Google Malaysia recently launched Google News in Bahasa Melayu which is available through a dedicated website or app that’s available on Android and iOS.
Making it easier for readers to find the news they’re looking for doesn’t just benefit readers, it also helps publishers, according to Google Asia Pacific News Partnerships Director Kate Beddoe, who mentioned that Google has sent more than 66 million visits to Malaysian publishers per month in 2022.
Today, we are launching Google News in Bahasa Melayu bringing readers even more local news. This expansion reaffirms Google’s commitment to making information accessible to people across the globe in the language they prefer. Through a dedicated website and app available on Android and iOS, Google News continues to help readers find news from authoritative sources, ranging from the world’s biggest news websites to small, local and specialty publications.

She also said that Google continues to invest in products, programs and funding via the Google News Initiative to support quality journalism and help Malaysian publishers and journalists thrive online.
We are proud that the GNI (Google News Initiative) will continue to support important work such as this story about the journalists from the BERNAMA team who spotlighted one of Malaysian children’s biggest problems after attending Google News Initiative’s data journalism training.
