Good Governance

Recently, "political tsunami" has been a hot issue in Malaysia. Whether mainstream media or internet , they are talking about "Reformasi ", Ketuanan Melayu", "V.K Lingam's case", "Internal Security Act (ISA)", "formation of Malaysian Anti Corruption Council (MACC) and Judicial Arbitration Council (JAC)" etc. 308 election has showed that Malysian have became more mature in dealing their right on democracy. Although many people still cannot wht have happened during, we must learn how to accept the consequences of our decision. You have made a choice in voting your candicate. Hope you have made a right choice.

Enough is enough. We must now only concentrate on what is good for our county future dentiny. For the mean time, all political parties whether is " Barisan Nasional" or "Pakatan Rakyat" coaliution should cooperate in order to have a good governance for the benefit of " Rakyat". Actually , what are the criterias of a good government ? Here I have a article about what is a good governance:
" The concept relates to the quality of relationship between government and the citizenwhom it exists to serve and protect the right of Rakyat. The four elements of good governance are



  1. Accountability
  2. Tranparency
  3. Predictability
  4. Participation

Accountability is taking responsibility on thir their own actions. They are required to respond what problem is stuggling among people and able to encounter it. Particularly with the dramatic improvements in information and communication tecnology such as improve e-filing, receive complaints via internet, promote protocol in blogger etc.this an essential adjuncty to improve efficiency of public service delivery and the Rakyat can now be obtained a low cost variety in obtaining their right to know what is happening .

Transperency in policy is a must for public( normally through mainstream media or internet).It is essential not only the information provided must always up-dated, but also it be relevant and understandable. Freedom of all media must be protected.This is important that journalists have a range of freedom in reporting the truth of events happening without crossing the boundaries of laws.

Predictability results primarily from laws and regulations that are clear, known in advance, and ubniformly and effectively enforced. Lack of predictability makes it difficult for public officials to plan for the provision of services. Predictability of government economic actions is also needed as an idicator on which the private sector can rely to make its own production, marketing, and investment decision. most importantly, to be predictable, the application of economc regulations must be fair, effective and uniform.

Participation of opposition parties is needed to act as a reality check and watchdog for government. Participation of rakyat is also needed as a spur to government operational efficiency and feedback for monitoring access to and quality of the services."
