The reality of development inequality, lack of development in the agricultural sector, and the ambiguous status of lands are found to have threatened human security of the Lun Bawang in Ba’kelalan. Research found that although Malaysian development policies have succeeded to bring various development programs in Ba’kelalan, it has inadequately addressed some developmental issues in this area. Accordingly, research has conducted interviews and observations at the border area of Ba’kelalan, Sarawak, Malaysia, to assess (1) the impact of Malaysian development policies on the socioeconomic status and international cross-border dimension and (2) the extent to which developmental issues have posed a threat to the human security at the border. However, the effectiveness of these policies, particularly in the context of border communities living in the interior, is largely unknown. In Malaysia, among the main goals in implementing development policies include ensuring prosperity as well as human security of its citizens. This study examines the causal relationship between development and human security at the border.
