Lecture Abstract:

INVOKE Malaysia has recently conducted a 100,000-respondent political survey, the first of its kind in Malaysia. Using this data, INVOKE will assess the impact of major political events such as GST, 1MDB, PAS leaving Pakatan Rakyat and the split of BERSATU from UMNO on voter sentiment. It will offer insights into the likely trajectory of the Malaysian political landscape for the next one to two years.
