Readers appreciate Sinar Harian for its nonpartisan stance
Sinar Harian’s 19th anniversary celebration is more than just a commemoration of the newspaper’s success, it is also a moment to honour the trust of loyal readers.
SHAH ALAM – Sinar Harian’s 19th anniversary celebration is more than just a commemoration of the newspaper’s success, it is also a moment to honour the trust of loyal readers who continue to regard it as a reliable, transparent and sincere source of news.
For Hanafi Abdul Halim, 33, a private sector employee from Kuala Selangor, Sinar Harian is the only mainstream newspaper that consistently upholds ethical journalism without siding with any individual or political party.
“From the beginning until now, I’ve been comfortable reading Sinar Harian because it’s impartial. All sides are given a voice. Even when covering political issues, they stay neutral and that’s something I respect.
“The 19th anniversary celebration is proof that Sinar Harian continues to thrive because readers trust in the values of transparency it upholds,” he said when met at the Karangkraf Karnival Siang Malam on Saturday.
Hanafi also praised the paper’s well-known slogan 'Telus dan Tulus', saying it is not just a tagline but truly reflected in the reporting.
Meanwhile, Mohd Badrul Hisyam Alias, 37, from Shah Alam, said he has been following Sinar Harian for over 10 years due to its straightforward and accessible reporting style.
“I don’t usually read every single news item, but when I read Sinar Harian, I trust its content. I particularly like the Sinar Premium section and the in-depth special reports that are fact-based.
“This kind of celebration makes us, as loyal readers, feel appreciated. We’re not just consumers, we’re part of the newspaper’s journey,” he said.
He added that at a time when many media outlets are inclined toward specific agendas, Sinar Harian continues to stand firm as a platform that dares to report objectively, even under pressure from various quarters.
Another loyal reader, Khairul Azhar Zakaria, 39, said Sinar Harian’s strength lies in its journalists’ commitment to obtaining information directly from the field, rather than merely reproducing media statements.
“I’ve noticed that when issues arise, Sinar Harian reporters are on the ground interviewing those involved, not just relying on press releases. That’s what sets them apart.
“That’s why I trust Sinar Harian’s credibility. They’re not afraid to report the truth, and that’s what matters most in today’s media landscape,” he said.
