Phillip Karuppiah, CEO of The Malay Mail, says it will be competing head-on against The Star, NST and The Sun as a morning mainstream newspaper with star reporter, Terence Fernandez as the editor. On its online strategy, The Malay Mail will buck the trend and is likely to charge for online content to avoid cannibalising its print sales. The new Malay Mail will be launched nationwide on 30th January and a weekend edition may be launched 3-6 months later.
