Description
Summary:This study analyzes the perceptions of Malay and Chinese voters on the performance of their Members of Parliament (MPs) and their level of satisfaction with MPs in Bukit Katil and Kota Melaka parliamentary constituencies in Melaka. The data were collected through questionnaires from a stratified sample of 320 respondents of the two constituencies. In addition, references are made to books, journals, reports, and electronic sources. The data thus collected were analyzed by using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Program (SPSS). The study uses the framework developed by the National Democratic Institute. The study found that the residents of the two constituencies are not totally satisfied with their MPs even though they agreed on certain items. The six hypotheses which guided this thesis are confirmed. The study also found that age, education, income, occupation, and party affiliation of the respondents influence the evaluation of their MPs.
