Some Malaysia newspaper publishers are facing threat in the form of proposal to raise newsprint (paper) import tariff by 25% and some could be gaining an edge from it. This would increase the operation cost of those newspaper publishers which do not own stake in newsprint manufacturing plant e.g. The Star. Companies such as NSTP, Rimbunan Hijau (Sin Chew??) and Hong Leong (Nanyang) each holds stake in Malaysia's newsprint manufacturing (as well as recycling) plant Malaysian Newsprint Industries Sdn Bhd which has a minimum yearly capacity of 250,000 tonnes (MNI is also exporting its newsprint). |
