After Astro and Media Prima, Star Media Group is probably the third largest media group in Malaysia with at least 10 media brands under its umbrella.
Founded in the 1970s, The Star is obviously the big brother within the media group. In fact, The Star is the first national newspaper to go online by offering a web edition in 1995.
The Star is arguably more digital-savvy than any other mainstream media here, the iconic English newspaper brand is also fast to introduce paid digital newspaper subscription (a.k.a. paywall).
While ranked third among top news sites in Malaysia behind Astro AWANI and Malaysiakini, The Star is the most visited online newspaper here with more than 10 million online visits monthly.
Besides Astro and Media Prima, Star Media Group is the only other local media company that carries mainstream radio stations – 988 and Suria FM.
After launching its own Malay portal mStar, Star Media Group acquired three portals specializing in room rental, property, and automobile classifieds – iBilik, Propwall, and CarSifu in 2013.
Propwall has later become part of StarProperty, which is one of the top 10 most visited property websites in Malaysia. The automotive segment is too competitive for CarSifu though.
Here’s the list of digital media brands under the umbrella of Star Media Group in alphabetical order.
