KUALA LUMPUR, July 14 — Selangor's Malay voters polled in a survey saw 63 per cent of them saying they feel their rights are being threatened, while 87 per cent said they did not know of the government's measures to bring down the cost of living.
These were the findings of the “Selangor Malay Only Public Opinion Survey” carried out by Endeavour-MGC, which polled 1,068 Malay voters from June 12 to June 18. Selangor reportedly has 1.9 million Malay voters.
In a report by news portal Astro Awani on the survey findings, the survey asked these Malay voters if they “think that your rights in Malaysia are being threatened by others”.
Astro Awani said 63 per cent agreed without saying “who” or “what” was threatening their rights, while 35 per cent said “no” and two per cent said they don't know or have no opinion.
Astro Awani's report also included charts from the survey findings, where 49 per cent were extremely concerned and 40 per cent were concerned about the impact of inflation on their personal finances, followed by 11 per cent who were slightly concerned.
Another chart showed 87 per cent saying they were not aware of any government policies or initiatives aimed at curbing inflation or reducing the cost of living, while the remaining 13 per cent said they were aware.
According to Astro Awani, the survey on the 1,068 Malay voters was conducted in all 56 state seats in Selangor, with half of them male and half of them female, with the margin of error being 3.0 per cent with a 95 per cent confidence for each respondent.
For the 1,068 Malay voters polled, 45 per cent are from the B40 income category with income levels below RM4,850, 40 per cent from the M40 middle-income category (RM4,850 to RM10,959), while the remaining 15 per cent were from the T20 income category (above RM10,959).
