Abstract

When Perikatan Nasional (PN) came into power during the global pandemic, they gave financial aid such as incentives, monetary one-off supports and loan moratorium which the public deeply appreciates, but particularly the ones with lower socioeconomic status. It was believed that if Pakatan Harapan was still in power, there would not be as much financial aid as what PN has given. The research seeks to understand if there is a link between socioeconomic status and Malaysian youths’ perception on reform of government institutions in Malaysia. This is a mixed method study, where the survey questionnaire is used on the Google Forms platform in order for respondents to be able to answer it online. A total of 120 respondents were a part of this study. Due to the small population sample, the findings did not achieve the intended results. The data gathered has proven that despite the differences in socioeconomic background leading to different socioeconomic status, it is not definite that an individual with a lower socioeconomic status is only focused on surviving and prioritizes improving the economy due to livelihood issues. It is also the same in reverse, where just because an individual has a higher socioeconomic status, it does not mean that they prioritize reforming the government from the core, such as the parliament or governance. The research has proven that each individual has different opinions, and a higher or lower socioeconomic status is not necessarily a factor that affects their judgment.
