2 33 La Weng Siew et al.: An Epirical Invetigation on the Efficiency of the Financial Copanie in Malayia with DEA Model La Weng Siew collected fro the databae Bank Scope and annual report of coercial bank. The coercial bank were CS, CSOB, GEM, JTB, KB, LBBW, POPO, PPF, RB, UNIC and Volkbank. The reult howed that the overall efficiency of coercial bank anaged to achieve approxiately 70-78% by DEA odel. GEM bank wa identified a the ot efficient bank a it achieved the highet efficiency core. In addition, the reult alo revealed that the group of large bank uch a CSOB, CS and KB bank achieved lower efficiency core due to the inappropriate ize of operation and the exce depoit in the balance heet. Zikova [6] ha evaluated the efficiency of the banking ector in Slovakia. Sixteen coercial banking intitution in Slovakia naely Citi Europe plc., CSOB, ING Bank N.V., J&T Banka, Koercnibanka, Oberbank AG, OTP banka, Pria banka, Privatbanka, Potovabanka, SLSP, Tatrabanka, Uni Credit Bank, Volkbank, VUB and Zuno Bank AG were evaluated in ter of the efficiency. Baed on the reult, there were total of nine coercial bank identified a efficient bank. Repkova [7] ha eaured the efficiency of the Czech banking ector by uing DEA odel. There were total of 5 Czech coercial bank evaluated in thi tudy. The overall efficiency core achieved by the coercial bank wa 6 to 90%. Sahin et al. [8] have applied the DEA odel to exaine the effect of global crii on public, private and foreign-capital depoit bank in the Turkih banking ector perforance. There were total of 9 unit aeed in thi tudy. Baed on the reult, the overall efficiency core of 00% that reached by public-capital depoit bank only can be oberved in year On the other hand, the foreigncapital depoit bank that obtained the overall efficiency core of 00% in the conecutive five year, fro year 2007 until 20. The private-capital depoit bank did not achieve 00% efficiency in hi tudy. In addition, DEA odel ha been applied in variou field uch a health care [9-], tranportation [2], plantation [3] and o forth. Baed on the pat reearch, DEA odel i able to evaluate and copare the efficiency of the copanie baed on ultiple input and output in variou countrie. However, thi odel ha not been tudied actively in Malayia. Therefore, thi paper ai to fill the reearch gap by evaluating and coparing the efficiency of the financial copanie in Malayia by uing DEA odel. 3. Data and Methodology 3..
