Truemor – (not yet true but is likely to be true) has it that national daily The Star is expanding its operation in Sarawak. The daily currently has an office in Kuching and a correspondent in Miri.

As it subscriber – I’d hope that this truemor would eventually be true – so that I don’t have to wait until 5:00p.m for my paper to arrive and cost 10 cents more than the suggested price (certain shop sell it for RM2.40)

According to my journalist friends – The Star would also likely to shift the printing works to Kuching or Miri. Currently all the printing work is done by its HQ, in Kuala Lumpur.

The expansion would also likely to see several journalists from state dailies – Borneo Post and Eastern Times to jump ship.
