According to a study by a Singapore research university that was released this month, at least four times more students in Singapore and Vietnam are enthusiastic about the social situations in their respective countries.  ,
According to the study, 72.4 % of Singaporeans and 68.2 % of Vietnamis rate their political situation as “very good” or “good.” This is more than four times the 16.4 % of respondents in Thailand and Indonesia, who had positive opinions of their nation’s political position.
Among Malaysian and Filipino students, 31.9 per share and 25.9 per cent of responders viewed their national elections favorably.  ,
According to the survey of six Southeast Asian nations, the youths of Singapore and Vietnam were the most enthusiastic and content with their individual countries’ social systems, law enforcement, financial conditions, and economic agenda.
The Youth and Civic Engagement in Southeast Asia poll by ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute polled 3, 081 students aged 18 to 24 across Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines.  ,
The university has conducted the survey for the first time in the last two years, polling the students online between August and October.
According to ISEAS, the survey was conducted among students because there has been more youngsters activism on campuses over the years and students have played key roles in bringing about regime change in nations like Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines.
It wants to include all 10 Asian member countries, target rural and urban differences, and handle differences between level holders and non-degree holders in its second level of analysis. This is the first study in a three-year task.
