Its all about the layers of government that have autonomy (power) in their own area. The key is to have a balance relationship between public and private sector.

In Malaysia, there is a Three-tier Government system; i. Federal, State and Local Government. Each bodies has their own roles and responsibility towards enabling the acts and policies that rule by the top-tier government. They got the capital through the tax, rents, licenses and etc. The more developed and huge are coverage by the local authority, the more income (capital) that they can collect and use for the management, improvement and maintenance for the particular area.

As we can see nowadays, the pandemic Covid-19 in the world have different approaches by the countries according to the capital stability, population density and roles of related authority in cater the situation.
