Sin Chew Daily

Sin Chew Daily, founded on January 15, 1929, claims to be Malaysia’s ” leading Chinese-language newspaper with a mission to preserve Chinese culture”. The paper suspended publication twice: 1942-1945 during Japanese occupation and 1987 when Malaysia revoked its license. Chairman Tiong Hiew King (張曉卿) secured its resumption on April 8, 1988. Headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Sin Chew Daily is now part of Media Chinese International Limited following a 2007 merger with Hong Kong’s Ming Pao Group. The company operates over 30 Chinese publications, including Ming Pao, Guang Ming Daily, and Asia Weekly. With 350,000 circulation (including digital) reaching 1.5 million daily readers, it’s Southeast Asia’s highest-circulation Chinese newspaper and the largest outside China. The paper has embraced digital transformation since 2000, celebrating its 90th anniversary in 2019 with integrated multimedia platforms.
