When LBJ came calling at Felda LBJ


A giant arch welcomes outsiders to Kpg LBJ which was once upon a time a felda settlement visited by non other than the President of the United States Lyndon B Johnson. UU BAN/The star

IF there is one reason why settlers in Felda LBJ walk with a spring in their step, it is because theirs is the only scheme ever visited by the US president.

The scheme, located some 25km from Seremban and initially known as Felda Labu Jaya, hosted its most important visitor back in 1966 when President Lyndon Baines Johnson dropped by to see for himself the ubiquitous-yet-humble rubber tree which had helped put Malaysia on the world map and how latex was produced.
