Abstract

The attainment of good governance is often perceived to bring
political stability which in turn, facilitates sound and effective government
administration. In the case of Malaysia, good governance serves as the core
element in public policy reforms. This can be seen through the implementation
of National Transformation Policy (NTP) which was introduced in 2010.
The NTP comprises of two major plans, namely Government Transformation
Plan (GTP) and Economic Transformation Plan (ETP). Since its inception,
the NTP has brought unprecedented changes in policy management through
the establishment of the National Key Result Areas (NKRAs) and National
Key Economic Areas (NKEAs). The NTP has been commended due to its
inclusiveness which is in line with good governance practices. The NTP
addresses 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 reasonably
accepted by many, despite nuances on the policy outcomes. The NTP embraces
good governance principles as the study confirmed the positive association
between these two. This transformation agenda seems to be the genesis of
Malaysia’s road to good governance. However there is still a long way to go to
fully achieve the goal.
