Abstract

This study examines the reasons of FELDA settlers vote for a party and factors that influence the voting behavior of FELDA settlers in Felda Chini, Pahang. Chini (N23) is one of the FELDAs with majority Malay voters and most of the general elections in this area in the past were won by the Barisan Nasional (BN) including during the last general election in 2013. BN was also victorious in the three preceding elections in 1995, 2004 and 2008. FELDA Chini became a stronghold for BN. The study is learned 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 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 Dato’ Najib is not the leading factor for them to vote in the election.
