Asiatimes 《亚洲时报》

Asia Times (亚洲时报) is a Chinese-language news portal based in Sabah, Malaysia, and describes itself as the state’s widest-circulated Chinese newspaper.

Asiatimes.com.my functions as the digital extension of the print paper, delivering news and features to Chinese-speaking readers in Sabah and across Malaysia.

Main categories include Home, Asia Times Pulse, Malaysia News, Regional News, International, E-Paper, Video, and Business (商讯).

There is also a lifestyle segment under “魅力亚洲” that highlights travel and food (旅游美食), along with special campaigns such as a writing competition. Regional coverage is a key focus.

The “地区新闻” further breaks down into Sabah/Sarawak, Sandakan, Tawau/Lahad Datu, and Kota Kinabalu/West Coast, reflecting the paper’s deep roots in East Malaysia.

A lot about Sabah state politics, community events, and local development issues, such as reports on the new Sabah Cabinet’s commitment to prosperity and progress, as well as MA63-related discussions on Sabah’s rights within the Malaysian federation.

Beyond local news, the site carries international content, including cultural and political reports from China and Hong Kong—for example, feature articles on the Wong Tai Sin cultural festival in Zhejiang Jinhua and coverage of Hong Kong Legislative Council election activities.

This blend of local and greater Chinese-world news positions the site as both a community paper and a bridge to broader Chinese-language media discourse.

While the primary interface and most articles are in Chinese, Asia Times also publishes selected pieces in English, notably on Sabah politics and events (for instance, an English version of the article on the new Sabah Cabinet). This bilingual approach broadens its reach to non-Chinese readers who are nonetheless interested in Sabah affairs.
