Rancangan Pengumpulan Semula (RPS) is the main focus of this research. The main finding shows that the role played by JHEOA in developing Runchang aboriginies as a government agency was not fully achieved as outlined in the New Economic Policy (NEP). JHEOA planned to develop the three main aspects, which were health, education and economy of the Orang Asli. Between 1970 to 1990, the health programme was the most successful aspect compared to the other two aspects. This is because health programme can be achieved in a shorter period of time whereas the impact of education and economic programmes can only be achieved in a longer period of time. Moreover, the Orang Asli were still ignorant of development programmes that had been planned for them. Because of this, they could not follow the entire programme thoroughly. Basic knowledge concerning government development programmes were not exposed to them. This was the main reason for their failure. As the result, the products made by the Ora.....

The purpose of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of Dansprint Pro K-1 kayak ergometer in kinematic of paddling parameter. Sixteen (16) UPSI kayak atheletes and sixteen national level athletes involve in this study. Prerecorded data from two (2) high speed camera (Panasonic WV-CP 450/G) which were obtained from two separated test Protocol X (reliability test) and Protocol Y (validity test) were analized using Peak Motus 4.0 Motion Analysis System software. This software are able to analized and measured 3 Dimensional kinematic parameters. Pearson Product Moment correlation statistic are use to get correlation coefficient value and level of significant of relationship between paddling kinematic variables from each test. Results from reliabilty test showed a high correlation coefficient value and significant in elbow angle at catch phase (r = 0.74, p< 0.05), vertical (r = 0.97, p< 0.05) and exit (r = 0.78, p< 0.05) paddling kinematic parameters. This result proof tha.....
