| Summary: | The attainment of good governance is often perceived to bringpolitical stability which in turn, facilitates sound and effective governmentadministration. In the case of Malaysia, good governance serves as the coreelement in public policy reforms. This can be seen through the implementationof National Transformation Policy (NTP) which was introduced in 2010.The NTP comprises of two major plans, namely Government TransformationPlan (GTP) and Economic Transformation Plan (ETP). Since its inception,the NTP has brought unprecedented changes in policy management throughthe establishment of the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) and NationalKey Economic Areas (NKEAs). The NTP has been commended due to itsinclusiveness which is in line with good governance practices. The NTPaddresses fundamental policy issues in areas such as public transportation,socio-economic improvement, public sector performance and political stability.This study has revealed that the implementation of NTP has been reasonablyaccepted by many, despite nuances on the policy outcomes. The NTP embracesgood governance principles as the study confirmed the positive associationbetween these two. This transformation agenda seems to be the genesis ofMalaysia’s road to good governance. However there is still a long way to go tofully achieve the goal. |
