Four Main Regulatory Review Tasks. Picture the regulatory system as a swimming pool To create a healthy, clean pool for businesses you must: Clean the water in the pool (the regulatory stock) Filter new water coming into the pool (the regulatory flow) Maintain the pool infrastructure (institutions) Ensure that someone is responsible for keeping the pool clean (regulatory quality control).

The New Style of Regulation: A Cultural Change. Traditional Regulation Reflexive (automatic response to problem) Static Standardised Deliberative Means‑oriented Opaque and interest‑group‑based Single‑mission National Replacement of markets Effective Authoritarian and top‑down.

Regulatory Reform. Regulatory reform helps the Government to improve regulatory quality by reforming regulations that raise unnecessary obstacles to competition, innovation, and growth, while ensuring that regulations efficiently serve important objectives. Reforming Malaysia’s regulatory regime is crucial to support the country’s aspiration to become a high-income nation through private-sector driven and people-centred growth. MPC is a government agency responsible to further enhance these initiatives at the Federal level. Under the 11MP, the policy will be extended at the states and local authority level. In order to achieve good quality regulations, all regulations must be reviewed using Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA)..

Monitoring and Reporting on GRP. Sect. 6 ( pg 45) of Best Practice Regulation Handbook states: “MPC will publish regulatory annual report on regulatory activities undertaken by Federal Government Regulators” Objectives : Assess progress of National Policy on the Development and Implementation of Regulations ( NPDIR) Review regulators’ performance Increase transparency Advance notification of regulatory plan To be used by ministries and agencies for further engagement and implementation of GRP.
