Abstract: The harmony of a society of various races and religions is a unique identity that Malaysia has had since independence. However, efforts to maintain this harmony are certainly faced with various challenges, especially in the era of information and communication technology boom. The introduction of the ‘Comprehensive Direction of the Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0)’ and ‘National Digital’ are seen to further increase accessibility and boost Malaysian society’s involvement with ICT. However, the facilities offered have been misused to the point of inviting insults to religion, race and royal institutions, as well as hate speech which is becoming more and more common. The study aims to identify the influence of the 3R elements (Race, Religion, Royalty) on the harmony of society in Malaysia in the era of industrial revolution 4.0 (IR4.0). This study was conducted qualitatively by analyzing literature data, which was further analyzed inductively to summarize the influence of the 3R issue on digital platforms on the harmony of society in Malaysia. After the GE-14 general election, the seeds of tension have started to grow, leading to the birth of sensitive issues, especially related to religion and race, which if not managed well, could potentially lead Malaysia towards division and enmity. Therefore, the 3R element plays an important role as the core of the formation and strengthening of harmony in community relations in Malaysia. On that basis, the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (SKMM) itself has given serious attention to any attempt to sue one of these three main cores. The strengthening of these three elements can be a driving force in creating a more harmonious and responsible multi-racial and religious society, in line with the government’s efforts to build racial unity that is increasingly fragile after GE14.
