A typical post picks up 4 interactions against 1.5M followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 248 original posts, its engagement rate beats 9% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 3.0K times each, and 0.134% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.194% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 8.4 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 50% of days. Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 248 posts sampled, 10% carry an image or video and 98% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 368 interactions, about 92x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

malaysiakini.com's engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 12% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At under 0.001%, malaysiakini.com sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 36,654 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 106,977 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

    “I hope if she sees this, just come and see me… That is all I want. “I hope she can contact me because that’s the only way. I’ve gone to the courts, I’ve gone to the police, and I still have not heard anything (about Prasana). “My only hope is to go and plead to the public or for Prasana herself to contact me,” the 52-year-old kindergarten teacher told reporters, struggling to hold back tears.

    Aziz said the Marang MP should have used the proper channel, such as the Malaysian Media Council, to air his grievances, noting that Malaysiakini had also given PAS considerable space. “I believe the PAS president has not forgotten that the portal, together with DAP and Pakatan Rakyat, also defended PAS’ rights when the Dr Mahathir Mohamad administration attempted to remove the word ‘Islam’ from PAS’ name in 1999. “While we respect the PAS president’s rights as a citizen, we must also acknowledge that he has made many views that are racist and inappropriate for this country’s multiracial society.

    In a joint statement, the DAP quartet also concluded that Hadi does not produce scholarly articles, but instead conjures “weapons” that exploit Islam for his political interests. “As we approach the 69th National Day celebrations, it is deeply regrettable if a political leader chooses language that could divide the people. “What we should defend is a Malaysia that upholds the Constitution, respects Islam as the religion of the Federation, safeguards the rights of all citizens and builds unity in diversity, not a politics of fear and division,” they said.

What is malaysiakini.com's engagement rate on X?
malaysiakini.com (@malaysiakini) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 248 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,534,110 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At under 0.001%, malaysiakini.com sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @malaysiakini have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 9% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @malaysiakini post?
Most posts go out around 06:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 8.4 posts per day across the measured window.
