Even though Malaysiakini report states the support from the community is the highest among the three communities at 68%, it actually reduced by 6%! And this is the smallest drop among the the biggest groups:

Indians 68% (down 6% from 74%)

Malays 64% (down 10% from 74%)

Chinese 36% (down 12% from 48%) (but high percentage of “don’t know”/’no response” answers).

Overall drop is 9%.

What could have cause the overall drop, and specifically the why lowest among the Indian community? Is it because of the publicity given to benefits announced for the Indian community? Perhaps other communities don’t feel they are getting the attention, so bigger drop among the others? How is the impact of Kg Buah Pala and cow head protest on the community support? Does the emergence of multiple Indian based parties affect the support level?
