Farid Yunus, Chief Executive Officer of redONE was there to officiate the launch. “We are very excited to be working with The Star on this project. As the leading English daily and ePaper market leader in Malaysia, we are proud to be their partner” he remarked. “At redONE, we try to go completely paperless in all aspect of our business, so we are pleased to extend this eco-friendly philosophy to our subscribers as well. Bundled together with our lowest postpaid plans and attractive Huawei devices, we are giving all Malaysians the convenience of having your paper in your palm, whenever and wherever its needed.” he added.

With this partnership, redONE subscribers will now get to enjoy not only The Star ePaper, but also have access to four regional publications (China Daily Asia Weekly, The Nation, The Philippines Daily Inquirer and Jakarta Post) and eFlavours.”
