What kind of prime minister do voters in Malaysia want to serve the country?.
Some want a person who thinks about the development of Malaysia while others want someone who is aware of things that are going on in the country.
They are unanimous on one thing. All want a prime minister who is honest and cares for the country’s progress and people’s wellbeing.

The prime minister should be a person holding a high office, like head of an administrative division or a diplomat who has represented the country before. We, the youth, hope that our future prime minister will prioritise development of the country.

The prime minister should have the capability to think about the country’s future growth. He should have five major virtues, namely, discipline, trustworthiness, courage, humaneness and intelligence. He should also pay attention to the development in Sarawak.

An effective prime minister maintains a positive outlook in a negative world. He should have faith in God, is also passionate about his job, values teamwork and has good social skills.

I want a prime minister who is full of integrity, bold, and firm in anything and everything that he or she does. I also want him to be free from corruption and aware of the issues faced by the people.

I would like Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob to be our prime minister again because I feel that he has not done much for Malaysia. The prime minister I want must be someone who is honest, knows what he or she is doing and serves the people well.

I want a prime minister who is tolerant, caring, humble and good at solving people’s problems. He or she can even help the poor to have food, give them education, healthcare and financial help. Poor people need a lot of support, not just free money giveaways all the time.
