Although more Malaysians are spending time online during the pandemic, it doesn’t mean that they are becoming Internet addicts, says clinical hypnotherapist Ko Teik Yen.

Ko believes that the added time spent online can be because of other factors such as working from home, e-learning, online shopping, or social networking because people aren’t able to go out during the movement control order (MCO) and conditional MCO.
