Any which way to woo voters

PETALING JAYA: Social media platforms such as TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp are being fully exploited as politicians try to gain an edge over each other.

According to Datareportal, at the beginning of the year, Malaysia’s social media users were 91.7% of the total population.
