Merdeka Center Survey

This is the published results of a Merdeka Center Survey on the economic health of individuals according to race:

Question in the survey: What is the financial situation of your family?

(a) They have more than what they need to make ends meet: 14% Malays, 12% Chinese, 16% Indians

(b) They can make ends meet: 74% Malays, 51% Chinese 49% Indians.

(c) They occasionally struggled to make ends meet: 10% Malays, 26% Chinese, 29% Indians.

(d) Struggling to make ends meet: 2% Malays, 10% Chinese, 6% Indians.

Overall, confidence in Pak Lah and the govt remains strong...

Have we missed the picture ? - the non Malays seem to have to struggle, and yet they are said to be the people who dominate the economy ? Who actually is finding LIFE easier in the figures above ???

impressive and with some of them having multiple households/wives, they must be 2x, 3x or even 4x better off than the non malays.

but just like linus ( from peanuts ) with his security blanket, still hanging on to the nep...

What is a good lie?

When the government-related bodies use statistics to skew data their way to fool the masses.

Only 1,024 respondents out of some 11 million voters (sampling) speaks for itself. There is no need to comment further whether the survey is representative of the voters' population.

The survey is pure unadulterated bullshit.

Did they disclose how many people took part in the survey?

I mean apart from the UMXO, MCA and MIC members...

This Merdeka Center is no standard at all since their sample volume is too low.

You may treat their survey results as... JOKES :-))
