Hi,

If you use <apex:inputfield> and <apex:outputfield>, the saved values of the multi-select picklist are easily shown.

The prefilled values are separated by semicolons ( ; ).
  
public class TestPage {
    public TestAll__c ta {get;set;}
    public PageReference pageButton () {
        system.debug('test:' + ta.picklist_multi__c);
        return null;
    }
    public TestPage() {
        ta = new TestAll__c();
        ta.picklist_multi__c = 'value1;value2;value5';  // prefilled values
    }
}
  
<apex:page controller="TestPage" >
    <apex:form>
        <apex:pageBlock>
            <apex:pageBlockButtons>              
                <apex:commandButton value="test" action="{!pagebutton}" />   
            </apex:pageBlockButtons>
            <apex:inputField id="test" value="{!ta.picklist_multi__c}" />      
        </apex:pageBlock>
    </apex:form>            
</apex:page>
