JUNE 14 — As we present the results of our statistical analysis on public opinion in Malaysia regarding trust in government and media, we’d like to discuss the current situation of public opinion research in Malaysia and what we hope to achieve.

Post-election analyses typically materialise to explore voting patterns across various ethnic and age groups, based on the ethnic composition and stream distribution of each centre. In some cases, analyses would explore socioeconomic differences, comparing voting behaviours in urban centres versus rural areas.

In Malaysia, the history of public opinion surveys is weak, especially those published for public consumption. While the government does collect public opinion, this information is often for internal use and rarely shared with the public. While there are a handful of state-operated and independent think tanks that do conduct public opinion research, however, their reports which are made public often lack more in-depth analysis or remain internal.
