Subscribers can now read Malaysiakini with fewer ads

Dear Malaysiakini subscribers,

Your reading experience is important to us. Your voice matters and your feedback does not go unnoticed.

So, say “goodbye” to pop-up ads and “hello” to a smoother browsing experience from Aug 6 onwards.

We are launching a version of Malaysiakini with fewer advertisements.

Q: What does this new launch mean?

A: Malaysiakini will now have fewer advertisements for subscribers as we are removing most of the pop-up ads. This will give you a more pleasant and seamless reading experience. We are maintaining some in-article advertisements but they will be non-intrusive and placed within the body of a written article.

Q: Will the subscription price increase due to this?

A: No, we are not increasing our prices.

Q: Why is it not 100 percent ad-free?

A: We have introduced a reduced ad experience exclusively for subscribers to maintain the balance between our readers’ comfort and the company’s long-term need for sustainability.

Q: I am not a subscriber. What do I need to do?

A: Become part of our community to enjoy this exclusive reduced ad experience, stand with us for independent journalism and subscribe now.

Q: I am already a subscriber. What do I need to do?

A: You don’t have to do anything as we are rolling out this feature in a seamless manner. We thank you for your support.

Q: Other than subscribing, how can I support independent journalism?

A: Encourage others to subscribe and read Malaysiakini. Reader revenue is the best way for us to continue fighting for the causes we believe in without relying heavily on advertisements.

Q: How can I send my feedback about my user experience?

A: Email us at [email protected] or reach out to us via WhatsApp here.

By subscribing, not only will you have a new and improved reading experience, you will also be supporting independent journalism.

Supporting Malaysiakini is a small investment towards creating a more informed society and holding those in power to account. Whether you are a new or long-term subscriber, we thank you for your support.
