Merdeka Center poll: 73pc of Malaysians say economy is top issue, Anwar gets 55pc approval rating
KUALA LUMPUR, June 26 — A total of 73 per cent of Malaysian voters identified economic issues as the biggest problem facing the country, according to a new mid-term survey by Merdeka Center on the performance of the Madani administration. According to the center's 'National Survey Highlights May 2025' report, when respondents were asked to name their top concerns, they pointed to inflation (33 per cent), economic growth (13 per cent), corruption (seven per cent), Also cited were job opportunities (seven per cent), and issues related to Malay rights and fair treatment of all races (seven per cent). Concerns over racial issues and public safety were comparatively low, at just three per cent each. 'Concerns over instability have evaporated, but there is a slight rise in [concerns regarding] identity politics (protection of Malay rights),' said the center. Leadership and governance ratings Despite these concerns, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim's approval rating stood at 55 per cent, up from 53 per cent in December 2024. A further 36 per cent expressed dissatisfaction, while nine per cent were neutral. According to the centre, Anwar's ability to maintain a two-thirds majority in Parliament and provide political stability was credited for easing public anxiety over governance. Satisfaction with the overall performance of the government was evenly split, with 50 per cent expressing satisfaction and 48 per cent dissatisfaction. 'Public sentiments on the direction of the country shows 50 per cent of the voters surveyed think the country is headed in the wrong direction (compared to 61 per cent one year ago), while the number of voters that think the country is heading in the right direction improved to 43 per cent compared to 29 per cent in June 2024. 'The major reasons for the wrong direction remain focused on the trajectory of the national economy and the performance of the current administration,' the survey said. Demographic breakdown of public sentiment Among those who believed the country was heading in the wrong direction, 68 per cent were Indian respondents, followed by 55 per cent Malay and 43 per cent Chinese. According to Merdeka Center, by age group, those aged 51 to 60 made up the highest percentage of respondents who believed the government was on the wrong track, at 59 per cent. Meanwhile, younger respondents aged 21 to 30 were more optimistic, with 54 per cent saying the country was heading in the right direction. Macroeconomic trends 'In terms of the economy, government data indicates that inflation has cooled to just 1.4 per cent in March 2025 — a three-year low — and economic growth hit 4.4 per cent in the first quarter. The government's minimum wage hike to RM1,700, combined with festive cash aid for civil servants and ongoing fuel subsidies, has helped ease some public frustration over the cost of living. 'While the survey continues to show that the public's top concerns remain the economy, the absence of price shocks despite the withdrawal of diesel fuel subsidies in 2024, has helped ease sentiments,' said the center. The survey was carried out by the Merdeka Center between May 12 and 23, 2025, to gauge voters' perceptions of current developments. A total of 1,208 registered voters were surveyed, comprising 52 per cent Malay, 29 per cent Chinese, seven per cent Indian, six per cent Muslim Bumiputera, and six per cent non-Muslim Bumiputera (from Sabah and Sarawak). Respondents were interviewed via fixed line and mobile telephones, selected through random stratified sampling across age group, ethnicity, gender, and state constituency.

Court stays order to freeze RM758.2mil assets linked to Daim's widow
Naimah Khalid, the widow of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin, is also seeking to intervene in another MACC application to freeze assets in Singapore. (Bernama pic) KUALA LUMPUR : The High Court here has stayed its earlier ex parte order to freeze assets in London worth £132 million (about RM758.2 million) belonging to Naimah Khalid and her family. Justice Azhar Abdul Hamid will hear the application by the widow of former finance minister Daim Zainuddin to intervene in that case on July 9. The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission had applied to freeze the assets, claiming they were potentially linked to offences under Section 4(1) of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001. The London assets include two commercial buildings worth £55.2 million, five luxury residences valued at £77.1 million, and a bank account held under the Ilham Foundation. A separate court also fixed Aug 1 to hear Naimah's application to intervene in MACC's ex parte bid to freeze over RM544 million worth of investment funds belonging to her, her family and associates in Singapore. Justice K Muniandy set the date after hearing submissions from deputy public prosecutor Mahadi Abdul Jumaat and Naimah's counsel, senior lawyer Gurdial Singh. Mahadi told the court that MACC sought to freeze 12 investment accounts believed to contain funds derived from Malaysian sources that were never declared to local authorities. 'The total of these movable assets is over RM544 million or RM544,674,050.97, to be exact. They are in US dollars and pounds sterling. 'These assets have to be blocked to prevent the risk of them being disposed of,' Mahadi said. However, Gurdial said that such an order must not be issued without allowing those affected to be heard. 'If you are going to prohibit that person, then the person must be involved to respond, to say whether or not that prohibitory order could or should be made, and whether there is a basis for the making of that order. 'Otherwise, it is a breach of natural justice because you are not giving them a chance to be heard with regard to their property, and this is not a small amount of assets. It's worth over RM544 million,' he said. Naimah, who is currently facing an asset declaration charge, is accused of failing to declare her ownership in various companies, several plots of land here and in Penang, and two vehicles.

High Court grants stay on £132 million asset freeze for widow of late Daim Zainuddin, pending further hearings
KUALA LUMPUR, June 23 — The High Court today allowed an application by Toh Puan Na'imah Abdul Khalid, the widow of the late Tun Daim Zainuddin, for a stay of its ex-parte order to freeze assets belonging to her and her family worth £132 million in London by the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC). The assets comprise two commercial buildings located at St Mary Axe and One Crown Court; three luxury residences at Bryanston Square, Bryanston Mews and Lancaster Gate; two residential units in Gloucester Place; and a bank account at CAF Bank Limited (UK), allegedly held under The Ilham Foundation. Judge Datuk Azhar Abdul Hamid granted the stay after allowing Na'imah's application, who was represented by counsel Datuk Dr Gurdial Singh Nijar. The court fixed July 9 to hear Na'imah's application to intervene in the main proceedings relating to the freezing of the assets. On June 3, the same court had allowed the MACC's ex-parte application to freeze the said assets under Section 53 of the Anti-Money Laundering, Anti-Terrorism Financing and Proceeds of Unlawful Activities Act 2001 (AMLATFPUAA 2001). In a separate High Court today, Judge K. Muniandy fixed August 1 to hear Na'imah's application to intervene in MACC's separate ex-parte application to freeze 12 investment accounts in Singapore, allegedly owned by Na'imah, her family and associates, with a total value over RM544 million. Earlier, Deputy Public Prosecutor Wan Nur Iman Wan Mohd Afzal requested the court to allow MACC's ex-parte application to freeze the said assets, following findings that the assets had not been declared. 'The total value of these movable assets exceeds RM544 million, consisting of investments in USD and pound sterling. Therefore, we request that this application be heard, and these assets be frozen to prevent the risk of disposal,' she said. On May 22, MACC Chief Commissioner Tan Sri Azam Baki said eight investigation papers were opened based on new information received from external agencies regarding the assets owned by Daim, his family and proxies. Azam said the latest information indicated that the assets owned by Daim, his family and associates were not declared to MACC during the 2023 investigation. — Bernama
