Malay Mail

The Malay Mail, Malaysia’s oldest English-language newspaper, was first published on December 1, 1896, when Kuala Lumpur served as the capital of the newly established Federated Malay States. Originally founded as a four-page publication by former civil servant JHM Robson, the newspaper became the first daily newspaper to appear in the Federated Malay States. After 122 years of print operations, the Malay Mail ceased its print edition on December 1, 2018, and transitioned to become a fully digital news portal. The publication, which once operated under the tagline “The Paper That Cares,” now focuses on providing local and international news coverage through its digital platform. Currently owned by Malay Mail Sdn. Bhd under Ancom Berhad, the publication is led by Dato’ Siew Ka Wei as publisher, with an editorial team including managing editor Leslie Lau and executive editor Joan Lau.
