KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 17 — Putrajaya’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis was rated negatively by Malaysians respondents in a recent regional survey, with 51.8 per cent labelling the government’s response as “poor” or “very poor”.

The perception over the government’s response also deteriorated sharply, with 24.4 per cent of respondents rating it “very poor” for the 2022 report by the Singapore-based Asean Studies Centre at ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, compared to 0.9 per cent in the 2021 report.

In comparison, just 10.4 per cent of respondents rated the response as “well” and 22.2 per cent said it was “adequate” in 2022.

This was also a decline compared to the result in 2021 when there had been 14.5 per cent for “well” and 40.2 per cent for “adequate”.
