Abstract
This article is a macro-analysis of reform in the Malaysian civil service, covering the ten-year period between

in order to speed up the implementation of development policies and deliver the economic goods to lhe
people. This article brings into focus the opinions of high-ranking civil servants about reforms initialed during
this period. The article concludes that though more effort is still needed, especially in determining how close
programmes and policies have come to achieving their target, bureaucratic reforms carried out in Malaysia
between 198] and] 99] have generally been successful in changing attitudes of civil servanl.S towards lhe goals
of efficiency, effectiveness and productivity.
