According to a survey conducted by Ipsos on predictions for global issues in 2019, 62 percent of Malaysians believed it was likely that people in Malaysia would be more tolerant of each other in 2019. Malaysian society and politics have long been divided into ethnic and religious lines. However, the recent election of a new government formed by a coalition of different ethnic parties could be a reason for the optimism of having a more tolerant society in 2019.
