Betong’s Educational Precinct
“the Government has
placed strong emphasis
on human capital
development through
various educational
programmes
and training initiatives
over the years”
Human intellectual capital has become the defining factor in sustaining the
performance and competitiveness of any nation. Indeed, the fast pace of innovation due to
globalized economy demands new expertise and skills. In this environment, the creation of a
substantial pool of talent is indispensable for the future growth of the Division. In this regard,
the Government placed strong emphasis on human capital development through various
educational programmes and training initiatives over the years. In line with this, the Division
will continue to provide adequate and appropriate human resource development
infrastructures/facilities and programmes in order to upgrade the level of competencies of
the workforce required in the various sectors in the near future.
In pursuing this, several learning and training centres and/or institutions such as
Sekolah Menengah Vokasional Betong, Pusat Giat Mara (Betong & Saratok), Kolej Komuniti
and Maktab Rendah Sains Mara were established in the Division. To-date, a total of 2,188
students have graduated from both Pusat Giat Mara in Betong and Saratok learning centres
specializing in various technical courses (GiatMara Cawangan Betong & Saratok, 2011). In
addition, from 97 students enrolled into the Community College in the Division since 2009,
56 of them have graduated while 41 are still pursuing their training (Kolej Komuniti
Cawangan Betong, 2011).
In addition to the construction of new schools and other institutions, the Government
has also put serious effort to improve the condition of both the primary and secondary
schools throughout the Division. To-date, the total development expenditure incurred on
schools in the Division amount to RM237,193, 250 representing 99% of the total human
capital expenditure incurred in the Division (see Table 4).
To bridge the prevailing rural-urban digital divide particularly in Betong, the Ministry
of Rural and Land Development has collaborated with Sarawak Information Systems Sdn
Bhd (SAINS), a government-linked company of the Sarawak Government to run the Rural
ICT Guided Home-based Technopreneur (RIGHT) Programme (2004 – 2011) at the Pusat
Pembangunan Luar Bandar in Layar. The main beneficiaries of this program are individuals
residing in the rural areas who posses talent and interest in ICT businesses but lack the
knowledge and skills to push them forward. Through this programme, individuals will have
the opportunity to be equipped with appropriate ICT skills that enable them to be homebased technopreneurs in their respective villages and districts.
27
As newly established Division, there is a need to beef up security in Betong and
surrounding area. Hence, under the new strategic development plan, a new police training
centre has been proposed and the centre will be built on 300 acres of land located in Ulu
Layar, Betong. The centre is expected to produce more qualified and capable police officers
to meet the demand for more police force in the country.
Table 4 and Figure 6 below depict the development expenditure on human resource
initiatives in Betong. The development costs of 99% were incurred by the Education
Department Sarawak to build new and improvement of schools within the Division.
Expenditure on MARA represented 0.13% of the total expenditure while remaining were
projects on pre-school and other human resource development projects in the Division.

Tourism Development

“a total of
RM21,100,000 has
been budgeted
to boost the
tourism industry
in the Division”
The State government has recognised the significance
contribution of the tourism sector to the economic growth of
Sarawak. Blessed with environmentally rich natural assets
and advantages, Betong will continue to maximise the
potential of its tourism sector. In line with this, the Division aims to develop and promote its
tourism industry through strategic tourism development plan. To accomplish this, existing
tourist spots will be upgraded and improved from time to time.

In recognising the contribution of the sector, Government plans to upgrade the
infrastructure/facilities of several tourist spots/attractions costing RM11,800,000 in stages in
the following villages;






Homestay at Kg Melayu, Maludam(completed)
Pesta Beras Wangi at Lubok Nibong (completed)
Tanjung Kembang, Kabong (completed)
Ikan Buntal Festival at Kg Manggut (on-going)
Fort Lili, Dayang Isah Tandang Sari Tomb
Teriso fishing and boat terminal
In addition, to pursue the strategic development plan further and to ensure sustainability
of tourism sector in the Division, attractive divisional tour packages such as 5 days 4 nights
package at Betong and 5 days 4 nights Package at Betong-Sri Aman is proposed. To further
boost the industry few supporting infrastructure will be constructed. This includes:


Tourist Information Centre, Betong
Hulu Awik / Ulu Krian Rest Stop
In addition, the proposal to upgrade the existing tourist spots at Maludam National Park and
the construction of chalets costing RM10,360,000 in the future will have a significant
multiplier effect on the economy of the Division directly and indirectly (Sri Aman - Betong
Urban & Regional Study, 2009). Given this, Betong will position itself as another competitive
tourist’s destinations in Sarawak. Meanwhile under the 10th Malaysia Plan, the proposal
amounting to RM 20,610,000 worth of projects were submitted for consideration. This
includes: Kabong Waterfront
 Seruai Wildlife Sanctuary Centre
 Debak Wildlife Sanctuary Centre
 Layar Wildlife Sanctuary Centre
29
Quality of Life
“government has earmarked
1,321 acres (534.0 ha.) of land
for residential development in
Betong”
Quality of life is defined as “the product of the interplay among social, health,
economic and environmental conditions which affect human and social development’
(Shookner, 1998).
To enhance the quality of life in Betong, another strategic thrust of the Government is
to develop, promote, conserve and sustain a healthy environment that will enhance a better
quality of life. Given the projected population growth in the Division, affordable homes, sport
complex, recreational park, hospitals, places of worship and other social services continued
to be given priority. The development projects in the RMK8 – RMK10 were summarized in
Table 5.
In terms of housing, appropriate measures will continue to be taken to increase
accessibility to adequate, affordable and quality houses for all income groups. Currently,
existing residential area occupies 173 acres. Assuming that Betong town’ population
household by 2020 is at 4.75 and will have a population of 25,000 with the gross residential
density at 4 units to an acre, there is a need for 1,320 acres for residential purposes. In
addition, if the population reaches 40,000 by 2030, it is anticipated that approximately 2,100
acres (850 ha.) is needed for residential use (assuming that the gross density is maintained
at 4 units to an acre and that the household size remains at 4.75) (State Planning Unit,
2009).To-date, the government has earmarked 1,321 acres (534.0 ha.) of land for residential
development in Betong.
Sport is a significant aspect of life. In addition to the existing Sports Complex,
another indoor stadium Dewan Sukan Tan Sri Amar Stephen Kalong Ningkan, was built near
the State Office Complex, Jalan Setia Raja / Jalan Tanjong Assam, Betong to encourage
more youths to be active in sport activities. A swimming pool has also been planned to be
constructed nearby. Given the open spaces, the Government has classified Betong town into
3 categories. Open space for category one is used for social gatherings and other functions
while, category two comprises of open squares and plazas and category three is a local
open space for the surrounding local community and this must be supported with basic
recreational facilities. About 53% of the total development expenditure was allocated on this
aspect (see Table 5).
While parks and recreation can have a measurable impact on state and local
economies, they can have important non-economic benefits as well. In fact, local parks and
recreation are associated with a sense of community. Given the importance of this, a new
leisure and recreational park namely Betong Family Park (50 ha) will be developed about 3
30
kilometers away from Betong town. In short, to ensure quality of life in Betong Division is
improved,
Government will continue its effort to provide more recreational places and facilities
in the future. As part of the tourism development initiative, facilities in Maludam National
Park were upgraded for recreational activities while improving the quality of life in the
division. Table 5 and Figure 7 depict the overall development expenditure to enhance the
quality of life in the Division.

Future Prospects
Betong has achieved a significant progress over the years and riding on the
Government Transformation Programme, the National Key Economic Areas of the Economic
Transformation Programme and the strategic economic reforms in the New Economic Model
as well as its Strategic Development Plan, Betong will continue to experience substantial
economic growth in the near future. This also means that Betong needs to attract more
inflow of investments into the Division. Given the potential and growth in several key sectors
of the economy, Betong is expected to create at least 4,555 new employment basically in the
agricultural sector in the next few years (Pejabat Tenaga Kerja Daerah Betong and Saratok,
2011).
To improve the living standard of the people in Betong, a further development cost of
RM210,000,000 (2009-2015), RM340,000,000 (2015-2020) and RM24,000,000 (2020-2030)
respectively will be invested on water supply, drainage, sewerage & septic sludge treatment
plant, solid waste and utility projects (Resident's Office Betong, 2009).
In addition, the Federal Government has also approved the Metro Polytechnic set up
in Betong New Town Extension to provide new opportunities for school leavers to further
their studies. The polytechnic is expected to start its operations in March 2013. On the other
hand, the human capital development and tourism
sectors will also receive a significant allocation to
ensure their sustainability in that Division (State
Planning Unit, 2009).
“Betong will continue
to experience
substantial economic
growth in the near
future”
In line with the concept of “People First,
Performance Now”, the Government is also
committed to uplift the livelihoods of the lower
income groups in the Division, irrespective of
ethnicity, background or location, through income
and capacity building programmes. This will be
achieved through strategic collaboration with other
Government departments and/or ministries. The
establishment of three precincts namely the
administration, educational and agriculture in the
Division will further accelerate the development of
urban Betong.
In summary, it is expected that the proposed development expenditure for Betong
under RMK10 and beyond will drastically increase the GDP of Betong Division.
32
Conclusion
Although the external environment continues to deteriorate as a result of euro crisis,
the Malaysian economy has recovered strongly after the 2007-2008 global economic and
financial crises. To unleash productivity led-growth initiatives the Government has developed
an environment that supports innovation across the economy (Economic Planning Unit,
2010). At the Divisional level, Betong will continue to initiate and implement all the
productivity led-growth initiatives as documented in its strategic development plan. The
report highlights the performance of 7 key strategic development thrusts of the Division when
it was carved out from the Sri Aman Division in 2002 and how it will move forward in tandem
with the development of the State.
In summary, given the progress of development in Betong to-date, Government initiatives to
transform the Division from a moderate district into one of the most progressive Divisions in
the State within less than a decade marks a significant achievement of the Government.
The development is also attributed to the strong political will and visionary leaders supported
by all stakeholders.

“I expect to pass through this world but once. Any good therefore that I do, or any
kindness that I can show to any fellow creature, let me do it now. Let me not defer or
neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again”.
