What is "malaysiakini"

Malaysiakini (English: "Malaysia Today") is a news website published in English, Malay, Chinese and Tamil. Since its launch on 20 November 1999, it has been widely considered to be one of the leading non-government owned paid-news agencies in Malaysia. Compete.com estimates that Malaysiakini now attracts over 10,000 unique visitors in May 2009. Alexa ranked malaysiakini.com as the 13th most popular web site in Malaysia (first in term of online news portal) in 2015. In 2013, Malaysiakini's parent company launched two sites - business portal KiniBiz and internet TV news site KiniTV.

Unlike most news sources in Malaysia, Malaysiakini remains free from government regulation. Its political stand is disputed, as it claims to be independent but the public and mainstream media have acknowledged it as being pro-opposition.
