| Summary: | From the comparative analysis of the top 100 cooperatives in SKM from 2009 to 2014, this study have revealed some fundamental challenges confronting the Malaysian cooperative movement. The open system in ranking of the top 100 cooperatives has revealed an uneven playing field for the thousands of cooperative entities. As such, it is not surprising to observe in the class analysis, the dominance of certain sectors over the others and under-representation of a majority of the sectors in the top 100 cooperatives. Except for the
banking entities, all other sectors do not perform well in the ranking system while 1 sector failed to have any representation to the top 100 cooperatives. The need to comply with additional rules and regulations from Bank Negara Malaysia will always make the 2 banking cooperatives to be entrenched within the top
100 cooperatives as the management have to commit themselves to the rigid and rigorous supervision activities of the central bank. The trend over the six years of analysis for the four fundamental parameters for the cooperative movement revealed healthy trends and patterns. However the analysis on the annual changes in the trend of growth of all four parameters in the ranking system revealed some serious trend
between each year of analysis which will have far reaching consequences on the cooperative movement in the short run as well over the medium term. The erratic pattern of transition between each year of analysis is a major cause of concern as it is a sign of underlying weaknesses and structural problems confronting the cooperative movement in general and the cooperative entities in particular. The erratic pattern in the growth of membership and the declining membership in numerous sectors are a major cause of concern for the cooperative movement as it is a reflection of fundamental problem confronting the cooperative entities. The erratic pattern is equally visible for the other 3 parameters, share-capital, revenue and total assets which will require further research initiatives. The Key Words: banking, credit, agriculture, consumer, service, transportation, housing construction and industrial cooperatives |
