Accounts of the real-world use of system dynamics as a policy evaluation tool in macro-economic management are relatively rare. This paper offers an overview of current research being undertaken for the government of the State of Sarawak in E. Malaysia where an SD model is being formulated to inform the States future economic and social planning to 2020. Although still a work-in-progress, enough has been achieved to enable an interim account of the research to be written. Positive engagement with State government officials at the highest level has put system dynamics on the map in this corner of SE Asia.
