Majority of Malays unhappy with Pakatan but have hope, says study

FIVE months after Pakatan Harapan took over Putrajaya, nearly 60% of Malays were dissatisfied with the new government’s performance, a joint survey by pollster Ilham Centre and think-tank Penang Institute showed.

The survey of 2,614 Malay respondents in the country, including Sabah and Sarawak, found that a high number did not believe that the government was serious about the “Malay agenda”, including upholding Malay rights and Islam as the official religion.
