It’s high time to reclaim our lives


I USED to have a Twitter account. I don’t have a Facebook or Instagram account. I use Google and spend time on YouTube. The only social media platform I am using now is WhatsApp and even that is limited to family members and friends. I am a member of 10 WhatsApp groups.

Malaysia ranks in the top five globally in social media penetration, the highest in the region. Out of a population of 31.8 million, there are 25.08 million Internet users, or 79% of the population. There are 24 million active social media users in the country, or 75% of the population.
