An overwhelming number of Malaysiakini’s English-language and Bahasa Malaysia readers have expressed their trust in former prime minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad.

However, the same cannot be said for the news portal's Chinese-language readers who expressed some reservations.

In a Malaysiakini poll titled “Do you trust Mahathir”, 75 percent of 11,200 respondents who took part in the Malay-language version of the poll expressed their trust in Mahathir upholding Pakatan Harapan’s agenda of reform, if it wins federal power while 69 percent of 8,300 English-language readers who voted, answered in the affirmative.
