Geo-economics by #KhorReports. Malaysia's 14th General Election (#GE14 #PRU14): The first major mobile #SocialMedia influenced election?

Mobile broadband connections was accessed by 14% of the population in 2013 (13th General Election/ #GE13 #PRU13) and now that has risen to about 54% (based on reports released Jan 2014 and Jan 2018 by WAS).

While mobile social use was already at 44% in 2013, the geography and speed of connection was a limiting factor on messaging possibilities and reach versus traditional media.

Our diagram below shows the high speed geography for GE13 (pink-red) versus GE14 (light green). #Malaysia #GeneralElection #PoliticalEconomy #Politics
