The conglomerate has the largest combined >> circulation of newspapers, amounting to about 50% of Malay and English >> newspapers, and controls two of the top three best-selling newspapers in >> Malaysia, the Malay language Berita Harian and the fast-rising Harian >> Metro. These two newspapers are read by close to three million Malaysians >> out of a population of 26 million. >> >> The third top newspaper, Utusan Malaysia, is owned by the Utusan Melayu >> Group and is also believed to have close links to the dominant United >> Malays National Organization (UMNO).
