    Digital lifestyle has become a culture that each and every of us has to adopt and adapt to. The stability of Malaysia’s economy makes the quality of its citizen’s education and standard of living improve along with the income ranks. On the other hand, there is still a huge problem with regards to the school dropouts that influence the quality of life and social impact in Malaysia. These school dropouts should be exposed to self-regulating and self-employing so that they can be independent and able to move forward themselves away from the perils of crime. By manipulating the current digital lifestyles, majority of the school dropouts are familiar with the Information and Communication technology (ICT), the Internet and mobile gadgets. This paper recommends that the Malaysian authorities should come out with a prototype of the business model of Social Enterprise (SE) in order to deal with school dropouts that prefer to run business online as their income to support their lives. Some adaptation from the successful SE in the United States of America (USA) could be adapted in order to match with the Malaysian scenarios. The authorities might also work out spin-off businesses through provision of seed funds, including from interested private sectors, to these youths.
