Over the past decade, technologies have seen unprecedented growth across the globe. Despite the advance in technology
and the increase of internet use which provide numerous benefits to mankind, little is known about the problems and

technology (ICT) issues in Malaysian primary school. In this study, a review of past studies over a 10-years period that
raises concern on issues related to cyber ethics and behavior of using internet is conducted, and the survey methodology
