Top 5 online media with elderly audiences in Malaysia

How do you reach out to the elderly audiences (say above 40, 50 years old) in Malaysia? In this article, we are listing local digital media with relatively elder followers.

This can be useful especially if you intend to promote and sell products or services to older people, like properties, investments, or even retirement plans.

For example, the property developer Mah Sing is sponsoring Astro’s The Golden Club show for a couple of years now. The elders might be buying properties not just for themselves, but can be for their children too.

You might be wondering who still watches Astro on TV but yes, the elder segment plus sports fans. All the media brands listed in this segment are under Astro, just so you know.

On a separate note, you can also consider popular online newspapers in Malaysia since many from the elder segment used to read print newspapers back in the day.

Without further ado, here are the popular online media with elderly audiences in Malaysia ranked by Facebook followers. All of them are Chinese media bar LITE (English).
