Media Statement: IDEAS seeks answers over repeated changes to ECRL project and calls for transparency

The Merdeka Centre's latest survey shows Malaysians are having a growing hesitation towards the concept of liberalism. The survey, "Perceptions Towards Liberalism in Malaysia", shows that perceptions towards liberalism as a 'bad concept' for Malaysia has increased from 22% to 42% between 2016 to 2020.

From the survey, breaking down the respondents by socio-economic status gets us to striking notes - Such as that 65% of Malay respondents believed liberalism was a bad concept, 62% and 66% of Chinese and Indians respectively believed it was a good concept. Likewise, a higher proportion of rural to urban respondents (50% to 28%) believed liberalism was a negative concept.

Join our webinar where the Senior Research Manager of Merdeka Center, Tan Seng Keat, will present and discuss their findings!
