Unsurprisingly, the top 3 searched news topics are IPU (Air Pollution Index), Tanjung Piai (By-Election) and Belanjawan 2020 (Budget 2020).

Under the tech category, the #1 most searched device is the iPhone 11, followed by the Huawei P30 and P30 Pro. Strangely, there are no Samsung devices on the top 10 list and the Huawei Nova 3i which was launched in 2018 still manages to get the #5 spot. Newcomer Realme has also made it to the list at #9 with the Realme 5 Pro.

Google Malaysia has also a list of top searched individuals. The most searched person is Vanessa Angel, followed by Azmin Ali and in third place is Emma Maembong.

In the movies category, the top 3 terms are Joker, Captain Marvel and Avengers Endgame. Meanwhile, for music, the top 3 are Senorita, Mimpi and Memories. For TV Shows, our local content dominates the top 3 spots with Setelah Terlafaznya Akad, Nur 2 and Curi-Curi Cinta.

Google Malaysia Communications Manager of Consumer Products, Nadia Khan said “Malaysians continue to turn to Search for some of their most pressing questions. Just as how it helps us explore and discover a world of information, Search also gave us many ways to learn more about the past year.
