Which are the popular business media, blogs, and news sites in Malaysia? The Edge Malaysia is the undisputed leader in the business segment, on both website traffic and reputation.
Being the only business media with more than 3 million monthly visitors, The Edge is also one of the few prints circulated on the shelves.
While mainstream news sites such as The Star and New Straits Times do cover business sections, let’s scope down and find out which are the other popular business-focused online media.
Singapore-based Tech in Asia is ranked second with regional traffic and readers. However, only around 7% of the traffic is from Malaysia, with Indonesia contributing to more than half of the visits.
Another startup-focused media Vulcan Post is third, with readers mainly from Singapore followed by Malaysia (around 35%). The ASEAN Post and e27 too, are attracting visits from the region.
If you are a brand or advertiser intending to reach the business audience in Malaysia only, this is something you should take note of.
For example, if you are to market a business software targeting only the local market, you probably want to explore The Ege, The Malaysian Reserve, Focus Malaysia, BFM, and the rest.
A special mention on Yellow Bees (disclaimer: our sister site), which is also a B2B business directory besides publishing business news and content tailored to Malaysia’s market.
