Malaysians feel unsafe in the country

The majority of Malaysians who responded to a poll say that they feel unsafe in the country at the moment.

According to the Homes Ministry's website, 97% of 6,678 respondents to its poll said they did not feel safe due to the high crime rate.

More than half of the respondents formed this opinion because they or their family members were victims of crime while 36% of the respondents were influenced by news about crime.

Only 1% said they felt safe while the remaining percentage were uncertain.

The ministry’s website started a poll on Saturday to gauge the public’s views on the level of safety in the country and the Government’s performance in safe-guarding the people’s safety and security.
