Shin Min Daily News

1

Shin Min Daily News is a Singapore Chinese-language afternoon newspaper published by SPH Media. The Newspaper was founded on 18 March 1967, by Singapore businessman Liang Runzhi (梁潤之) and Hong Kong writer Louis Cha as an offshoot of Hong Kong's Ming Pao. The Newspaper featured exclusive serializations of some of Cha's wuxia novels in its early days. In the early 1980s, Cha sold His shares in the paper after the Singapore government ruled that foreigners could only hold up to 3% of shares in locally based papers. Shin Min is a tabloid-style paper focused on entertainment and local news with sensationalized headlines, although it is printed on broadsheets. Its main competitor was Lianhe Wanbao, which was also published by the SPH. Wanbao ceased publication on 24 December 2021 and merged into Shin Min. Shin Min was also published in Malaysia until 1994, and it was the first Chinese language newspaper to be published in tabloid.
