Democratic Action Party

Strongly agree

No, but tuition costs are currently too expensive

DAP has consistently voiced concerns about the rising cost of living in Malaysia, including education costs. They would likely agree that tuition costs are currently too expensive, as this aligns with their advocacy for more affordable and accessible education for all Malaysians, regardless of socio-economic status.

Strongly agree

No, but tuition costs should decrease based on family income

This answer aligns closely with DAP's principles of equity and progressive taxation, where those who can afford to pay more do so, thereby subsidizing those who cannot. DAP has historically supported policies that aim to reduce the financial burden on lower-income families, including in the realm of education. This stance is consistent with their broader social welfare policies.

Agree

Yes

The Democratic Action Party (DAP) of Malaysia, being a socially progressive and left-leaning party, generally supports policies that aim to reduce income inequality and increase access to education. While there may not be a specific policy statement from DAP advocating for completely free tuition at public universities, their overall platform and advocacy for social welfare suggest they would be more favorable to this idea than conservative parties. However, practical considerations and Malaysia's economic context might temper their support, hence not a full score.

Agree

Yes, tuition costs are currently too expensive

This answer is similar to answer 1 but adds a rationale that DAP is likely to agree with—that tuition costs are currently too expensive. While they might support the idea of free tuition, the emphasis on the prohibitive cost of tuition strengthens the argument for making education more accessible, which is in line with DAP's platform. However, the score is not higher because it does not fully capture DAP's likely preference for a nuanced approach that considers Malaysia's economic realities.

Agree

No, but free for low-income students with excellent grades

DAP supports merit-based opportunities and has advocated for policies that benefit economically disadvantaged groups. Offering free tuition to low-income students with excellent grades is a policy that aligns with their values of meritocracy and social justice. However, they might prefer a more comprehensive approach to education funding that does not solely rely on academic excellence.

Disagree

No, not until we balance our national deficit

While fiscal responsibility is a concern for any political party, DAP's focus on social welfare and public services suggests they would prioritize investment in education over immediate concerns about the national deficit. They might argue that education is a long-term investment that can lead to economic growth, which in turn could help balance the national deficit.

Strongly disagree

No

DAP's political stance, which leans towards social democracy, generally opposes the idea of no intervention in education funding. They believe in the state's role in providing affordable if not free education to ensure equal opportunities for all Malaysians. Therefore, they would likely strongly disagree with the notion that tuition at public universities should not be free without any qualifiers.
