520 8 |a The technique of elite interviewing offers rich information and generates unique data for qualitative research. The subjects are primarily actors who are directly involved in the policy process and can provide reliable valid data to the researcher. Methods for conducting elite interviews, however, are rarely taught in academia, nor have researchers examined which specific challenges might arise from the application of elite interviews. The focus of this case study is to discuss methodology challenges researchers may encounter when conducting in-depth interviews based on the authors' experience of conducting elite interviews. The study put forward three main challenges that arise when conducting elite interviews: informants canceling the appointment at the very last minute, informants requesting that the interview not be recorded, and rescheduling appointments with other officers to replace the superiors as informants. These challenges were overcome by using relevant solutions such as rescheduling the interview session and assuring the participant that their personal information will be kept confidential. Another purpose of this case study is to share the experience of conducting elite interviews in the Malaysian context.
