MediaCorp TV12's Suria was launched on 30 January 2000, replacing Prime 12.

Suria - which means 'Sun' in Malay - transmits a blend of programmes to reflect the unique views, culture and lifestyles of the NEW Malay Singaporeans. As a dedicated Malay channel, Suria is the choice channel of the Malay community in Singapore and aims to be the number one channel for the Malay community in the region. This is a channel that viewers can rely on, where they seek out programmes that provides latest news and information whilst serving the best entertainment programmes which reflect their lives, culture and heritage.

Suria originally used the tagline, "Suria, Sinaran Hidup Anda" which means Suria, Shinning your life. It then changes to a new tagline in 2006 Semakin Bersinar which means 'Shining Even Brighter' reflects the channel's desire to be the heartbeat of the Malay community, networking closely with them and understanding their needs and aspirations.

With a multicultural and international feel, Suria not only reflects the affluent, educated and new breed of the Singapore Malays, it also provides a window for those who wish to understand the Malay community .
