ABSTRACT
While unethical conduct lies in the nature of human beings and is found in all countries around the world, their manifestations and extent varies considerably, which, in turn, is shown to be related to the extent that ethics management can be pursued. The cultures and practices of Southeast Asia are varied, an in-depth analysis of the core components of public administration systems in selected countries of Southeast Asia. In comparative works, reminders of cultural relativism and cultural provincialism are always appropriate. In all countries and districts, the role of personal ties affecting public administration is strong. Indeed, Southeast Asia is well known for its attention to human relations; foreigners usually experience great personal attention and friendship bestowed on them. In all countries, the task is to contain the darker manifestations of cultural patterns, and to shape fundamental human motives in the service of public purpose.
