Trust level in government drops http://www.thesundaily.my/news/957087 PETALING JAYA (Feb 13, 2014): The trust level of Malaysians in their government took a 6% drop from last year to 54%, the Edelman Trust Barometer revealed. This, in fact, was the big news in this year's report – the collapse in trust in governments was seen in 17 of the 27 countries surveyed, with Singapore and Hong Kong showing a fall of 7% and 18% respectively. The barometer surveyed 1,000 respondents from the general population, and 200 from the "informed" public (college-educated people above 25 years old and belonging to the top 25% household income group) in Malaysia. Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) remain at the top with 75% expressing trust in them, despite a 1% reduction compared to last year. Malaysians' trust in businesses saw a significant increase from 63% last year to 72% in 2014, while trust in the media saw a 1% reduction to 59% this year. Edelman Malaysia managing director Raymond Siva said trust is a forward building attribute, which means the country can either improve or lose trust. He used the Malaysian government's trust level as an example, where in 2012 only 49% of respondents gave positive answers, which shot up to 60% in 2013, and then down again to 54% this year. "It may be because in 2012 the government did many things right before the 13th General Election like repealing the Internal Security Act (ISA) and amending the Printing Presses and Publications Act (PPPA). "That was reflected in the increased trust level in 2013 but after GE13, it went on the decline again," said Siva. The survey also showed that the public has a high level of trust in the internet as a source of information, much more so than the traditional media.
