From January to May 2026, a total of 1,047 stakeholders in Malaysia were invited to provide their opinions on the WBG’s work by participating in a Country Opinion Survey (COS). A list of potential participants was compiled by the WBG country team and the independent field agency. Participants were drawn from government institutions, bilateral or multilateral agencies, civil society organizations, the private sector, academia and research centers, and the media. Of these stakeholders, 247 participated in the survey.
24% response rate
This year’s survey results were compared to the FY23 Country Opinion Survey, which had a response rate of 5% (N=175). Comparing responses across Country Surveys reflects changes in attitudes over time, as well as changes in respondent samples, methodology, and the survey instrument itself. To reduce the influence of the latter factor, only those questions with similar response scales/options were analyzed. In FY26, there was a larger percentage of respondents from the private sector, but a smaller percentage from government principals and academia, who responded to the survey compared to the FY23 survey effort. These differences in composition across the two survey years should be considered when interpreting these comparisons.
The survey was conducted in English and is provided as related material.
