Annual time series data for 27-year duration (1990-2017) was used and the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) was applied. This study will focuses on addressing role of ageing population in Malaysia by context that failed to receive much attention especially in employment sector. By using Romer [1] endogenous theory, the cointegration result revealed that exists a long run relationship exists between ageing population in Malaysia government development expenditure in education and economic growth. Our analysis recommends further investment in government expenditure in education sector to achieving higher human capital capability as a towards high income country and ageing phenomena.

The literature has also looked into the occurrences of the declining trend of users to continue to use the internet on the basis of models of technology applied in studies in Malaysia. This issue is related to Technophobia, to evaluate the negative (phobic) attitudes of consumers towards innovative products, which caused them to be less open to these products, experience discomfort when using them, and ignore the benefits offered by the technology with its use. Thus, the conceptual article discusses the potential development of an e-finance community with the existence of online financial management in the financial management strategies efficiently to tackle the increasing cost of living.

An econometric time series method for 1996-2014 was used to study the impact of telecommunications development on the nation's economic growth involving internet users, broadband, mobile phones, and literacy rate in Malaysia. The analysis from the selection of the best model using SAS9.1 software determined that broadband and internet users contributed to the country's economic development, similar with previous studies. These findings showed that the growth of broadband users, with investments starting in early 2000, had an impact on the nation's economic growth.

Usually, classical method, the Cronbach alpha (α), is used to prove the validity of the instrument. In addition, the Rasch measurement model is also capable of providing guidance to proof quality items to strengthen the legitimacy of the survey instrument. Questionnaire consisting of 28 items and using a 5-level Likert scale with very unimportant to very important as the form of semantic differential was distributed to 223 respondents. Bond and Fox software analysis showed different response patterns to construct items that were measured in the same logit. Findings show the more widespread application of Rasch models would lead to a stronger justification of measurement particularly in cross-cultural studies and whenever measures of individual respondents are of interest.
