TMI BERTUKAR TANGAN ???

Ketua editor Malaysian Insider hari ini membuat pengumuman yang agak mengejutkan.

Perkara ini disahkan sendiri oleh fz.com salah satu cabang media The Edge.

KUALA LUMPUR (June 9) : The Edge Media Group (TEMG) has acquired the popular news portal www.themalaysianinsider.com (TMI).

TEMG Publisher and Group CEO Ho Kay Tat says the purchase of TMI will enhance TEMG's presence and reach in the digital media space. The website has the second highest traffic among the pure digital local news portals in Malaysia.

"As an integrated regional media group we are always looking for opportunities to diversify our media platforms and we are happy to now have The Malaysian Insider as part of our portfolio," says Ho.

In Malaysia, TEMG has both print and digital titles - The Edge business and investment weekly, The Edge Financial Daily, Personal Money and the

websites www.theedgemalaysia.com, www.theedgeproperty.com and www.fz.com.
Outside of Malaysia, it has The Edge print weekly in Singapore and its website www.theedgesingapore.com.

Last year, TEMG launched the first digital only regional weekly news magazine The Edge Review, which reports extensively on socio-economic and political developments in southeast Asia.
"The purchase of TMI follows that of our purchase of a minority stake in the business radio station BFM in 2013," says Ho.

"Our decision to invest in BFM and now to buy TMI was also driven by the fact that we share the same vision and editorial values to promote fairness, moderation and inclusive socio-economic development."

TEMG is independent of any political, racial or religious group and is committed to report, analyse and explain the news accurately, fairly, and intelligently as this is what the public expects of a credible media.

Jahabar Sadiq, CEO and Editor of TMI, has welcomed TEMG as its shareholder.

"We welcome TEMG as our new shareholder and we welcome their commitment to the same ethos that has made The Malaysian Insider a credible news portal since our inception in February, 2008," says Jahabar, who will continue to lead the TMI editorial team.
