In terms of the media category for the Top 30 media, the majority belonged to General News (67%) while the remaining fell under Lifestyle (33%).

The highlight of the Malaysia Digital Media Report is the first-ever showcase of Dable’s Malaysian audience profile. Dable analyzes over 28 billion user data logs across Asia every month. Earlier this year, it took a deep dive into Dable’s Malaysia-generated data and found many interesting insights. Dable has the most diverse media network in Malaysia supporting publishers in Malay, Chinese, and English.
