What is the Malaysia Public Policy Competition (MPPC) 2012?
The
Malaysia Public Policy Competition 2012 is a case-based competition, set in the
landscape of Malaysian public-policy making. The MPPC aims to provide college
students and undergraduates the avenue to take on the role of a Malaysian
public-policy maker. Participants will have the platform to understand the
importance of conception as well as the implementation of public policies, and
to tackle common policy dilemmas in balancing “right” and “popular” policies.

The
competition is open to all Malaysian undergraduates who are pursuing their

local and overseas universities/university colleges/colleges are eligible to
