Guang Ming
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guang Ming Daily (Traditional Chinese: 光明日報; Simplified Chinese: 光明日报; pinyin: Guāngmíng Rìbào) was previously known as Sin Pin Daily (Chinese : 星檳日報), Sin Pin Daily was founded by the Aw brothers which have also started Sin Chew Daily. Sin Pin Daily was headquartered in Penang but unfortunately it has to stop publishing in 1986 after some major changes in management.
All the former staff of the defunct Sin Chew Daily are desperate to restart the newspaper publishing. Finally in December 1987, Guang Ming Daily was born after obtaining the publishing permit with the help from Dato' Seri Dr. Lim Keng Yaik.
In 1992, the Rimbunan Hijau Group bought over Guang Ming Daily and thus making it the sister company with Sin Chew Daily.
