The Star (Sarawak Edition)

Do you often read newspapers? As for me, I enjoyed reading news paper because I’m one of those “kaypo – busy body”people! Haha! Anyway, if you are staying in Sarawak, you’ll find that most English educated people read “The Borneo Post”, only little option to buy west Malaysian’s paper. I guess we don’t have much choice as there’s just too few local English papers.


However, starting from today, we (Sarawakian) will have something new to accompany us during our breakfast as The Star’s inaugural Sarawak Edition hits the street today! Breakfast will never the same anymore.

The Star (Sarawak) was official launched today by our State Housing and Urban Development Minister Datuk Amar Abang Johari Tun Abang Openg who represented our Chief Minister Tan Sri Abdul Taib Mahmud at the Spring shopping mall, Kuching.
