Najib riding high with jobless M’sians
(Free Malaysia Today) – Unemployed Malaysians appear to be smitten with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, according to a recent survey which saw his popularity soar to 72% from 69% in April.
The interesting point in the Mederka Centre survey was that nearly half or 47% of the 1,028 Malaysians polled claimed that they were jobless.
Leading the pack of admirers was the Indian community, with a whopping 80% giving Najib the thumbs-up. Malays were second with 77% while the Chinese came in a predictable third with 58%.
Merdeka Centre said the respondents were randomly surveyed by telephone and the poll had a margin error of 3.1%.
The survey was carried out between May 6 and 16 this year, shortly after the two recent by-elections in Hulu Selangor and Sibu.
