The “Malaysia’s Temperature Check” report which was launched today was a joint collaboration between UNDI18, Architects of Diversity & http://Vase.ai . Results from a nationwide survey via http://Vase.ai ’s online survey panel involving 1,027 Malaysians were used.
The report explores public opinions on hot-button issues on topics such as education (the teaching of Science & Mathematics in Malay, matriculation quotas), social policies, racial relations.
In this thread, I'm going to share selected findings from the report. I will also link the full report at the bottom of the thread for your own reading + BM thread. @UNDI18MY @aod_malaysia @vaseinsights @jasonweecw
