On April 2, we have started an online survey that aimed to gauge the level of public awareness regarding power generation in Malaysia. There were a total of 10 questions separated into two parts; 3 questions for Part I and the next 7 for Part II.
We have received exactly 76 responses by the time we collected the results on April 27, 2012. The followings are the summary of responses for each question asked.

| Summary of responses for Part I - Question #1. |
From 76 responses, only 3 of them were not aware of the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases emissions coming from the current Malaysian power generation industry. Here we can stipulate that maybe some of our respondents were from outside of Malaysia.

Based on Question #2 and #3, from 76 responses, only 5 of them were not aware of how today's electricity demand is highly determined by the fossil fuel supply, and 34 out of 76 responses believed that current methods of generating electricity wouldn't be able to meet the ever rising electricity demand in Malaysia. Noted here that most of them agreed that Malaysia has to come up with another way to generate electricity as we need to stop depending on fossil fuels.
In Part II, questions (from Question #4 to #8) were constructed in a way that would promote better understanding among Malaysians on why we should start considering nuclear power as one of the alternatives in power generation industry.

Question #9 was about getting to know how respondents viewed the idea of nuclear power generation in Malaysia. It appears that nuclear waste disposal was rated most as 'highly relevant' concern as compared to many others.

Question #10 was the tiebreaker; now that respondents had seen the bright side of nuclear power and had understood why nuclear power is another alternative worth to be looked upon, respondents were asked on whether they would be supportive towards the development of nuclear power plant in Malaysia.

Clearly, 54 out of 76 responses agreed to support the efforts.
