Two in three Perakians say their income is enough, but they want more jobs, Institut Darul Ridzuan study shows

A study by Institut Darul Ridzuan (IDR) reveals that employment opportunities have become the primary concern for Perakians, surpassing the cost of living.

This shift indicates a growing public emphasis on job creation to enhance living standards and socioeconomic well-being.

The study found that most respondents view their income as sufficient, highlighting a generally positive outlook on household finances despite varying capacities.

Additionally, the research assessed public confidence in the state government's efforts, reflecting optimism regarding Perak's economic prospects.

IPOH, Oct 22 — A study by Institut Darul Ridzuan (IDR), conducted in conjunction with the Perak 2027 Budget, has found that employment opportunities have overtaken the cost of living as the main concern among Perakians.

IDR chief executive Dr Zulqarnain Mohamad said the shift reflected changing public perceptions of current needs, particularly efforts to improve living standards and socioeconomic well-being in the state.

“The shift also highlights the importance of creating more jobs to ensure people have a stable source of income and can improve their living standards,” he told a press conference after the IDR dinner with Perak media practitioners here last night.

He said various state government initiatives, including the Pasar Sejahtera Rakyat programme, had helped address the cost of living and positively impacted people at the grassroots level.

Zulqarnain said the study also found that 66.4 per cent of respondents considered their monthly income sufficient, while 58.7 per cent said they could set aside emergency savings.

The findings indicated a positive overall picture of household finances, although individual households had different financial capacities depending on their commitments and expenditure.

Zulqarnain said the study also assessed psychological capital to gauge public confidence in the future and the state government’s ability to improve living standards, with the latter scoring 3.96 out of five, reflecting positive views on Perak’s socioeconomic prospects.

“That confidence must be backed by sustained efforts from all parties, including the state government, to expand job opportunities, increase incomes and improve the well-being of the people of Perak,” he said. — Bernama

达鲁里兹安研究所 (IDR) 的一项研究表明，就业机会已成为霹雳州居民最关心的问题，超过了生活成本。

这一转变表明公众越来越重视创造就业机会，以提高生活水平和社会经济福祉。

该研究发现，大多数受访者认为自己的收入足够，这表明尽管家庭经济能力各不相同，但他们对家庭财务状况总体上持积极态度。

此外，该研究还评估了公众对州政府工作的信心，反映出公众对霹雳州经济前景的乐观态度。

怡保，10 月 22 日讯——达鲁里兹安研究所 (IDR) 为配合霹雳州 2027 年财政预算案而进行的一项研究发现，就业机会已经超过生活成本，成为霹雳州居民最关心的问题。

印尼发展局首席执行官祖尔卡纳因·穆罕默德博士表示，这一转变反映了公众对当前需求的看法正在发生变化，特别是为改善该州的生活水平和社会经济福祉所做的努力。

“这一转变也凸显了创造更多就业机会的重要性，以确保人们拥有稳定的收入来源，并能够改善他们的生活水平，”他昨晚在与霹雳州媒体从业人员共进晚餐后举行的新闻发布会上表示。

他表示，包括人民繁荣市场计划在内的各项州政府举措，帮助解决了生活成本问题，并对基层民众产生了积极影响。

祖尔卡纳因表示，该研究还发现，66.4% 的受访者认为他们的月收入足够，而 58.7% 的受访者表示他们可以存下应急储蓄。

调查结果显示，家庭财务状况总体良好，但各个家庭的财务能力因其承诺和支出而异。

祖卡纳因表示，该研究还评估了心理资本，以衡量公众对未来的信心以及州政府改善生活水平的能力，后者得分为 3.96 分（满分 5 分），反映出人们对霹雳州社会经济前景的积极看法。

他说：“这种信心必须建立在各方，包括州政府，持续努力的基础上，以扩大就业机会、增加收入并改善霹雳州人民的福祉。”——马新社
