PETALING JAYA: It's been a year since the general election, but many of our politicians are still in full swing fighting foes and attracting supporters not just personally but online on social media channels including Facebook.'s analysis shows that 86% or 191 of the 222 Members of Parliament have active official Facebook pages maintained with regular updates, statements and other information.
The Internet Archive Website, used to gather earlier snapshots of the politicians' Facebook pages, offers only a rough image of the growth in"likes" for each of the politicians. That record goes to Anwar, whose official Facebook page contains a total of 6,274 postings since the page was set up on May 5, 2008 - three days before the country's 12th general election.
Najib's"Malu Apa Bossku" campaign, its rapid growth in popularity driven by the former prime minister's social media channels including his Facebook page, is another example."The number of likes is one indicator , but it is not necessarily a good one as it might be possible to manipulate this," said Dr Cassey Lee, Senior Fellow and Coordinator of the Regional Economic Studies Programme at the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute in Singapore.
Lee, who wrote a paper in 2017 - which studied the social media presence of Malaysian politicians - reckoned that it's possible that fake support would be a problem in the run-up to GE15.
Still not much action/work is done Come on doers, this is your time to shine!
