\nA new Tamil newspaper,\u00a0Thina Kural (Daily Voice)<\/em>, is to hit the streets on Feb 9.<\/p>\n
Its managing director is Aruul Kumar, 29, son of the late A Athikumanan, a former editor-in-chief of Tamil daily Malaysia Nanban, on whose birthday the daily is being launched, said editor-in-chief BR Rajan.<\/p>\n
Rajan, 53, who has 34 years of experience in journalism, said the company, located at Batu Complex in Jalan Ipoh, would bring out 31,000 copies daily and 47,000 copies on Sunday for a start.<\/p>\n
Thina Kural<\/em>\u00a0is aimed at, among other things, contributing to improving the lives of the Malaysian Indian community at all levels, he told\u00a0Bernama<\/em>\u00a0in a telephone interview today.<\/p>\n
\u201cNews and articles in Thina Kural will be for the upliftment of the lives of the Indian community in Malaysia. We want to play such a role for society, especially for the lower income group,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Rajan said the fourth Tamil daily in the country is a tribute to Athikumanan, a legend in the Tamil newspaper industry. Apart from\u00a0Malaysia Nanban<\/em>, the other two Tamil dailies in the country are\u00a0Tamil Nesan<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Makkal Osai<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
