Description: Ministry of Health Service (MHS) did fair and open competitive selection process which was the best example of procurement management in my opinion. For better procurement, MHS involved the private sector in order to reduce public-sector costs and risk.

Sarawak and Sabah, the two Malaysian states located in north Borneo, tend to be less a influential part of the national culture.
