The last Government-set target for ICT penetration in 2010 for Malaysia was 50%. We were told at yesterday's Minggu IT 2012 held at Universiti Sains Malaysia in Kubang Kerian on 29 February 2012, that we have exceeded this target. From 2009 data published by SKMM, we have a population of 29.6 million people (Q3 2009) and 16 million Internet users (Q1 2009). This gives an Internet penetration of 54% (Q1 2009).

For Kelantan, the ICT peneration is still short of the targeted 50%; Kelantan has approximately 40-44% ICT penetration. So a lot of ICT work needs to be done for Kelantan in order to get it up to the targeted 50% so the population of Kelantan benefits from ICT.
