Poll: 43pc of Malaysians think country headed in wrong direction

KUALA LUMPUR: Close to one year after the 14th General Election, Malaysians believe the country is moving in the wrong direction, as their main worries shift from corruption to day-to-day issues like crime and cost of living, says an independent market research firm.

Ipsos, in its ‘What Worries The World’ survey, found that from June to July last year, Malaysians who believe that the country was heading in the wrong direction was at 25%.
