Main topic area: The digital divide between the younger and older generations in Malaysia to retrieve political information

Main problem identified: The discrepancy of political information received by the younger and older generations

Proposed solution(set): Educate the older generation on how to use the internet to access news

Proposed thesis: With only 16 percent of the Malaysia online population who are aged above 45 years old (“2013 Southeast Asia Digital Future in Focus”, as cited in Naidu, 2013), the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) should set up centres nationwide to provide services to educate the older generation on using the internet to increase their political participation online.

  1. Hi Shu Ning!!

    We think that your proposed thesis is generally coherent with your problem and solution proposed.
    However, maybe you can explain(or be clearer) what your statistic is trying to imply(that very little elderly are using the internet to increase their political participation online).

    Cheers!!
