As a opposition, we are truly disagree with the political ploy in rural development. political ploy means political tactics, and we emphasis that rural development not a pool ploy but it is pure government efforts without political agenda to develop the area.
1)The several objectives of Rural Development are :
-Government takes the necessary actions to eradicate the poverty in the rural area. the politician also play roles in giving aid and help to the poorer and they have no intention to play ploy tactics.
2)Welfare of society
-Government provide various facilities and programs to improve standard of living in the rural area. for example, MARA, MADA, FELDA, FELCRA and so on. this facilitative is to reduce the gap between the rural and urban area.
3)To utilize the resources
-As we known, the rural area bull with natural resources and raw materials. then, in order to utilize the resources, the rural area must be develop first. for example, timber, mine and bauxite.
From all the objectives of the rural development,we can emphasized that rural development is not a political ploy but it is the government efforts and initiatives to develop the rural area. the government provide various infrastructure for society needs and not for political interest in the country.

Economy obstacles
Too focus on informal sector
The informal sector is economic activity that is neither taxed nor monitored by a government and is not included in that government's Gross National Product (GNP) as opposed to a formal economy. The government cannot collect the tax from them to increase the government income.
eg ; Majority the people in Republic Congo just worked for themselves and their families like farmers. They did not any chances to develop the country because the government unable to provide the facilities for job opportunities
Social obstacles
Selfish attitude in society
- Unaware about the poor people in surroundings
- rich ignore the poor
eg : Many people in Kalimantan, Indonesia came to Malaysia just want to find job opportunities to develop themselves. The government ignored about the poor people in rural area and just focus in urban area like Jakarta.
War
- People cannot develop because the war. People and also country take a long time to become stable as usual.
eg ; The people in Palestine can not develop because all the facilities damaged because of war. So, it is hard and difficult for them to survive and have the problems to increase the opportunities in social in terms of education, health and so on.

Teacher's Note - Public Announcement
Dear students,
Hi and welcome back to class.
As I browsed your blog and read and commented on them, I noticed some common pattern of answer, 1) where you have the tendency to simplify your answer that sometimes I couldn’t find any relevancy to point discussed before it; 2) having so much unnecessary facts and details that making readers fell like reading a textbook.
Even though a blog entry should be short and simple, you don’t have to discount many of your words and make your argument everywhere. You don’t have to write an essay for that matter, but try to use concise word to articulate your point.
For those who love to back up their answer with all facts and data (as if we really want to know!), you too need to be concise and precise in choosing your words so that your entry doesn’t dazzled me … you know how much I hate to scroll the whole page just to find your main point at the end of your entry!
It is a waste when you come out with such a good point but having discussed it on the surface or lace it with unnecessary ‘ornament’ …
Try to be concise and precise and at the same time keep it short and simple.
On other words … briefly elaborate your point in detail – if you know what I mean.
Thank you and have a nice day!

For the question 6...
The political situation in Malaysia during 1960s especially in terms of people participation in politics, we say that the results of 13th May 1969 riot, people getting away and involve in the politic.
For the first view is the participation of people in third general election (10th May). Malays were aware and become consciousness and also try to avoid from being sweep away from their own land birth. Malay participate in politic to protect their land and language with shows strengthening effort in striving the right as aborigines of Tanah Melayu. The serious participation by the Chinese in the election give a big impact to Malays. Furthermore, they win in that general election and make Malays began to feel very threatened. They were only hoping to dig on to their political power. The racial riot that called "tragedi 13 Mei" became an eye opener to the leaders and hence, the formulation of NEP.
The next answer are..
Urbanization is the physical growth of rural or natural land into urban areas as a result of population in migration to an existing urban area. There are several impact of urbanization.
Actually, effects include change in density and administration services. While the exact definition and population size of urbanized areas varies among different countries, urbanization is attributed to growth of cities. Besides, increased number of illegal trading. The influx of immigrants and the big population has lead to a increased number of the trading activities.
As the number of application for trading and hawking licenses increases, the number of illegal trader or those trading without license are also on the risk.
Second impact that can be relate to development administration is increased number of illegal squatters. Because a lot of people immigrant to the city, so the needs are also demanded especially demand of residential houses and this can cause the exceed supply. Then, the number and size of illegal squatters increased due to unable to buy because limited resources or the price of the houses are beyond their means.
Last impact is increase demand for better quality of life because of the city grows. So, the government have to provide for improved infrastructure,high quality housing need and sustainable development of environment.
Answer for question 8..
A civic society, also known as a “civil society”, is a collection of organizations and institutions with a civic or social skills that works together in a way that the government cannot or will not. These groups work together on a voluntary basis in order to effect civic and social change and to improve the lives of the people. Generally, but not always, the members of a civic society are non-profit organizations and are not linked with the established government.
Civic societies include community-based organizations, community foundations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civic clubs, programs that develop community leadership, some kinds of unions, social clubs, academic institutions, charities, environmental groups, and cooperatives. Oftentimes, these organizations will work together to host civic events, plan programs for civic change and development, and cooperate to help one another achieve civic goals.
The functions of civic society is to help and assist the government sector. NGOs also is an organization which helping to persuade the government to fulfill their demands. Other than that, they will pressure the government so that the government will heard their opinions.
The example of civic societies are MAKNA and SUHAKAM. MAKNA (Majlis Kanser Nasional or the National Cancer Council) is a not-for-profit social enterprise mainly tasked to pool and utilize every effort, expertise and financial aid from every faction of society, and to fight cancer and reduce the related pain, suffering and morbidity that cancer patients and their families often experience. MAKNA has collaborates with various higher learning institutions. They also provide scholarship for the students and this will help the students graduated well and hence work with the government. Here, the government competency can be increased.
The other example is SUHAKAM. The functions are to protect the human rights of Malaysians from abuses of power, as in the threat to use the Sedition Act to stifle fair and legitimate criticisms of government policies. Here, SUHAKAM will critics all the actions and decision made by the government and this will increase the competency of the government itself. Other than that, they will give advice, assist the government sector, receive the report from the public and investigate all the problems arise.
number 9 ..
Defined in the strictest of terms, privatization means the sale of public utilities to private concerns. In the broader sense of the term,privatization is the contract operation of a public utility or service by a private entity.
Privatization is an opportunities abound to offer to manage public services with a close eye on cost and efficiency. It is for the better performance of needed services at lesser cost.
Besides that, private firms have more flexibility than governmental units to use part timers to meet peak periods of activity, to fire unsatisfactory workers, and to allocate workers across a variety of tasks. Moreover, critics of municipal governments argue that they are less likely to reward individual initiatives or punish aberrant behavior when compared with their private sector counterparts.
In terms of competition, private owners have a strong incentive to operate efficiently. If private firms spend more money and employ more people to do the same amount of work, competition will lead to lower margins, lost customers, and decreased profits.
Lastly, the existence of private sector will create job opportunities for the affected public employees or give them hiring preference. Governments often hire minorities in larger proportions than other workers.Thus, if government size is reduced, relatively more minority workers are likely to lose their jobs. so, this the function of the private sector.
question no 10 ...
In overall aspects of development in a country, we choose economic sector to be given more emphasis right now rather than social and politic. This is because, economic is necessary for harmonize and stabilize the country. For example, if the economy situation is unstable, the political situation will also be affected as nowadays, the opposition parties try to crush and use the unstable economic issue to ruin the government. Other than that, the crush may also occur within the government itself because of the power greediness.
On the other hand, if the economy situation is getting worst, it will affect the social life. The best example is the increase of unemployment and criminal cases in the country.
These two examples show that the political and social situations are depend on the economic stabilization.
The case that can relate to this argument is the case between Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad and Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim who had been dismiss from being the Deputy Prime Minister on 1998. If you alert and read deeply about this case, it was actually because of the economic problem and not because of the politic. As we know, there was an economic crisis in Malaysia on that time. Both of them have different opinion and decision in order to stabilize the country’s economy. Mahathir prefer a credit expansionary policy aimed at stimulating the economy and preventing it from sinking into recession. So, the lowest interest rate can be imposed and business can run smoothly. On the side of Anwar, he suggests cutting back on expenditure and imposed a credit squeeze. The maintaining of the reasonable high interest was one way of checking capital flight. The different of opinion between them caused split and affect their relationship.
Still confused with our arguments??? Can you think logically if the politic and social are unstable in the first world nations, are they affect our Malaysia politic and social situation? Of course not… But once the economy situation in those developed country is unstable, it will sure affect our economy situation too.

jEng3x.....!! MeNaReNotAllOwED ArE CoMe BaCk miSS fIsHa... hA! Ha! Ha! Haa!!!
hye guys..
these are our answer...=D
THE CURRENT DEVELOPMENT THEME..
We think the most appropriate theme this decade is MENTAL REVOLUTION.
Mental involving the mind or an intellectual process.
Revolution refer to a fundamental change in the way of thinking about or visualizing something.
Mental Revolution is directed at changing us into a dynamic people, and a community with high aspirations, striving hard to compete in development and seizing advancement in all area of life in our own country and in the world.
We choose mental revolution because, each individual must first develop themselves and achieve mental revolution to administer, participate and cooperate to develop the country.
In terms of Political Value..
The current situation in Malaysia show that the increasing of the political awareness among society. The society nowadays can be seen much more matured and being good decision makers in choosing the suitable political parties to be on their behalf. For example, more opposition parties sitting in the Parliament.
Other than that, the level of awareness and participation among old folks in politics are increasing. The best example that prove this statement is, the come up of one 'mak cik' that represent Parti Bebas, named Maimun Yusof,89 from Kuala Terengganu..This show how her mentality has sense of revolution.
In the government side, mental revolution can be seen through the appointment of Senators at Dewan Negara. They choose the senators whose come from other field other than economy and politic. For example, the appointment of Dato' Jins Samsudin who is glamor and handsome actor. Another Senator appointed was Senator Professor Dato' Dr. Ismail Salleh who is a blind man.
In terms of Economic Value..
The decision of government of Malaysia to export and emerge the local products to the international market. For example, Proton has been exported to Iran and get a good respond from the local Iran people. Besides showing the maturity of the government in this activity, it also shows to the world outside that we have stable economy to produce and export the car to the other country.
The other situation is the commercial of 'kerapu' and 'kelah' to international market like Hong Kong and China. We have become the largest producer and exporter for them. This also can be the alternatives to the entrepreneur to commercialize their product, hence to increase their monthly income.
In terms of Social Value..
The education revolution emerged the government capability and mentality to give the best educational institution to the students in Malaysia and around the world.
The government of Malaysia has in planning to introduce a university that ranked similar to the Oxford University called APEX University by replacing USM. This higher institution will get budget and expert from the outside.
On the other hand, the government needs an “education revolution” in the quest to have a world-class education to produce talented human capital in an increasingly global and competitive environment. This education revolution is to ensure that our aspirations to instill a new performance culture in the public and private sectors are not crippled by our inability to nurture a new kind of human capital that is equal to the tasks and challenges ahead.
The next answer for the next question are...
The role of foreign aid is to promoting the development of the unsecured country. There are the impact of the foreign aid to the development of the country.
Firstly, foreign aid helps greatly to increase life expectancy and reduce fertility rates around the world. By getting security of foreign aid, it can help to create economy opportunities and invested in human capital, then the chance of conflict maybe reduce.
Foreign aid generally transferred to the government of those countries, which tends to increase government power, resources and securing the rest of society. Foreign aid can sustained government to achieve counterproductive political and economic policies.
For example, the United States has been very generous when humanitarian disasters have occurred in various parts of the world. Such crises may be caused by natural disasters, political instability, or civil conflict which may create large flows of refugees. Foreign aid can do little to prevent earthquakes, but it can lessen the severity of droughts and famine by encouraging better farming methods and developing and employing drought resistant strains of crops. Similarly, foreign aid may be able to reduce the incidence of civil conflict by helping to create more economic opportunity in developing countries.
From our opinion, the government can still comply with the rules put by the borrower if the borrower agree that the foreign aid can help provide public goods in developing countries. Why we say so??? It is because, the government should realize the advantages and opportunities given by the borrower is for the sake of the country as long as they do not oppress by cruelty to us. The agreement must show that the borrower can help the country to develop well without any excuses as mentioned in the agreement.
A part from that, we must concern about the interest that imposed by the borrower. The interest must be reasonable and suit with the capabilities of that country to pay back..

This education revolution is to ensure that our aspirations to instill a new performance culture in the public and private sectors are not crippled by our inability to nurture a new kind of human capital that is equal to the tasks and challenges ahead.
The next answer for the next question are...
The role of foreign aid is to promoting the development of the unsecured country. There are the impact of the foreign aid to the development of the country.
Firstly, foreign aid helps greatly to increase life expectancy and reduce fertility rates around the world. By getting security of foreign aid, it can help to create economy opportunities and invested in human capital, then the chance of conflict maybe reduce.
Foreign aid generally transferred to the government of those countries, which tends to increase government power, resources and securing the rest of society. Foreign aid can sustained government to achieve counterproductive political and economic policies.
For example, the United States has been very generous when humanitarian disasters have occurred in various parts of the world. Such crises may be caused by natural disasters, political instability, or civil conflict which may create large flows of refugees. Foreign aid can do little to prevent earthquakes, but it can lessen the severity of droughts and famine by encouraging better farming methods and developing and employing drought resistant strains of crops. Similarly, foreign aid may be able to reduce the incidence of civil conflict by helping to create more economic opportunity in developing countries.
From our opinion, the government can still comply with the rules put by the borrower if the borrower agree that the foreign aid can help provide public goods in developing countries. Why we say so??? It is because, the government should realize the advantages and opportunities given by the borrower is for the sake of the country as long as they do not oppress by cruelty to us. The agreement must show that the borrower can help the country to develop well without any excuses as mentioned in the agreement.
A part from that, we must concern about the interest that imposed by the borrower. The interest must be reasonable and suit with the capabilities of that country to pay back..

Teacher's Note
My comment, on:
Human and social dimensions of development:
What do you mean by volunteerism? Which segment of volunteerism that may relates to DA? Or rather, in what way? Don’t simply put the point without elaborating it (deduction for that!). Regarding the example that you gave, there are so many questions puzzling me such as, what happen when people get connected with the government? Or, how human and social dimensions may affected by the system?
Hint: if your argument still bore the question of “why” over and over again, it means the argument is incomplete.
Economic development:
Indicators such as literacy rates, life expectancy and poverty undoubtedly very much related to DA. However, the relationship is not clearly illustrated and as such, your argument is everywhere without concrete correlation with the economic development.
What the disaster fund has to do with economic development and DA? People get the fund, and then, BOOM!, the economy is developed? Huh?
Political development:
“To enhance the state’s capacity to mobilize and allocate resources to process policy inputs into implementable outputs” – what a good point you came out with. HOWEVER …. The examples don’t really immaterial.
Why?
State’s capacity to mobilize and allocate resources VS. Men’s political monopoly VS. consciousness among the society = such a weird comparison!
No matter, how good your point is, but if the explanation is bad, it is a recipe for disaster!
Public Administration Development (PAD):
Why a sneer at the mentioned of Pak Lah's cabinet? Something wrong? Care to explain?
Result:
Overall performance: 5/10
Individual performance:

DEVELOPMENT ADMINISTRATION
In terms of....
Human and social dimensions of development:
Social development encompasses a commitment to individual well-being and volunteerism, and the opportunity for citizens to determine their own needs and to influence decisions which affect them. Social development incorporates public concerns in developing social policy and economic initiatives. The relevancy of the development administration with human and social dimensions of development is; it will foster social cohesion as well as improving the environment and the quality of life of the population. It strengthens & enriches the society by improving educational opportunities and making improvements to healthcare.
Eg: E- government system in Malaysia. It is medium for the people to connect and link them to the government.
Economic development:
Economic development refers to the improvement in a variety of indicators such as literacy rates, life expectancy and poverty rates. It relates to the development administration through the improvement of living standards and reduces unemployment. It is also as effort that seeks to improve the economic well- being and quality of life for community by creating and retaining jobs and supporting or growing income and tax base.
Eg:
1) The disaster fund that has been established to collect the fund for those who are affected with disaster happened.
2) Human Resource Ministry had provide the job vacancy website to help those who are still looking for the job suit to them to reduce unemployment.
Political development:
Political development is the development of the institutions, attitudes, and values that form the political power system of a society. It relates to enhance the state's capacity to mobilize and allocate resources to process policy inputs into implementable outputs.
Eg:
1) Previously, the politic agendas are monopolized by the men but nowadays it seems to have more participation of women in politics.
2) The consciousness among the society regarding the politics by choosing the best representative in order to voice out their demands. Now, we can see that there are more and more and more representatives that come from the opposition parties in parliament.
Public Administration Development (PAD):
Public administration is a field that comprises many mechanisms to administer the development administration. It gives special attention to investigate of the management of all phases of public policy formulation and implementation which have an interest and importance beyond a particular government and state.
Eg: Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia (SPRM). This commission exists to eradicate the bribery and corruption among the society, government servants and also........Pak Lah's cabinet...?????.........=P
