[superadmin]

KUALA LUMPUR – Over two-thirds of Malaysian voters have given 10th prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim a positive rating in a survey carried out during his second month in power following the 15th general election.

The survey carried out by the Merdeka Centre for Opinion Research concluded with Anwar’s approval rating standing at 68%, and only 20% of the voters reporting dissatisfaction with his performance as prime minister at that moment in time.

Some 54% voters reported as being satisfied at the performance of the new unity federal government, while 25% reported dissatisfaction.

“In our opinion, the survey results show a Malaysian electorate that is keen to put the instability that had mired the country’s politics in the past, and move on to provide room for the new leadership to prove themselves,” the pollster said in a statement today.

“While many accept the unity government, the public is also reserving their assessment on the new government.
