KUALA LUMPUR: Consumer confidence in the country has taken a hit as Malaysians continue to worry about the economic outlook, food prices and job security this year, according to a Nielsen survey.

This is two points below the global average of 94 points, says the latest Nielsen Global Survey on Consumer Confidence and Spending Intentions.
