The demographic pillars of good governance in Malaysia

Abstract

    The human foundations are of great importance in estimating the political value of the state, through their participation in giving an appropriate assessment of the state’s strength and value in terms of population number, growth rates and their distribution in the political unit, as well as determining its location or political position on the basis of human wealth, which is the basis for the establishment of the state. The actual power of the state is not in the natural resources that it possesses within its geographical borders, but rather lies in how to optimally exploit those resources by means of human power, so that its strength is the result of an interaction between the natural and human resources that it owns.
