KUALA LUMPUR: Barisan Nasional will increase its use of social media and the Internet to reach out to the people in order to maintain their support for the coalition.

Barisan chairman Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said there was an information gap as many people were not fully aware of what the coalition and its components have been doing for the people.
