Social media in Malaysia


In this Cafe Latte Chat, we bring together lawyer Syahredzan Johan, digital strategist Zara Kahan, senior social media strategist Niki Cheong, senior asset management analyst Kavilan Nakaswaram and Shahid Shayaa, who is former private secretary to Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Idris Jala. The chat was moderated by Star Online news editor Martin Vengadesan.

Martin: Prior to the 2008 elections, the Internet’s biggest social media influences were bloggers. Since then, Facebook and Twitter have become major players. Will social media use become even more influential? Is the impact positive or negative? Should people like Papagomo be able to say whatever they want with unrestricted freedom?
