Chapter 2: Development Administration themes

Why the concern of DA in 1960s focusing on political modernization?
The real need of political modernization is not clearly defined. I’m expecting some analysis or comparison between the existing system (social, politic and economy) in 1960s and the period before it that lead to the political modernization.

How can u evaluate the political situation in Malaysia during 1960s especially in terms of people participation in politics.

The political situation in MSIA (1960s) is more stable as the effects of political modernization. Since the changes & improvements in the political system, there are many opportunities for the people to involve in the politic. This involvement could then facilitate the development of our own culture.

What the indicator that you use in measuring the stability? What changes and improvement do you mean? Support your argument with examples. [Excessive use of abbreviation and improper spelling. Deduction]


Define urbanization and explain the impact in relation to DA.
Who’s definition you’re quoting? Your sources?

The impact – good.


How far the existence of civic society may increase the Government competency.

The government competency can be shown without existence of this civic society.

As what we know, the existence of SUHAKAM & MAKNA is to give advice and assist government in administration job. Therefore, it does not mean that they are capable in replacing the government function. The establishment of the government department showed the competency of the government for handling specific functions outlined by the government itself.

Very contrasting statement coming from you. Your defense?


“To privatize or not to privatize”. Discuss.
As simple as that? You opt for privatization because the private needs to pay ½ of their profit to the government? What about the clash of values between private and public?


Which of these aspects (eco, soc & pol) should be given more emphasis right now and why.
Good point. [Improper spelling. Deduction]
