“They want change but aren’t sure what they want. In fact, we found that most of the voters actually don’t know the functions of their local councillors and representatives,” Cenbet co-president Gan Sieu Peng told a news conference here at the release of its survey findings. “These are things where if we do not elevate our political maturity or literacy, it will be hard to improve ourselves,” Gan added.
Malaysians polled were asked six questions regarding the roles and responsibilities of the three levels of government. Only 19 per cent scored more than two-thirds on questions relating to roles of the various levels of government. Only 11 per cent pollsters aged between 18-29 knew the functions of the government. Those aged 30-39 came in at 21 per cent, 40-49 and 50-59 .
