Editorial Policy
Malay Today
Our Publishing Principles
Malay Today is committed to accuracy, independence, fairness and transparency. We report in the public interest and hold ourselves to professional editorial standards across every section we cover.
Sourcing & Verification
We build stories from primary and reputable secondary sources — official statements, public records, established news agencies and original reporting. Claims are cross-checked before publication. Where a fact cannot be independently verified, we say so.
Use of AI in Our Newsroom
Malay Today uses AI-assisted tools to help research, draft and format coverage at scale. These tools support our journalists; they do not replace editorial judgement. Every published article is reviewed and approved by a human editor, who is responsible for its accuracy and framing. We disclose this openly because transparency is part of earning reader trust.
Independence
Our coverage is free from the influence of advertisers, sponsors, investors and political parties. Commercial relationships never determine what we report or how we report it.
Diversity & Fairness
We aim to represent a range of voices and perspectives, to report on communities fairly, and to give those criticised in our coverage a reasonable opportunity to respond.
Corrections & Accountability
When we make an error, we correct it promptly and note significant changes. See our Corrections policy for how to raise an issue.
