Abstract

Examining social media users' political attitudes offers a vital subject for investigation, as news dissemination and political discussion increasingly depend on this platform.Drawing on the existing studies, the researchers strive to clarify the common denominator between social media use and Malaysian political attitudes.The data utilized in this study is derived from a survey questionnaire that was sent to social media users in Malaysia.The questions covered various aspects of political engagement, efficacy and trust: ultimately, they can help determine the respondent's motivations, actions and opinions regarding the area of politics in Malaysia.By explaining this scenario, the results of this study contribute to a deeper understanding of how social media affects political discourse and participation in Malaysia among users and stakeholders regarding politics in Malaysia.The implications of this study are significant for policymakers, political campaigners, and social media platforms, as the findings can inform strategies to enhance political engagement, foster democratic participation, and improve the overall quality of political communication on social media.
