It was stated that as the nation struggles to contain the epidemic, all segments of society are compelled to participate in the healing effort. Confidence is a critical component in eliciting a widespread reaction, namely the trust that ordinary people have in society’s top professions.

A new study by the public affairs department of Ipsos found that more Malaysians than ever before had interacted with the healthcare system, and doctors now outrank teachers as the profession they trust the most, according to Lars Erik Lie, the department’s assistant director of public affairs.

Another finding of the study was that politicians had the lowest level of public trust, with just 19% of Malaysians believing them reliable.

Ministers, at 24%, and ad executives, at 26%, have the second and third lowest trust ratings, respectively.

 Ipsos found the Malaysians believe that politicians are the least trustworthy of all professions, with a trustworthiness rating of only 10%. Ministers came in second, with a rating of 14%, while ad executives came in third with a rating of 15%.

It was also stated that the politicians, on the other hand, are the ones who are least trusted throughout the globe, including in Malaysia.

Like health care workers, government ministers are well-known, but they haven’t benefited from the public’s confidence as much, according to Lie’s analysis.
