KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 12 — An overwhelming eight out of 10 Malaysians polled said they oppose letting gays and lesbians marry legally here, a Pew Research Center’s survey on six countries in Asia showed.
On the flip side, only two countries surveyed saw the majority of respondents expressing support for same-sex marriages: Buddhist-majority countries Thailand and Cambodia . This appears to match the survey findings in other countries, where more than half of Buddhist respondents in Thailand , Cambodia and Singapore supported same-sex marriage being legalised. But Sri Lanka stood out with just 24 per cent of Buddhists polled being in support.
“Support for allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry is somewhat more common among Christians, but still no higher than 35 per cent in any of the countries studied,” the report said.
