History of Malaysia's Palm Oil Plantation

Long time ago, Johor's plains were filled with rubber plantations. They seemed to seem to stretch out all over the land in their vast amount. Every morning the women will set up their pails to harvest the rubber and every evening the men will bring the rubber to their vehicles to be sent to be sold.

One day the government realised that the rubber harvesting process was taking too long and they only produce a small capital. A man eventually came up with an idea to turn some of the rubber plantations into a palm oil plantation. He then explained the use of palm oil and how easy it is to harvest. Eventually, the government agreed to the use of palm trees instead, and that resulted in the numbers of the palm oil plantations today.
