Malaysia has achieved substantial success

in its rural development, especially in reducing

the incidence of poverty in both rural and

urban. The rural areas have been developed

with infrastructures, utility, social amenities,

health and school facilities and etc to support

the economic development of the country as

well as increasing the quality of life of her

populace. The productivity and incomes of the

rural people, or more specifically the

commercial banks, investment
