Summary. Malaysia's rural population faces barriers to digital access due to uneven infrastructure, high costs, and lack of locally relevant content. This study evaluates Kedaikom, a government-supported community telecenter program designed to bridge the digital divide. Survey results show that community telecenters successfully encourage rural ICT adoption, particularly among younger people and those with higher education, helping Malaysia progress toward its information society goals.
