"On 8th March 2008, Malaysia's electoral upset unfolded at a glacial pace on government-owned television channels.

It was faster and did not fight shy of trumpeting the Opposition s excellent showing"(The Economist, 10 March 2008). "On May 5, 2013, Malaysiakini.com reached 4.3 million readers on election night, and there were 1.3 million hits on the portal s mobile version.

Such growth and sophistication is helping to develop additional democratic spaces in Malaysia, and may mobilize the next stage of more inclusive democratic participation in the country (Chinnasamy, 2013).
