Malaysia has some of the slowest internet speeds in the world according to a 2012 report. 50% of Malaysians experience slow internet connections below 2 Mbps, which decreases work productivity by 50%. While Telekom Malaysia has introduced fiber optic Unifi connections, speeds are still slower than Singapore and unaffordable for many. Internet is particularly slow in rural areas due to insufficient broadband options and low signal quality. High costs are needed to implement fiber optics in Malaysia, making internet plans expensive yet still slow. Improving rural connectivity and reducing costs could help address Malaysia's internet speed issues.

3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
O According to a 2012 report by Google, Malaysia was listed among the
slowest countries in the world for loading web pages on desktop
computers as well as mobile computers. Malaysia, has an average Web
page loading speed on desktops of 14.3 seconds. Malaysia was named the
world’s fifth slowest, even more plodding than the connection speeds of
nations like Colombia, Argentina and Peru. Despite the advertised high-
speed internet, most users in Malaysia experiencing either slow or good
enough internet speed. Malaysia is the first country which has the slowest
internet connection that has 16% internet connection below the speed of
256 kbps and 34% of internet connection has the speed from 256 kbps to
2 mbps, which is very slow. This means 50% of Malaysian is using slow
internet connection. This speed of internet has caused the efficiency of
people whose work resolves around internet to decrease drastically by
50%. To make the situation worse, people in Malaysia spent more time
loading page than time surfing the internet. Although fast speed of
internet is one of the criteria in vision 2020, which Malaysia is proceeding
to, but today Malaysia is listed among the top 10 countries that has the
slowest internet speed after Indonesia and Kazakhstan at the 8th and 9th
place respectively.

4. In Malaysia, the speed of internet connection is very slow especially
in rural area. This cause the villagers are not exposed to the
technology. Malaysia topped four out of five categories—
differentiated by network speeds—covering Ethernet broadband
monthly rental and installation costs. It was the second highest in the
fifth category, revealed the study. In Malaysia, when it comes to
internet speed, you get what you pay for. Expensive and affordable
price burdened students and officer workers, therefore, they tend to
pay the cheaper prince. Hence, they receiving slow internet
speed. This show that Malaysia has the slowest internet connection.
This problem need to be solved now and immediately. This is because
to increase the efficiency of people working around internet
everyday for example the government. Besides, to increase and
improve the reputation of Malaysia so that people will know us
(Malaysia) by having the fastest internet connection instead of the
slowest internet connection. By having fast internet connection, it
will increase the work productivity as people able to do their work
effectively and efficiently without any internet connection problem.
So, it is vital for the internet connection to be improved as it
contributes a lot to society and one’s life.
