THEN MOLI RAMALINGAM

EC 08050

In our previous ethnic relation class (30 Sept 2010), we were asked to give definition of policy. There are different definition of policy :

i) The settled method by which the government and affairs of a nation are, or may be, administered; a system of a public or official administration , as designed to promote the external or internal prosperity of a state.

ii) A course of action , guiding principle, procedure considered expedient, prudent, or advantageous.

iii) A written contract or certificate of insurance.

The first definition (i) above was discussed mainly in the class. There are many policies in Malaysia to achieve prosperity of the state.These policies includes National Social Policy, National Education Policy ,National Telecommunication Policy, Sogoshosha Malaysia and more.The policy selected by our group to do the online survey is "National Social Policy". I hope our survey will have good response. That all for today .Thank you.
