The main issue is whether the councillors' appointment process complies with the governing Act (Local Government Act 1976 or Act 171). At the same time, this research also tries to see whether those local authorities in Kelantan are ready to be independent, in the sense that they do not need any financial aid from the federal or the state itself. Overall findings show that the Kelantan's local authorities comply with the requirement mentioned in the Local Government Act 1976. However, the best practice is still lacking especially in the case of term of office and the shortage in the number of professional councillors. In conclusion, local authorities in Kelantan still need to improve especially in trying to get more professionals to be involved with the local authorities and the financial management in generating more revenue to the local authorities. 2001 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102350/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/102350/1/102350.pdf text en public masters Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Faculty of Accountancy
