Sarawak Tribune Newspaper Information

The Sarawak Tribune was an English-language Malaysian newspaper published in Kuching, Sibu and Bintulu, in Sarawak. Established in 1945, publication of the paper was indefinitely suspended in 2006 following controversy pertaining to the Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy, but it reappeared in 2010 as the New Sarawak Tribune.

Originally formed by teachers in 1945, the Sarawak Tribune was the second English language daily in Sarawak, and was, prior to its suspension, the state's oldest and largest operating state daily, with over 400 employees throughout the state and 70 editorial staff in Kuching. The daily was regarded as a legacy of British colonial Sarawak. Its sister paper was the state Malay-language daily, Utusan Sarawak. Formerly, its other sister paper was the state Mandarin daily, Chinese Daily News, now known as United Daily. It was last owned by Sarawak Press Sdn Bhd.
