Similarly, Corner et al. (2011) reported that 71% of the UK population were either fairly or very concerned about climate change. It seems that the level of concern regarding global warming in Peninsular Malaysia is approximately equal to that in the population of the UK. The results of this study showed that the term “climate change” evoked different free associations among the Malaysian public.

Modeling results suggest that the cost of renewable energy has an indirect effect on attitudes towards using renewable energy through associated impacts on PU and PEOU. A possible explanation for this might be that Malaysia is among the nations with the highest fossil fuels subsidies. Subsidies for fossil fuels have resulted in market failure and made it difficult for renewable energy technologies to compete economically. The cost of producing and using renewable energy is therefore relatively expensive. Fig. 7 provides more details concerning fuel subsidies in Malaysia between 1990 and 2010. Note that in 2007, energy subsidies in Malaysia were the second largest in the ASEAN region (after Indonesia) and exceeded 8 billion USD.
