| Summary: | This study analyzes the level of political participation of FELDA settlers in Felda Chini, Pahang. In the previous general elections, most of the seats were won by Barisan Nasional (BN) except for the 1999 General Election where Barisan Nasional lost to Keadilan in Chini (N23) area. This study also examines the reasons of FELDA settlers vote for a party and factors that influence their voting behaviour. The study is based upon questionnaires distributed to the FELDA settlers. Out of 507 questionnaires distributed only 348 were returned giving a return rate of 69% which is considered satisfactory. Overall, the FELDA settlers belong to spectator group of participants. This group has interest in politics and consider it their responsibility to vote in the election. The FELDA settlers prefer to vote for the ruling party as a sense of gratitude in order to express their appreciation for the government's contribution. The study finds that the high level of education does not correspond to the high level of political participation. |
