Notes

  1. 1.

    The NEP, which took the form of five-year development plans, was given a period of 20 years to achieve its restructuring targets and in 1991, was replaced by the National Development Plan (NDP). The NDP placed less emphasis on setting targets for income redistribution, and more on growth and income raising policies (Henderson, Hulme, Phillips, & Nur, 2002; Heng, 1997).
