KUALA LUMPUR, March 20 — As the Indonesian maid “crisis” continues to play out, a survey confirms what many Malaysians have suspected: the Indonesians don’t really like us.
The survey, which will be released today by Australia’s Lowy Institute, shows that Malaysia, which was the most highly-regarded nation in the last survey done in 2006, has now dropped to 11th place in the list of 21 countries.
When asked which country posed a threat to Indonesia over the next 10 years, 63 per cent of respondents said Malaysia, followed by the US (49 per cent), China (39 per cent) and Australia (31 per cent).

The abuse of Indonesian maids by Malaysian employers led to the ban of new maids for Malaysia for two years and the dispute is yet to be resolved.
In contrast, Singapore seems to have gone up in favour and now ranks as “one of the most welcome sources of foreign investments.”
McRae is reported as saying Singapore has gone “from an already warm result to a very warm result.”
This shows, he said, that Singapore is “a significant investor in telecommunications and other sectors” and that although there have been tensions in the past, public opinion towards Singapore is positive.
