摘要:Public accountability has become difficult to ensure for there are a variety of factors,
often rooted in the politico-bureaucratic institutions, that render accountability
mechanisms largely ineffective. Since the utility of existing mechanisms of
accountability is under challenge, governments have made increasing use of newer and
non-conventional tools/strategies to enforce responsible administrative behavior. This
article seeks to contribute to the understanding of public accountability in Malaysia and
its limitations. In particular, it focuses on the mechanisms of public accountability and
their roles in theoretical and empirical terms. The article begins with a brief overview
of the Malaysia's political and administrative context.
