t is obviously shown that students are the majority group who did answer the

questionnaire being promoted in social media platform compared to other group of

profession. t is resulted from the dependency of students to the internet and social

networ, channel for their studying.

The fourth chart above represent the sources of biomass information of male

and female respondents. Twelve male respondents claim that they get the information

of biomass from mass media. irect information in the bar chart above represent

information directly get through lecture class$ seminar3course3campaign and

conversation with friends and family. 4ine female respondents answer the

questionnaire that they get the information from this source. )s for male$ only

respondents are e(pose to biomass materials through direct information. )s for mi(

mode of information sources$ there is 7 female and 1 respondents. Mi( mode means

that the respondents get the information through printed and online articles$ radio$

advertisement$ by attending seminar$ courses$ and lecture class or by conversation

with acquaintances. There is also respondents who never heard about biomass and

the evident can be deduce from the chart by referring to third bar of the fourth chart.

There is male and 2 female respondents who never heard about biomass.

Mass media being the highest information source in total of female and male

is an evident that Malaysian really depending on mass media as their source of

information. )s mention by )gner "og in her article of +ulture 'election$ 1999$

The mass media have an important role in modern democratic society as the main

channel of communication. The population relies on the news media as the main

source of information and the basis on which they form their opinions and voting

decisions.

The above chart shows the respondents numbers who have heard and they also ,now

to some e(tend about biomass. The bar chart representing the data by comparing

male and female awareness. t is very clear statistic showing that students has more

3


4/6

e(posure to biomass rather than other profession category of the respondents. There

is 12 male and 12 female respondents who not only heard about biomass$ but also

has e(tended ,nowledge about it. Meanwhile$ there is only % female and 2 male

e(ecutive that ,nows further about biomass. "or non*e(ecutive$ the number of male

respondents is person and 1 female respondents. 0ther types of profession shows

that only 1 male and 2 female respondents has further ,nowledge and awareness on

biomass. "or lecturer or teacher$ only 1 male and no female respondent come from

this type of profession.

)gain from chart !$ we found that student are the group of respondent to has

heard about biomass and have further ,nowledge on it compared to other group of

the respondent. This might be because the biomass has been e(posed to them incurriculum syllabus.

The pie chart above represent the percentage of male and female of

Malaysian who agree that biomass could help the development of various sectors in

Malaysia. The sectors are farming$ construction$ plantation and factory. "ifty two

percent of the respondent is male and %%- is female and only %- of the respondent

who do not agree with the statement mention as the title.

The above bar chart represent the responses gathered through the

questionnaire as,ing the level of awareness on biomass implementation amongMalaysian. The bar chart shows that male and 2# female respondents do agree

that Malaysian has low level of awareness regarding biomass. They did agree that

Malaysian is do not e(posed to biomass information due to lease e(posure from mass

media$ not much information available$ they do not aware of the importance of

biomass and Malaysian is very much depending on fuels energy. n percentage$

92.#- of the respondents agree that Malaysia has low level of biomass

implementation. 5owever$ there is male and 2 female respondent who did not

agreed that Malaysian how low level of biomass awareness.

The bar chart above is deduced from respondents6 answer who did agree that

Malaysia has low level of awareness on biomass. Then$ from the data$ above chart is

built to represent the respondents reacted about which medium would be most

effective to raise the level of awareness among Malaysian. "or male respondent$

most of them agree that the information and awareness should be deliver through

more and e(tensive campaign with 1 of them agreed on this method. n contrast$

only 1 female agrees to it.

'econdly$ 1& male and 7 female respondents agree to convey the awareness to

Malaysian through pamphlet and another 1& male and female respondents agreed it

should be included in academic syllabus. 4ine male and 2 female respondents agreed

that research and development6s publication. 'ocial networ, platform too$ would be

effective to increase Malaysian6s level of awareness on biomass implementation is

proved when there is 9 male and female agreed to this method. "ive male and

female respondents answered that biomass can be spread to Malaysian by printed and

online advertisement and 1 person answer biomass could be grasp through blogs.

4.1 Discussions

Those reaction of respondent on this matter show that different class$ group of age

and profession depending on different types of information source. 5ence$ they react

to the according to what are comfortable to.

"rom the result and discussion$ the bar chart 1 shows the most significant

respondent fall in the group of 22 and 29 and data could not be analyse because

there do not answer the gender and age section. "rom the bar chart 1 result$ we can

conclude that age between 22*29 have easy access to internet and constantly onlinefor studying or entertainment instead of group age 1! to 17 years. The number of

5


6/6

group age %& and above are low based on the result because of less internet literacy

among them.

"urthermore$ from the pie chart 2 and $ we can conclude that students are the

majority group who did answer the questionnaire being promoted in social media

platform compared to other group of profession. The reason is$ students and internet

have a bonding to each other$ both of them needs each other for instance$ student

need an internet to do their assignment and for social networ,.

The fourth chart represent the sources of biomass information and the result

shows that mass media is the highest information source in total male and female

compare to others source. The mass media is the main channel of communication and

the population relies on the news media as the main source of information and the

basis on which they form their opinions and voting decision )gner "og$ 19998.

n a nutshell$ chart ! shows that student is the group of respondent to has heard

about biomass and have further ,nowledge on it compared to other group of the

respondent. The reason is biomass has been e(posed to student in their curriculum

syllabus.

n the other hand$ result in the pie chart shows only %- of the respondent whodo not agree with iomass 5elp the evelopment of :arious 'ectors8. The

respondent might be have no idea or even ever heard about biomass. ;esult of bar

chart 7 shows male and 2# female respondent agree that Malaysian has low level

of awareness regarding biomass because do not e(posed to biomass information due

to lease e(posure from mass media and Malaysian is very much depending on fuels

energy.

shows most of them agree that information and awareness should

be deliver through more and e(tensive campaign with 1 of them agreed on this

method. nformation source is the most important thing that influenced the result of

the questionnaire. ifferent class$ group of age and profession have their own

,nowledge$ information and e(perience. 5ence$ they react to the questionnaire based

on different ,ind of sources.
