Najib seen as better leader than Anwar
- 9 years ago
INTERVIEW Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak is viewed more favourably as a leader in the public eye compared to Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim.
Pollster Ibrahim Suffian of Merdeka Centre attributed this to effective use of the mainstream media to prop up Najib's image.
The premier's approval rating stood at a strong 69 percent as at last December, he said.
"If you ask me who the public thinks can do a better job, it's more likely they will choose Najib. There is more news about Najib doing things and a lot of the news is very positive.
"So they have a more positive view of Najib as opposed to Anwar. (Perceptions of Anwar) in the mainstream media are burdened by one legal predicament after another. People are accusing him of this and that on an almost daily basis."
