Survey: PAS now seen as Malay, Muslim defender - more than Umno

Survey finds Malays more receptive to Guan Eng, but not AG and CJ

Some Malays view Najib's arrest as 'selective prosecution' - survey

Yoursay: Dr M’s popularity torn between two surveys

Why the peninsular malays only think of malay agenda and unity in islam? Don't they know that muslims is the minority in east malaysia? Darn ignorant!!

The survey only shows that we have too many people with retarded brain in this country who rather support thieves who continue to steal from them in the name of race and religion. I am now convinced that this is a truely bodohland with no future.

PH government, note that without the nons 95% support in ge14, verses only 25% support from melayo, you cannot win. So ph must take good care of the 25% melayo and the 95% of the nons. They rest can go fly kite. PH better start the employment more of nons in the government sector to balance the heavily lopsided 1race1religion only situation. Keep doing that way will sure get 100% nons supports in ge15. We no need more than 25% of malayo support.

The best BM idiom "susah susah dahulu senang senang kemudian" should be incorporated into the gomen structure n processes and disseminated to the 60% lepak group. Do not forget sabah n Sarawak, no gomen can be formed without them.The 60% can syiok sendiri without Sabah n Sarawak.

The 62.p percent who agreed that non-Muslims now controlled the federal government must have either failed their mathematic in school or still in deep sleep since GE14. The fact is almost the entire government machinery from civil service to security forces and including Federal Ministers and Judicial positions are in the hand of Muslim-Malays. The Malay must lift their veil of ignorance.

That means Malay support for PH has gone up from 25 per cent on May 9 to 40 per cent. Those Malays unhappy with PH are sore losers in the Opposition.

The nature of Survey is such that the way the question is framed will determine to a certain extend the outcome your get. To be honest, nothing much have changed for the Malay. They have already enjoying the cream of Malaysia before GE14. Those who do not enjoy the cream has come to accept their "fate" and hoped for government's "batuan" and "Peruntukan". They will only experience the impact when their buying power increase or their cost of living decreases or their needs are met by a more efficient and professional government civil service and delivery system. These are not something that will change overnight or even after a few years let alone in 8 months! How do you judge or measure a government who is only 8 months old and compared it with the previous government who has had 60 years of governing the country without a break?! I call into question the purpose of the survey and their conclusion! Especially the need to assess the views of Malays on DAP, it is definitely calculated to incite and propagate a specific agenda. So, I question the surveyors' intention in posing those question. Is it relevant to the development and well being of Malaysia and Malaysians? Its professional sounding question is just front to encourage division and racialism, and majoring in the negatives. Why Don't these so called surveyors pose question to highlight how people daily needs, children schooling, access to services, health care, etc., and help the government improve on these instead of harping on imagery issues that actually does not impact on livelihood. Let's work towards a better Malaysia for everyone.

58.9 percent think that the federal government is being driven by a liberal agenda, versus 41.1 percent who disagreed. The Government should counter what they term as liberal and replace it with progressive to desctibe its position on liberalism since UMNO and PAS both have over time tried to pin this inappropriate description to draw moderate to conservative Malays away from HARAPAN. At 41.1 pc non believers, it does seem like HARAPAN needs to be more aggressive in countering such accusations effectively.

Please lah Malay Malaysian!! You want to be lead by someone who only care for their contracts and kickbacks? For so many years you had been lead by those rhetorics that only used your votes to enriched themselves. Look at the country now; beside shiok sendiri apa korang boleh bikin? Sorry I bash the entire group as I understand not all are naive as the general lots. It is open secret that the PH is not performing; but atleast we see some check and balance now. Look at this year CNY dinner and bonuses; many are complaining the splashing is over. Why?? Because no more sure win contract; simple as that. Try to evaluate from the other side of the picture; the changes now at the minimum will lead the country to a more healthy way of living instead continue to be fed. No free lunch lah wey!!!

GERALD LIM FANG JUN07:22 AM, 31 Jan 2019

The Malays I have spoken and overheard speaking are simply unhappy due to less handouts under this government of austerity! Unfortunately they do not realise that the country can become like Greece or Venezuela and go begging to the IMF if the national debt continued to rise ! Even now they have to know that cost of living is rising not only for Malays, but for all Malaysians especially the poor ! Stop gap handouts and measures will not rein in the spiraling of cost of living ! Want to survive , start thinking 'out of the box' of race, religion and culture !

These guys who did the survey could not do simple maths! Sigh!

Keep dreaming let see seminyih.

sylvia mckelvie06:51 AM, 31 Jan 2019

Why only carry out a survey amongst Malays on National issues. Again it will depend a lot on how questions were framed. For eg.after the devastating floods in Kelantan a few years ago more than 88 percent Malays stated that they want welfare aid rather than supporting Hudud.

Ceo Lim06:51 AM, 31 Jan 2019

U and your whole life only Najib. This has got nothing to do with Najib. Malays have their fear of DAP because of The years Dr M have made them their enemy. Now he is hand in glove with the very people he blamed n despised . Rural folks cannot understand that. They simple people.

sylvia mckelvie06:49 AM, 31 Jan 2019

DAP has done nothing but keep quiet.

sylvia mckelvie06:39 AM, 31 Jan 2019

But most of do.

sylvia mckelvie06:38 AM, 31 Jan 2019

Hope the PH govt takes heed and do something constructive.

Low Chen Hua06:11 AM, 31 Jan 2019

Is this the same think tank that predicted Barisan will win GE14 . So let’s leave it at that !

Rozanna Burhanudin06:08 AM, 31 Jan 2019

Opposition have succeeded in driving this idea into the Malay just because most dap ministers are the performers currently. So PH (Tun) must urgently make use of the tv and other media to correct this misconception Also for the DAP MPs and ministers ( including other Chinese ministers as well, ) especially LGE just work and talk less

John Brown05:59 AM, 31 Jan 2019

Respect should be given where it's due... Blanket bashing the PH gov doesnt help and it's not fair to them. While it's true that the victory of the 9 May 2018 belongs to the people, we can't ignore the hard, strategic work done and sacrifices by many PH leaders to provide that viable platform for the people to spectacular triuphm.....it takes time for the majority Malay to accept the new PH administration, this is a new frontier after all for many of them who has been growing up with the entitlement mentality..
