KUALA LUMPUR, March 25 — After over 18 years of publication, local Chinese-language newspaper Oriental Daily is set to make a permanent transition to the online space and print its last edition on April 16, sources have confirmed today.

It was also learned that a retrenchment exercise involving at least 60 staff is expected to take place at the news outlet, which plans to transition towards being a fully online news site.

“April 16 is the last day of print. [It] will go fully digital after that.

“Around 60 staff are also expected to be retrenched,” said one source without elaborating which departments are set to suffer the worst.
