Malaysian News

Malaysian News Sources
Malaysia Kini: Economic, social and political news from a Web site established by a grant from an Asia Pacific Journalists association, and staffed by Malaysian journalists. One of the few news sources you can trust in Malaysia
Today's Front Page from the New Straits Times: Malaysia's best selling and oldest English language daily print newspaper, but suffers from selective reporting on local political and economic news as well as engineering an anti-Western slant to international and regional news
The Star Malaysia
Daily newspaper, strong on business news - government connected media
Harakah: Harakah is the newspaper from Malaysia's main opposition party - PAS. Their fundamentalist religious views are attractive to many Malays, including those disaffected with the current Malaysian elite. While mainly a political vehicle, Harakah provides an opposition slant to balance the UMNO/BN governing party slant in 90% of Malaysian newspapers.
Berita Harian: Malaysian news in the national language - Bahasa Melayu
Today's Malaysian News from the Star: Leading general articles from the Star newspaper based in Kuala Lumpur
Bernama: Official Malaysian government news agency.
News from the Singapore Business Times: Todays news from the Singapore Business Times, a respected regional newspaper. Contains much Malaysian news, from a Singapore perspective.

Asian Market Research News - Malaysia

Malaysia bans Toyota ad:  Some surprise expressed in Asian and regional advertising circles this week when a Toyota ad featuring popular U.S. film actor Brad Pitt - a celebrity endorser which market research has shown to be of high value among several Asian consumer market segments - was banned. Even more so that the campaign had already been running in Malaysian newspapers and print for several months. [Dec 20 2002]

Malaysian consumer spending commences a tentative recovery:  While a consumer led recovery is established north of the border in Thailand, Malaysia's consumers are acting just a little more conservatively. While car sales have been up for a while, a reliable indicator of a promising economy, a broad-based consumer led recovery has been slower to get into gear. [Jun 16 2002]

The Malaysian Advertising Code of Ethics for TV and Radio:  Every country has an advertising code for the broadcasting of commercials, and Malaysia is no exception. But the extent of government control varies markedly between countries and some broad understanding of the "Malaysian way" can be gleaned from studying the code.  [May 16 2002]

Business Week positive on Malaysia:  Well, we may have said it already, but its nice to know that Business Week agrees with us that just right now business-wise, Malaysia is the place to be... [May 6 2002]

Malaysia feels the global retail heat:  Global retailing names like Tesco and Carrefour are changing the way South East Asians shop. The mega-mall is drawing shoppers away from small, local and or family businesses... [Apr 21 2002]

BMW makes commitment to Malaysia:  Malaysia provides some hint of competition to Thailand's position as the 'Detroit' of South East Asia with a deal announced between BMW and Malaysia. [Mar 22 2002]

Malaysia spins to Chinese tourists:  Ten million mainland Chinese travelled overseas in 2001, and Malaysia is pitching to them.. [Mar 11 2002]

Malaysian 2001 GDP up slightly - economists forecasts:  After excellent growth of 8.5% in 2000, Malaysian GDP was expected to be flat in 2001 due to a moribund export market due to global slowdown. Prior to the release of official figures, most economists are expecting a modest rise. [Feb 22 2002]

New car sales herald recovery in Malaysia:  There is some excitement around the traps about a Malaysian recovery. During the slow down, Malaysia more than other competing economies, was able to curb inflation, and keep costs low. Yes... and that includes business costs. Car sales are up, and that's a good sign of any consumer-led recovery. [Feb 22 2002]
