This article is written in British English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, travelled, centre, defence, artefact, analyse) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Reading through the article, it reeks of bias to smear the publication by compiling one-sided opinions sourced from the Opposition (Pakatan Rakyat). As one of the oldest newspapers still in print in Malaysia and still the highest selling Malay language newspaper, I was expecting backgrounds and the stories behind it's establishment, such as it's important role in getting the Malay masses to oppose Malayan Union. Instead the NPOV criticism took the spotlight right off the bat

"While readership had rapidly declined in line with declining editorial quality...".

"...blatant practice of double standards in its reporting..."

"...extreme racist rhetoric..."

Doesn't sound like something you would read from an encyclopedia, but certainly something that you would hear from the Opposition, whether they were true or not. To whoever made this article, take your political leanings out, it stinks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.82.94.32 (talk) 18:03, 19 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Utusan Malaysia is a separate newspaper ad not same with Utusan Malaysia.Here's the real differences: Utusan Melayu is published in 1939,still remains as seperate newspaper till 2006. -It changes to Utusan Melayu Mingguan in the early millenium as weekend newspaper as a reaction to the falling Jawi readers in malaysia.It's demise is on January 2006,before revived with the same name,June 2006 as a weekly 'sisipan' for utusan malaysia -Meanwhile,Utusan Malaysia,published in 1967 as a daily edition for Mingguan Malaysia(Mingguan malaysia pubished earlier in 1965),still published till now. It is confirmed by several artical in utusan malaysia itself.I'm sorry,but it's the truth.I will change it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qamarul Syahmi (talk • contribs) 17:15, 4 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
