TUTORIAL 2

1st Task

In your opinion, what would be the appropriate theme in illustrating the current development situation in Malaysia and justify your answer?

The best theme that our groups choose in illustrating the current development situation in Malaysia is about the emergence of civic society and regional development. It is because we think that it is suitable than other themes. Under these themes there are about the Civic society, as an example is NGO that filling the vacuum left by the government. As we know, it has the important roles in fulfill the gap that left by the government. Besides that, it also gives chance for non-bumiputera in their future time. It is because, we can see that the non-bumiputera hard to get work at the government sector. On the other hand, NGO’s make an improvement for the government sector otherwise it give the burden to the government.

Now, the government not only wants about the development country but also about the development human capital to set the K-worker, to give the best one facility to the public and promotes the best and good mentality’s attitude. As examples is about the Kem PLKN and Biro Tata Negara. The government also has done the project that can improve the country economy, job opportunity and investment. As examples we can see that LEGO Company invests for the Wilayah Pembangunan Iskandariah (WPI) by do LEGO theme park. Malaysia also focuses on the security, education and industries. Security is important to our country because there are many global issues have happened. As an example is GAZA conflict that will affect the development of the country. Education aspects are important in order to produce good future leader to continue our country development to the higher level as same level with the advanced country. People will get a good benefit if the economic development is increase. For example, our government is focus on agriculture industries because we have advantages to move one step forward in economic development.


Task 2

Analyze the impact of securing foreign aid to the development of a country. How far do you think the government should comply with the rules put by the borrower and why you say so?

When a particular country receives or gets foreign aid from another country in several aspects such as in military, finance, developments, expertise and education, the country usually would have to comply with several conditions and terms that have been set by the borrower. The country that gives the foreign aid wants to secure their interest by securing the aid. The impact of the foreign aid to the country can be divided into two which is positive and negative impact.

In the positive aspect, when we get an independent from Britain in 1957, we need their help to develop our country in administration. We need it to improve our administration in achieving better system to govern our country. As a result, we have been using the British administration system as our guideline until this time.

Secondly, after the tsunami tragedy, our country gives the foreign aid such as donation to Acheh for restructuring their country. Through this situation, our relationship with the other country will become close. It is also, can give good impact and create good reputation to our country in the eyes of the world.

As for the negative impact, in 1970’s, our country receive foreign aid from Japan. The foreign aid has negative impact on our country development, especially in rural area. This was proven when Japan establishes their factory such as SONY and Mitsubishi. The job opportunity back then was increased but when many workers that comes from rural area has affected by decreasing the development in that particular area.

The government that has received foreign aid must fulfill the terms and condition from the borrower as long as the rules did not give bad effect to our country situation.

If we don’t follow and fulfill the rules, maybe their will stop their foreign aid to our country. When their stop the aid, it will give bad effect such as hard to develop our country because of limited resources. As for example, cases of Tambak Johor Project. Singapore want to use our air space, water, and sand. So it will give bad effect to our country especially to internal and external security and economic.

Beside that, we should follow the rules put by the borrower if our country and the borrower both got the advantage from that foreign aid. Example is Russian give foreign aid to Malaysia in term of aerospace technology. Then we trade it with palm oil to them. As a result, both country get the benefit. This is a win-win situation for both country.
