Emergency Housing in Malaysia. Research on Attitudes to Regulation and Compliance

Read full textThis research focused on pre and post-disaster planning with particular reference to housing. A review of the existing research and practice in Malaysia including the structure and attitude of central and local government to risk was the starting point. Development assistance has a chequered history. Few would doubt that, at least at a local level and, quite possibly, more generally, it has had many successes, but its failures are also numerous. In general, the more developed Asian economies, of which Malaysia is one, have not devoted much attention to pre-disaster planning despite a rapidly growing capital stock of buildings including public and private housing. Although the Asian Development Bank has provided templates for pre-disaster planning, the uptake has been slow. This Malaysian case study is an important example, not just for the country but the region. Gathered actors’ perspectives in the implementation of regulatory compliance in all level of emergency management system in Malaysia helps to explain the reason of regulatory compliance failures. Measuring their attitudes towards regulatory compliance reveals actual commitment. The regulatory compliance to the Malaysia National Security Council MNSC directive 20 programme is a key focus. The actors interviewed generally admitted that they know very little about the regulatory compliance innovation proposed by the Prime Ministry Department. Consequently, the actors’ have broadly negative general attitudes towards regulatory compliance, arguing that currently too many barriers are present in department levels to make regulatory compliance implementation straightforward. The thesis concludes by categorizing obstacles that need to be overcome, to encourage actors to accept regulatory compliance and recommends changes to department structures, systems and practices prior to regulatory compliance implementation.
