KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysia's Pakatan Harapan ruling coalition is fast losing the support of Malaysians in their 20s less than a year after taking power, a year-long study shows.

According to Kajidata, the decline was in tandem with sliding economic confidence in PH, from a score of 39.3 points recorded during the general elections in May 2018 to 32.8 just eight months later in December. "Our indicators now reveal that the youth, whom before GE14 were the most likely to support Pakatan Harapan have now become the group that is most likely to oppose it.

In contrast, young Malaysians' perception of the opposition Barisan Nasional, which was defeated by PH in the general election, has become more positive since September, Kajidata was cited by the Malay Mail as saying.
