    abstract = {This study aims to identify how often the students surf the internet and its correlation with their
religious and social behaviour. The data were analysed by Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)
Version 19 in which the sample students were chosen by a purposive sampling. We included
220 students (80 men, 140 women) answering the questionnaire from five diploma programs in the Department
of General Studies in Kolej Kemahiran Tinggi MARA (KKTM) Rembau, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia from January
2015 to December 2015. As the results, it was found that more than 15 times a day students login the internet
which is 41.4%. In the other hand, those who surfing the internet more than 6 h a day are 32.3%. Students tend
to surf the internet between 7 pm to 12 am there are 37.7% while from 12-4 am there are 31.4% with the value of
mean altogether is 2.744. Some of the factors that encourage students use the internet is to spend their free time
with interaction using the social media, entertainment, looking for information and downloading media from the
internet with a value of the mean is 3.323. Softwares which are often used by students such WhatsApp,
Instagram, WeChat, Facebook, e-mail and YouTube with a value of the mean is 2.521. As a result, there is a
significant correlation between internet surfing and student’s religious and social behaviour isolated and
having problem with their study. As a sum, the use of the internet freely and uncontrollable can cause the waste
of time and expose to the negative impact on student’s religious practice. This can be seen through their
complacent attitude toward prayer time even some of them thus, ignore it totally. Not surprisingly, their souls
become withered and easy to think negatively of parent’s advice. In relation to this, it shows that KKTM
students are anti social, internet abuse and did not care of their health. However, the result is low to average
but still needs to be taken care of by all parties to overcome and improve.}
