ABSTRACT

The Malaysian Government defined the Public Private Partnership (PPP) as: the transfer to the private sector the responsibility to finance and manage a package of capital investment and services including the construction, management, maintenance, refurbishment and replacement of the public sector asset which creates a standalone business. Subsequently, to strengthen the role of the private sector, the (PPP) scheme was unveiled in Malaysia under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP). In particular, in the Tenth Malaysia Plan, which covers the government's plan for the country's infrastructure development for the period from 2011 to 2015, it has been highlighted that PPP will be extensively intensified with 52 large-scale projects to be delivered via PPP. The main function of the Privatization Section is to act as the secretariat of the Privatization Committee, which is involved in the finalizing and confirming of proposals for privatization.
