Description	Decentralization, local autonomy, and local self-government were presumed inherent in the administrative structure, but were seldom the highlight of Malaysia's institution building and public administration reform strategies. Throughout Malaysia's administrative reforms and institution-building process, local government and decentralization have seldom been issues of priority. In reality with the balance of power arrangements that maintain control at the central government, local government and decentralization have been weakened. The process of decentralization that was supposed to delegate a degree of autonomy and independence to local government when it was restructured in the early 1970s became instead the route to recentralization. There exists a contradictory situation in Malaysian local government where the principles of good governance are endorsed and strongly encouraged by the central government, but seldom carried out and if so, reluctantly. In a sense, decentralization of the nature seeks to improve governance and service delivery by reducing delays and bureaucratic processes at different tiers of governments.
