Abstract

An exponential growth of information and communication technologies (ICTs) facilitated by a global convergence of computer networks and system revolution has resulted into an extensive use of Internet technologies. To be sure, the Government, through the Malaysian Parliament, has been aggressive in its initiative in providing the necessary environment to empower the MPs in ICT through various ICT platforms and technologies. This study discusses the impact of Internet technologies on MPs in Malaysia through official or nonofficial (personalize) means of communications. The findings showed that the Internet technologies are well accepted by the MPs and the continuance of use of ICT is positively correlated.
