Based on a nationwide survey, an affinity diagram was formed and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was applied to identify the main issues for implementation. Furthermore, the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) model was utilized to show the strength of relationships between the various challenges of Vision 2020 and twenty categories of suggestions obtained in the survey. The respondents were also asked to rank the nine strategic challenges of Vision 2020, and the results show the three most crucial Vision 2020 challenges: ‘Establishing a fully moral and ethical society’, ‘Establishing a united Malaysian nation made up of one Bangsa Malaysia (Malaysian nation)’, and ‘Creating a psychologically liberated, secure and developed Malaysian society’.
