Abstract
This study examined how the Malays perceived their body image, self-esteem, and popularity in the realm of social media. This study used a qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews with two ethnic Malays. The result discovered that both participants had a fairly positive body image and were satisfied with their physical appearance. Even though there were some things they thought were not ideal, they still appreciated their body shape and understood that no one’s physical appearance is perfect. The views of the two participants regarding body image were quite positive and were one of the predictors of their level of self-esteem, but self-esteem itself is how a person evaluates and views themselves as a whole, and does not focus on physical appearance only.
 Keywords: Malay, Body Image, Self-Esteem, Popularity, Social Media
