The circular on the National Policy on the Development and Implementation of Regulations (NPDIR) was issued by the Chief Secretary to the Government of Malaysia on 15 July 2013 which requires all federal ministries and agencies to undertake good regulatory practice (GRP) and regulatory impact analysis (RIA) in developing new and amended regulations. This policy seeks to ensure that regulations are developed according to international best practice in regulatory management. In the Eleventh Malaysia Plan (2016-2020), Malaysia Productivity Corporation (MPC) has been mandated to expand the adoption of the National policy on Development and Implementation of Regulations (NDPIR) to states and local governments. This initiative is to accelerate a comprehensive and inclusive regulatory reform in Malaysia to ensure new and existing regulations, as well as their administration and enforcement, are aligned with GRP. For the purpose of this report, the methodology consists of three main phases: Phase 1: • Desk research – collecting data and information. • Data collected from several related website such as Department of Statistic, State Economic Planning Unit, 1 State Agencies, local Authorities and few other related websites. • Data and information also collected via phone call and email. Phase 2: • Analysis of data, review and confirmation of data and information. Phase 3: • Recommendations for improvement and report writing 1.2 Objective and Scope Generally, the objective and scope of this report is to develop a recommendation report to implement GRP for the state of Perak and Local Authorities. The specific objective and scope are: a. To analyze practices existing regulation and governance rule- making (include institutions) b. To find the gap analysis between existing state rule-making process with NPDIR c. To provide recommendation on how to improve the rule making process to ensure that it is align with NPDIR. 1.3 What is GRP – NPDIR The National Policy on the Development and Implementation of Regulations (NPDIR) has been developed to support the modernisation of the regulatory regime. There is increasing recognition that over-regulation, poorly designed regulations or in some cases under-regulation leads to regulatory failures which undermines the intentions of good policies. Global competition, social, economic and technological changes requires the government to consider the inter-related impacts of regulatory regimes, to ensure that regulatory structures and processes continue to be relevant, robust, transparent, accountable and forward-looking. 2 The goal of good regulatory policy is to achieve coherence, effectiveness, efficiency and accountability in the rule-making and implementation process. This modernization is also an essential part of realizing several of the policy objectives of the NEM that include: • Removal of barriers and reduce cost of doing business; • Improvement in decision making for policy implementation; and • Improvement in economic efficiency through enabling fair competition. The Special Task Force to Facilitate Business (PEMUDAH) was established by the government to ensure that Malaysia remains an attractive and competitive investment location. PEMUDAH has been addressing service delivery issues that relate directly to investment and starting a business. It has recognized that changes in rules and legislation are also required. NPDIR policy complements PEMUDAH’s efforts and will ensure that any new regulation does not result in disincentives to business, investment and trade. NPDIR guides the development of good regulations, which is essential in achieving the NEM policy objectives. It sets out core principles that regulatory authorities should adhere to in regulating and outlines a number of steps that will be taken to put the principles into practice. It will also seek to reduce, if not eliminate, cumbersome and inappropriate bureaucratic procedures that affect the cost of investing and the potential returns on investment. The objective of the policy is to ensure that Malaysia’s regulatory regime effectively supports the country’s aspirations to be a high-income and progressive nation whose economy is competitive, subscribes to sustainable development and inclusive growth. The policy is implemented to promote a regulatory process that is effective, efficient and accountable as well as to achieve greater coherence among the policy objectives of government. This policy applies to all federal government ministries, departments, statutory bodies and regulatory commissions. It is also applicable for voluntary 3 adoption by state government and local authorities. Regulators proposing new regulations or regulatory changes must undertake the regulatory impact analysis (RIA) involving the following components: • Problem Identification Regulators must establish clear objectives, evidence that a problem has arisen and government intervention is required. Regulators must ensure that risks are of sufficient significance to justify intervention. • Objectives Objectives of the proposal or the problem must be identified, described, analysed and documented clearly and concisely. • Instrument Options The objectives must be analysed to ensure the most effective and efficient option is chosen. It must be demonstrated that new regulations will help solve the problem. • Assessment of Impact An assessment of the impact (costs, benefits and where relevant, levels of risk) of a range of feasible options for consumers, business, government and the community must be carried out to assess potential effects. • Consultation Regulators proposing new regulations or changes must carry out timely and thorough consultations with affected parties. • Conclusion and RIS should include a statement identifying the Recommendation preferred option based on the impact analysis. • Implementation The implementation strategy and a review of the preferred option must be described comprehensively in RIS. 4 • Publication of RIS RIS is to be published on the regulator’s and MPC website as soon as practicable from the date of official announcement of the decision. In order to standardize the way that polices, laws and regulations are developed and improve overall regulatory quality, regulatory impact statements and public consultations were introduced. Under National Policy on the Development and Implementation of Regulations (NPDIR), all Federal Government regulators must undertake Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) and present the Regulatory Impact Statement (RIS) in the creation of all new regulations or review of regulations that relate to, or impact business, investments and trade, upon assessment by MPC. The process is also applicable for voluntary adoption by state governments and local authorities. RIA will be applied in all ministries and agencies. The tool is to enable governments to make sound analysis, evidence-based decision making and ensure transparency in all new and amended regulations. 5 CHAPTER 2 ABOUT THE STATE GOVERNMENT 2.1 State characteristics Perak is a peaceful and beautiful state, and full of opportunities. Bordered by a number of other states, Perak offers various privileges in aspects of economy, tourism, infrastructure and others.

Under the so called Perak Amanjaya Development Plan, some of the things that we have tried to do are the same things that I believe many others here are concerned about: first, balanced development and economic distribution between the urban and rural areas by focusing on developing small towns; second, poverty eradication regardless of race or religion so that no one remains on the fringes of society or is left behind economically; and, third, youth empowerment. Under the first one, the state identifies viable small- and medium-size companies which can operate from small towns. These companies are to be working closely with the state government to boost the economy of the respective areas.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Study Tin mining is one of the oldest industries in Malaysia. As what had been researched by James R.Lee (2000), the tin mining started since 1820s in Malaysia after the arrival of Chinese immigrants. The Chinese immigrants settled in Perak and started tin mines. Their leader was the famous Chung Ah Qwee. Their arrival contributed to the needed labour and hence the growth of the tin mining industry. Tin was the major pillars of the Malaysian economy. Tin occurs chiefly as alluvial deposits in the foothills of the Peninsular on the western site. The most important area is the Kinta Valley, which includes the towns of Ipoh, Gopeng, Kampar and Batu Gajah in the state of Perak. But that was long ago before price of tin had fallen greatly and high cost of mining had shutdown the industry. What is left now is the abandoned mine site scattered all over Perak. Some mines are far from populated area and some are in the population itself such as Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). The campus is located on land that was once an active tin mining site. The residual of past activities can be seen where number of mining ponds can be found scattered in the vicinity of UTP. The main concern from geologist and nature agencies are the identification of Potentially Toxic Elements (PTEs) and the level of concentration for each element found in the area. Until now, there are only a few numbers of studies in Malaysia that has been done on data collection of PTEs and elevated content of PTEs in former mine.

Due to the inherited structural and tectonothermal complexities, discovery of diagnostic microfossils from these carbonates has been problematic. This is particularly the case for the Kinta Limestone, a massive Paleozoic carbonate succession that covers most of the Kinta Valley in the central part of the Western Belt of Peninsular Malaysia.

  • Data Standardization Analysis to Form Geo-Demographics Classification Profiles Using K-Means Algorithms
    GEOGRAFIA OnlineTM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 12 issue 6 (34 - 42) 34 Themed issue on current social, economic, cultural and spatial dynamics of Malaysia’s transformation © 2016, ISSN 2180-2491 Improving the tool for analyzing Malaysia’s demographic change: Data standardization analysis to form geo-demographics classification profiles using k-means algorithms Kamarul Ismail1, Nasir Nayan1, Siti Naielah Ibrahim1 1Jabatan Geografi dan Alam Sekitar, Fakulti Sains Kemanusiaan, Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, 35900 Tanjong Malim, Perak Correspondence: Kamarul Ismail (email: [email protected]) Abstract Clustering is one of the important methods in data exploratory in this era because it is widely applied in data mining.Clustering of data is necessary to produce geo-demographic classification where k-means algorithm is used as cluster algorithm. K-means is one of the methods commonly used in cluster algorithm because it is more significant. However, before any data are executed on cluster analysis it is necessary to conduct some analysis to ensure the variable used in the cluster analysis is appropriate and does not have a recurring information. One analysis that needs to be done is the standardization data analysis. This study observed which standardization method was more effective in the analysis process of Malaysia’s population and housing census data for the Perak state. The rationale was that standardized data would simplify the execution of k-means algorithm. The standardized methods chosen to test the data accuracy were the z-score and range standardization method. From the analysis conducted it was found that the range standardization method was more suitable to be used for the data examined.
