Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has cautioned that elevated public approval ratings should not breed governmental complacency, vowing to maintain momentum on reform and service delivery.

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has secured the highest approval rating at 52% in a new Merdeka Center poll, surpassing opposition figures including former Umno Youth chief Khairy Jamaluddin and Bersatu president Muhyiddin Yassin.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's approval rating has plummeted to 46.7%, falling below the 50% threshold for the first time since taking office in June 2025. Negative assessments now exceed positive ones, driven by election administration failures and party infighting.
