Berita Harian (Malay for "Daily News") is the sole Malay-language broadsheet newspaper published in Singapore. It is published daily from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday as Berita Minggu (Malay: "Sunday News"). This newspaper is indirectly connected to the Malaysian paper of the same name, Berita Harian. Both papers originated from a single publication founded on 1 July 1957. They were separated in September 1972, after which the Singaporean edition became de jure non-politically aligned and concentrated on Singapore-related news, while the Malaysian edition continued to maintain an alignment with the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO).[1][2]
