A survey on Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's National Transformation 2050 (TN50) website seeks to gauge how much pride Malaysians have in various aspects of the country.
They are on economic development, socio-economic mobility, Malaysians’ friendliness, sporting achievements, food and heritage, natural wonders and performance at the global stage.
Survey takers can answer from "very negative or very not proud" to "very positive or very proud".
They can then elaborate on their answers in a questionnaire.
Other questions on the questionnaire include what Malaysians hope will be improved on in the next 50 years, as well as what rankings the country should be performing better at.
The survey is one part of a brightly coloured website tailored for the youth, which lays out a vision of what the world will be like in the future, as well as plans for TN50 programmes.
Among them is the TN50 'Conversation Series', which states: "You can use a brick to break, to hurt and to destroy. Or you can use a brick to build something."
The series will feature town hall sessions, surveys, networking groups and multimedia stories through which Malaysians can share their aspirations for the future.
Visitors to the website can also submit ideas for what should be included in the TN50 app, which is still in the works.
An example given by the site is to include a crowd-funding platform on the app.
Najib had while tabling Budget 2017 in October last year, unveiled TN50, stating that the time has come to “put the past aside”.
The prime minister stressed that his vision was a bottom-up approach, insisting on receiving input from the people.
He held the first town hall session on the transformation plan at Universiti Malaya last Thursday, although only selected students were allowed in.
Youth and Sports Minister Khairy Jamaluddin earlier rubbished claims that TN50 is to replace Vision 2020, laid out by the fourth prime minister, Dr Mahathir Mohamad.
Mahathir is now campaigning to oust Najib over allegations of corruption, giving rise to speculation that TN50 was to wipe out Mahathir's legacy.
Najib has consistently denied abusing public funds for private gains.
