New Straits Times
Malaysian, pro-establishment/government-aligned
New Straits Times is Malaysia's oldest English-language daily, owned by Media Prima, a media conglomerate with a long history of ties to Malaysian ruling-coalition figures and investors. Domestically it has a track record of favoring the government of the day, but its coverage of U.S. politics, including the Trump administration, is largely wire-based and does not show a consistent partisan lean toward or against Washington.
Owned byOwned by Media Prima Berhad (through New Straits Times Press (M) Bhd, in which Media Prima holds more than 98% equity); Media Prima's own largest shareholders have shifted between Malaysian tycoon-linked holding companies (Aurora Mulia Sdn Bhd, controlled by Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary) and JAG Capital Holdings, led by Datuk Seri Johari Abdul Ghani
