CORPORATE PROFILE
Star Publications (Malaysia) Bhd is the publisher of The Star, Malaysias leading English daily. Having started as a regional tabloid in Penang 1971, The Star spread its wings nationwide in just four years. Due to its increasing popularity, a second printing plant was set up in Kuala Lumpur in 1976. The company then relocated its headquarters to Kuala Lumpur two years later. In 1981, the increasing popularity of the newspaper also meant the workforce continued to grow and with a new press incorporating the latest technology, The Star moved into its own premises located in Petaling Jaya. The Star was the first Malaysian newspaper and third in Asia to establish its presence on the Internet with an online version, The Star Online (www.thestar.com.my), was launched on June 23, 1995 to serve and link Malaysians globally. The website is a popular source of information and is regularly accessed by people worldwide. That same year on November 23, the company achieved yet another milestone when it was listed on the Main Board of the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange. In 1999, The Star extended its influence across the region and as a founding member, helped establish Asia News Network (ANN), an alliance of 20 newspapers published in 17 major Asian cities. ANN is a network organised to provide an avenue for mutual cooperation and optimisation in the coverage of major events taking place in the region. In 2000, Star Media Group moved its HQ to a 17-storey office building, Menara Star at Section 16 of Petaling Jaya. In January 2002, a printing plantStar Media Hub was built in Shah Alam to cope with its increasing circulation. It also set up its Star Northern Hub, a 4-storey office and printing plant in Bayan Lepas, Penang. In line with the companys vision to become a multi-media company, Star Media Group acquired Star RFM in September 2002, which owns the highly popular Chinese radio station, 988, and the hip English radio station, Red FM. Radio audiences surveys have shown that Red FM is currently Malaysias fastest growing English radio station, in terms of listenership and advertisers. Star Media Group also acquired a 70% stake in Suria FM, a Bahasa Malaysia radio station, launched on December 30, 2005. The Star introduced its own e-paper on June 1, 2004, one of the first media organisations in the Asian region to generate electronic newspapers, hence increasing its accessibility to a more international audience. The Star took the concept one step further by introducing SMS News alerts, which sends news updates to subscribers. In addition, the podcasting service created, also enables users to download The Stars audio and video content. To extend the reach of The Star to a larger audience, 2005 saw the launching of mStar Online, targeted at the Bahasa Malaysia speaking community. In 2008, Studio V, Star Media Groups state-of-theart multimedia hub incorporating print, online, mobile, radio and video at 1Utama Shopping Centre, Petaling Jaya was launched. It offers a virtual and vibrant venue for readers, listeners, viewers, advertisers and business partners to interact. On August 10, 2009, StarProperty was launched with the objective to become the leading online property portal in Malaysia. Armed with useful features such as the property tracker, a large database and user-friendly search engine, StarProperty has what it takes to reach every stakeholder in Malaysias property arena. StarProperty is an MSC-status company, wholly owned by Star Publications (M) Bhd. Reaching an even wider audience, Mingguan mStar, a Malay language pullout was launched on February 28, 2010. Rolling out weekly with Sunday Star within the Klang Valley, it targets urban Malays and covers a wide range of issues, exclusive investigative reports and interviews with celebrities. A definite boon for advertisers to further their reach. Metro Sarawak, launched on March 7, 2010, further expands The Stars brand across the South China Sea, a pullout dedicated to local news with an initial circulation of 10,000 copies. On January 18, 2011, The Star launched its iPad application, the first by a Malaysian media company. The app provides iPad-exclusive content in the form of articles from guest columnists on various topics. The Star Media Group also has a stable of magazines, which includes Galaxie (lifestyle and entertainment), Flavours (food and lifestyle), Kuntum (childrens education) and Shang Hai (Chinese business magazine). The Star has undergone many changes as it continues to grow but one characteristic remains the same The Star will always report on issues that matter to the people and will always be, The Peoples Paper.
