The Development of Ict and Its Political Impact in Malaysia

Abstract

This study aims to identify the ways in which the Malaysian Government seeks to develop the country using Information Communication Technology (ICT) to be competitive in the globalization era. It also aims to evaluate the extent of the development of ICT's ability to empower the Malaysian community by enhancing their participation in politics. Through ICT products, the community not only follows the development of the ICT revolution but also creates a knowledge society and helps to boost the quality of life of communities by participating in politics. As such it enables the transformation of Malaysian politics, especially in elections.
