Respondents generally satisfied with PM's efforts to attract investments to Malaysia
KUALA LUMPUR - Approval ratings for Malaysia's Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim improved by 4 percentage points to 54 per cent over the last year, according to Merdeka Centre's latest survey results released on Dec 23.
Respondents were generally satisfied with Datuk Seri Anwar's performance across a number of areas - such as attracting foreign investments, enhancing the country's image and improving the civil service - but gave a mixed assessment when asked about his efforts to improve the economy, said the independent think-tank.
The economy remains the top issue for voters, with 65 per cent identifying it as the "number one problem facing people in the country today", Merdeka Centre said, noting that this figure marks a decline from 74 per cent recorded in November 2023.
The survey, done between Nov 27 and Dec 10, took into account feedback from 1,207 registered voters nationwide, comprising 52 per cent Malay, 29 per cent Chinese, 7 per cent Indian, and 6 per cent Muslim bumiputera and non-Muslim bumiputera each.
