Privatization may be defined as the transfer of the public sector activities and functions to the private sector. This applies to the commercial and industrial enterprises which are often owned, nmanaged and implemented by the public sector which could otherwise be operated by private sector. Privatization is premised in the assumption of the superioroty of market forces over administrative directives in governing economic activity to achieve efficiency.
Malaysia first implemented privatization in 1983 abd the first project being upgraded of a public road into a tolled reoad bypassing the town of Klang. From then the government has extended the privatization projects to cover other sectors.
The objectives are to relieve the financial and administrative burden of the government, to improve efficiency and increase productivity, to facilitate economic growth. to reduce the size and presence of the public sector in economy, to produce more Bumiputera entrepreneur and to help meet national development targets.
Hopefully , these brief idea on the policy will help you all in understand more of our Malaysia's policy.

The Community Spirit
From Our honorable PM:
My trips back to my hometown and constituency of Pekan always evoke a sense of nostalgia. I am pleased to be able to visit Pekan several times this month, considering the amount of workload in Putrajaya. Since these visits become more frequent every Ramadhan, so do the memories.
One childhood memory that I recall takes place during the fruit season. During such times we would receive visitors from all areas of Pekan who brought with them some of the produce from their own orchard as gifts. The family home would always be stocked with all types of local fruit – durian, rambutan, langsat, you name it.
In appreciation of these thoughtful gestures, my late father would make the effort to personally thank the village folk who had come by. He would personally travel to the homes of his constituents and thank them for their gifts.
I’m certain many of the people of Pekan still remember his visits. While this memory is special and unique to my family and the people of my hometown, the gesture and intent behind it is familiar to all of us. It is a simple, yet meaningful reciprocal relationship that fosters respect among individuals. The spirit of neighbourliness in Malaysia has always been a part of our national culture, regardless whether it is during Ramadhan or other festive occasions. Communal activities like gotong-royong, kenduri (or open houses) and balik kampung are a reminder of this relationship.
The culture of balik kampung is important in preserving the connection between those of us who live in more urban and developed areas of the country and the traditional, cultural and rural way of life. I observed that the recent long weekend was just one example of many in our rich Malaysian culture where most of us return to our hometowns to reconnect with relatives and friends.
While we make our contribution to the development of the nation, the continuation of such traditions and relationships is crucial for us to preserve our culture and identity as Malaysians. How do you plan to connect with your neighbours and community this coming festive season? Share your experiences in the comments below.

What we learnt from 3days of acting?
Having three classes session to complete all the comic acting by all the groups from E31 sessions, we definitely gain a lot. Maybe this activities seems to be out from the topic of studying Ethnic relations for certain people, though it actually benefits all of us.
Firstly, we learn all the history of the past that has been the key and also the story of success in our country. This histories involves the interaction between all ethnics for example in the history of formation of Malaysia, riots during 13 may 1969 and so on. This history is the best source of keeping us to be ready and to create a peace environment in order to preserve all the success that we have gained in the past as well as to improve ourselves from the lessons learnt from the past.
Next, we get to prepare ourselves in presenting ourselves in public. Since acting requires courage as well as concentration, it helps us to build up our confident when facing others in public. Not to forget, we could express ourselves in the class. Rather than having a normal class session , we get to involve ourselves in contributing the ideas and knowledge to everyone in the class. The lesson becomes more interesting and lively with this kind of activities.
Overall, our group has benefits a lot from here. We get the fun and excitment in attending classes that we normally dont get it and we also learn many things which we always wish to by an alternative way besides reading from books and slide presentation. Thanks to all my group members for having a good time with me in acting out the comics drawn and also thanks to all my coursemate for giving us a wonderful time together. Not to forget to Mr. Ahmad who has come up with such briliant activities. May the joy and excitment continues for times to come.

Today our Ethnic Relations subject lecturer had done revision of last class lecture. He used 15minutes to ask us some questions and meanings that we done in puzzle. Sir asked two special words that’s the different between enculturation and acculturation.
As I know, meaning of enculturation is the adoption of the behavior patterns of the surrounding culture. However, acculturation means the modification of the culture of a group or individual as a result of contact with a different culture. Addition for the meaning is that the process by which the culture of a particular society is instilled in a human from infancy onward. Besides that, Sir also asked us other meanings such as pluralism, discrimination,prejudice and so on.
After revision session, Sir was given us two pieces of papers for every group as our today class activity. The activity is creates dialogue for the comics. Furthermore, we can draw another character to make it more interesting. To make it nicer, we are able to color every character in the comics. This is a group work and I am worked with my group members. They are Lee How Cheh, Wong Chun Yuan, Heng Poh Chai, Ching Wai Hoong and me. For beginning, we all are headache with it because we have no idea about it. In half an hour period, we are able to created dialogue for every comic. The roughly idea was came from a word, Racism. We will try to make the dialogue interesting so readers won’t get bored of it.

Today our lecturer start the lesson by a recap on German Day which was an event organised in UMP Gambang. Mr. Ahmad gave an analogy on why German can be a well developed technology country. This is due to the fact that German is more advance in academic as their education system is basically based on research method. This remind us of what we need the most is to have more practice and self independent into practising the knowledge that we have gain and not just receiving the knowledge without proper work out.
Besides, we learn the difference between ethnic and race. Race is something physical such as skin colour which is inherited. Whereas ethnic is in terms of languages, tradition, culture, identity and religion which can be learned and shared together with each other.
3C
competition-exists in the field of education and economic. Everyone fights for a place to enter local university, in choosing courses and to gain scholarship. In terms of economic, job opportunity, tender, contracts and marketability are the common things in competition. This competition if positively practice will helps ones to improve themselves in order to have themselves into the competitor's group. This will lead to a country with a more self independent and high spiritual's citizens.
Cooperation-we can see this cooperation in Barisan Nasional politic party. This Barisan Nasional Party consists of three sub party which are UMNO,MCA and MIC. Cooperation, understanding, unity among each other has succesfully enable this party to work well and being given the trust from the citizen to lead the politics.
Conflicts-For example is the black dot on our nation history which happened on the 13th May 1969. At this time there was a riot and fights in between two races which resulted on many deaths. This conflicts should be well handle and a more compromise way should be taken in order to achieve a stable and peaceful living environment.
