INTRODUCTIONThe first mass media in Malaysia was the newspaper, produced back in 1806 in Penang, followed later by publication of magazine in 1817. Malaysia then had taken a further step by introducing radio broadcasting in 1930 and television broadcasting in 1963. To be in line with other developing countries, Malaysian government had taken a wise step in bringing the internet technology to the country in 1987 (Ujang, 2000; Samah etal, 2011; Shaffril etal., 2010).
