Following last year’s 
success, the Malaysia Public Policy Competition (MPPC) is back, determined to be bigger and better!
This year, the MPPC will feature an even wider range of seminars and workshops, providing more meaningful and productive interactions with esteemed personalities. A panel of the top academics, vocal groups and current policy-making authorities of pertinence will engage openly and critically on cases carefully tailored according to feedback from past participants.
To enable deeper insights into the chosen areas and to facilitate more extensive policy-making experiences, the length of the competition has been extended to 3 days 2 nights. By the courtesy of INTAN (National Institute of Public Administration), food and lodging will be fully covered!
So what are you waiting for?
The MPPC is a case-based competition which provides local and overseas Malaysian students an opportunity to take on the role of a Malaysian public policy maker. It aims to give students a taste of the policy-making process in a real world context. Through this competition, participants will get to understand the importance of conception as well as implementation, and to tackle common policy dilemmas “in balancing “right” and “popular” policies.
The MPPC 2012 promises to be an engaging and intellectually stimulating occasion in which you will be presented with the opportunity to articulate and advocate your ideas. Engage top academics in lectures and interact with highly qualified peers who share a similar passion and curiosity with regards to public policy and the policy-making framework.
