English term

accountability

English to Malay Social Sciences Government / Politics governance/accountability
I'm quite confused, as in this piece I'm translating wth regards to the integrity of politicians, the words "responsibility, accountable and accountability" often appears in the same sentence..I understand what the interviewee is trying to say, but the Malay terms are often interchangeable and it sounds so confusing to the reader if I use like, "tanggungjawab, kerbertanggungjawapan dan tertanggungjawabkan" in the same breath.

Tehsin Begum Mukhtar Ahmad (asker) Jan 23, 2008:
Leadership and accountability the essence of accountability is discharging one's responsibility, being accountable ...etc...is that helpful?
yam2u Jan 20, 2008:
when asking for suggestions, it is always better to provide context. the way your question is worded right now, it is not possible to give you more than dictionary definitions (which you already have!).

kebertanggungjawapan

here's my shot at it:

Leadership and accountability - the essence of accountability is discharging one's responsibility, being accountable ... => Kepimpinan dan kebertanggungjawapan - ciri penting kebertanggungjawapan ialah menyempurnakan kewajipan, kesanggupan mempertanggungjawab...

Breakdowns and alternative translations:

- Leadership and accountability = Kepimpinan dan kebertanggungjawapan

- essence of accoutability = ciri penting/asas/tunjang/teras kebertanggungjawapan

- discharging responsibility = menyempurnakan/melaksanakan/menjalankan kewajipan/amanah/tanggungjawab

- being accountable = bersikap bertanggungjawab (terhadap)/ (kesanggupan) mempertanggungjawab/ (kesanggupan) memikul tanggungjawab
