Malay Mail

Description

From its simple beginnings, the Malay Mail has evolved into a staple daily for many a reader, especially those in the Klang Valley, who were captivated by the paper’s emphasis on human interest news, campaigns for the aggrieved, and voices of the man-in-the-street, a style that earned the paper ithe affectionate labeling of THE paper for the small man.

The Malay Mail began at Market Street, Kuala Lumpur, on Dec 14, 1896. Founded by John Henney Matthews Robson, the hand-printed broadsheet had 200 copies, priced at 15 sen each.

After the Japanese invasion of Dec 8, 1941, the paper stopped production for 12 days from Jan 8, 1942. It was then made the only English paper in Selangor.The following year saw the paper renamed Malai Sinpo and used as a propaganda paper for the new colonial masters.
