Abstract	This study investigates the implementation and effect of New Public Management (NPM) techniques in Malaysia and Bangladesh, highlighting the triumphs and problems encountered by both countries. NPM, a reform movement motivated by neoliberal economic ideas, focuses on efficiency, market processes, decentralization, and customer-oriented service delivery. While Malaysia successfully implemented NPM reforms, including IT-driven governance, public-private partnership, and performance-based administration, Bangladesh faced institutional inefficiencies, poor implementation, and donor-driven reform attempts. By comparing these experiences, the paper highlights significant elements that influence effective NPM implementation, such as economic development, political commitment, administrative competence, and technology integration. The findings indicate that, while Bangladesh has made some progress, full-scale NPM transformation would require improved institutional preparation, governance changes, and successful public-private partnerships.
