Development Planning in Malaysia began in 1950 with the publication of the Draft Development Plan of Malaya. Of the twenty three development planning documents prepared to date, two are ten-year outline prospective plans; eleven five-year development plans including the Draft Development Plan of Malaya which was for a six-year duration; and ten mid term reviews.
