Let's be honest — we're all glued to our screens these days. Whether it's for work, study, shopping, or just mindless scrolling to pass the time (no judgment here), websites have become an inseparable part of daily life in Malaysia. But have you ever wondered which websites Malaysians just can't stop visiting?
Today, let's dive into the Top 5 most visited websites by Malaysians — based on recent web traffic data — and chat a little about why they're so popular.
1. Google.com
No surprise here, right?
Google is practically the "starting point" of the internet for most Malaysians. Whether it's checking the latest football scores, hunting for the best chicken rice in town, or looking up "how to apply cuti umum 2025", Malaysians rely heavily on Google.
In fact, many of us type website names into Google instead of the address bar. Admit it — you've done it too!
Why Malaysians love it:
2. YouTube.com
If Google is our brain, YouTube is definitely our heart and soul.
From karaoke sessions to "How To Repair Aircond DIY" tutorials, Malaysians are obsessed with videos. YouTube is where we learn, laugh, cry, and sometimes even fall asleep to calming rain sounds.
Interestingly, Malaysia has a thriving community of YouTubers too — from lifestyle vloggers to food reviewers — so it's no wonder traffic here is through the roof.
Why Malaysians love it:
3. Facebook.com
Even with newer platforms like TikTok rising fast, Facebook still holds a strong grip on Malaysians.
It's the place for everything — birthday wishes, drama in community groups, selling pre-loved items, and endless streams of funny aunty videos. Businesses also heavily use Facebook to promote their services, especially during mega sales.
You might hear people saying, "Eh, send me on Facebook lah!" more often than exchanging emails nowadays.
Why Malaysians love it:
4. Shopee.com.my
Shopee isn't just a shopping platform anymore — it's a lifestyle.
Where else can you buy a phone, a RM1 packet of Maggi, and a new gaming chair all in the same cart? Plus, Malaysians love a good sale, and Shopee delivers with 9.9, 11.11, and 12.12 mega discounts (and those addictive voucher codes).
Some people even log in daily just to collect coins and watch Shopee Live shows.
Why Malaysians love it:
5. TikTok.com
If you thought TikTok was only for Gen Z, think again.
Malaysians of all ages are on TikTok now, from teenagers doing dance challenges to uncles sharing fishing tips.
TikTok's short, addictive videos make it perfect for quick entertainment during a lunch break or while stuck in traffic (not while driving, please!).
Interestingly, TikTok is also becoming a search engine itself. Need a café recommendation? Some Malaysians now search TikTok before Google!
