 MCA Economy Blue Print > Thrusts and Strategies
 
Thrust 1:

Good Governance and Government Integrity;
Economic Efficiency and Prosperity


“Bad governance is being increasingly regarded as one of the root causes of all evil within our societies.” United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP).

National integrity encompasses all areas of national construction, including social, political and economic aspects. It covers both private as well as public sectors. The National Integrity Plan announced in 2004 is aimed at imbuing Malaysian society with a strong sense of morals and high ethical standards. At the same time, laws need to be implemented and enforced with a high level of integrity and carried out in good faith.

As participation is a cornerstone of good governance, MCA has always stressed that the needs and views of minorities must taken into account and that the voices of the most vulnerable in society must be heard in the decision-making process. This inclusive approach is responsive to the present and future needs of society. Thus, MCA continues to uphold the principle of good governance through defending and maintaining the integrity of the Federal Constitution and all its creations, including the proper exercise of executive powers, the judiciary and parliamentary democracy. It is through the integrity of institutions that the true objective of achieving social justice as part of nation building can be realised.

Economic Efficiency

MCA will continue to emphasise economic freedom, which is a fundamental right enshrined in the Federal Constitution. A good delivery system is one that can enhance the quality of life of our citizens, reduce the level of wastage of resources, minimise business costs, and encourage domestic and foreign investments. Effort must be made to improve state and local level administration as well review and streamline regulatory and licensing requirements. MCA will continue to work within the government system and PERMUDAH to effect the above aspirations to achieve optimal allocation of our economic resources.

The 9th Malaysia Plan and beyond – Nation Building based on the Rukunegara

In order to achieve Vision 2020 under the National Vision Plan (2001-2010) as well as our national mission of continued national unity, growth and social justice, Malaysia needs to continue to attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs). However, given the scenario of increasing competition for the FDIs among the ASEAN member states and other countries, the business community will need to rethink its business models and management approaches over the next five years in order to survive and thrive.

The MCA Economic Blueprint is a roadmap for the party, laying out the synergies it hopes to achieve through strategic alliances with the business community so that all Malaysians can work towards the objectives and targets of the 9th Malaysia Plan and beyond. With the Rukun Negara as the basis of our national ideology, we must strive towards advancements in all fields of science and technology while maintaining our spirit of togetherness, racial harmony and cooperation.
