From humble beginnings to becoming Malaysia's trusted news source
Malaysia News Update was born from a simple yet powerful vision: to create a news platform that truly serves the Malaysian people with integrity, accuracy, and dedication to democratic values. Founded in 2015 by a group of experienced Malaysian journalists, we recognized the need for a news outlet that could navigate Malaysia's complex media landscape while maintaining unwavering commitment to journalistic excellence.
In our early days, we operated from a small office in Kuala Lumpur with a team of just five dedicated journalists. Our first major story broke the coverage of a significant infrastructure development project that would impact thousands of Malaysian families. That story set the tone for our reporting approach: thorough, balanced, and always focused on how developments affect real people.

Our team has grown to over 30 dedicated professionals, each bringing unique expertise and perspectives to our coverage. Yet our core values remain unchanged: accuracy over speed when possible, balanced reporting that considers all viewpoints, and unwavering commitment to serving the public interest.
As Malaysia continues to evolve and face new challenges, Malaysia News Update remains steadfast in our mission to inform, engage, and empower citizens through quality journalism. We are not just reporting the news – we are contributing to Malaysia's democratic discourse and helping build a more informed society.
