The New Straits Times (NST) is an English-language newspaper published in Malaysia. It is Malaysia's oldest newspaper still in print (though not the first), having been founded as a local offshoot of the Singapore-based The Straits Times on 15 July 1845. It first published as the New Straits Times on 31 August 1974. Its sister newspaper, the New Sunday Times, has been in circulation since at least 1968. The paper served as Malaysia's only broadsheet format English-language newspaper; however, following the example of British newspapers The Times and The Independent, a tabloid version first rolled off the presses on 1 September 2004 and since 18 April 2005, the newspaper has been published only in tabloid size, ending a 160-year-old tradition of broadsheet publication. The New Straits Times currently retails at RM1.50 (~37 US cents) in Peninsular Malaysia. More information...
