It can be observed that new public management concepts are widely devised to mobilize the administration of their government toward the better efficiency. Within a wide variety of concepts related to new public management, both positive and negative feedbacks and criticisms can also be found; such as the concept of regarding people as customer or clients which leads to a controversial debate. Public management is yet different from business administration, regarding citizenship of the people. Therefore, the shift of governing and administrating to providing service for the citizen should be initiated following the new public management concepts. Furthermore, the concept of good governance is considered an option to bridge the gap relating to new public management implementation difficulty.
