How financially-distressed Utusan can survive, according to former staff, media experts
23 August 2018
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — Malaysia’s oldest Malay daily, Utusan Malaysia, needs wholesale reforms if it is to stay relevant, according to news veterans commenting on the newspaper’s current liquidity issues.
Its publisher, Utusan Melayu Bhd, was classified as a PN17 firm last week owing to loan delinquencies. The classification means it does not have the liquidity needed to maintain its current listing’s requirements.
Industry veteran and former Utusan chief editor Tan Sri Johan Jaafar said the newspaper must now choose between its own survival and loyalty to its main owners, Umno, which lost the general election and can no longer help fund it.
“Do they want to sell paper or be a formal mouthpiece for Umno? The problem with that, after GE14, people are beginning to question the Umno associated brand. They don’t want to touch that brand,” Johan told Malay Mail when contacted.
He pointed out that other news organisations such as MCA-owned Star Media Group and Barisan Nasional-friendly Media Prima Berhad immediately adjusted and embraced the new political reality under the Pakatan Harapan government.
Unless it can find a “white knight” to rescue it, he said the future was bleak for an unreformed Utusan.
“I feel sad about it because I was a chief editor (at Utusan) for many years with sentimental view on Utusan. Unfortunately I think unless they wake up to the new reality they are going to be in deep, deep trouble.”
Shunned by advertisers
Media consultant Terence Fernandez observed that Utusan’s woes were largely due to the firebrand image it has cultivated, which led many advertisers to steer clear of the controversial broadsheet.
Saying that the newspaper has lost the trust of its readers, Fernandez said this perception further exacerbated the exodus of advertisers.
“Second, advertisers, [multinationals] didn’t want to associate themselves with Utusan due to racial hate and promoting bigotry,” he said, adding that Utusan was fuelling its own demise.
In a Bursa Malaysia filing on August 20, Utusan Melayu said it has defaulted on loans from Bank Mualamat Malaysia Bhd and Maybank Islamic Bhd. It must come up with a regularisation plan within a year or risk being delisted from the stock exchange.
The company has consistently operated at a loss in recent years and most recently reported a RM5.8 million loss in the first quarter of 2018
Its accumulated losses topped RM71 million as of June this year, leading to the current PN17 status.
A veteran journalist who requested anonymity said the company is now surviving hand to mouth as it needs up to RM7 million each month just to operate.
Claiming the outlet to be virtually insolvent, he said an abortive voluntary separation scheme proposed by chairman and acting chief editor Datuk Aziz Sheikh Fadzir could have been beneficial.
“But Umno did not allow the VSS, pitying the company’s staff. Honestly, a VSS would have been better than just losing your job outright,” he said when claiming that staff sometimes did not know when they would be paid.
“I don’t think they can survive unless there’s a bailout.”
As part of efforts to address it financial difficulties, Utusan is also trying for a private placement, which is a funding round of securities offered only to selected investors instead of the open market.
When asked if private placement can work for the firm, Johan responded pessimistically and simply wished his former company luck.
“If you really have the money, would you want to put into an entity that most people believe is almost unsaveable? More importantly I look at it, the business model is not appropriate,” said Johan.
Fernandez said the print media is a sunset industry and the news outlet must fully embrace digitalisation if it is to have any chance of survival.
More than that, he said Utusan must work to regain public trust and rebuild its credibility with critical reporting and analyses, possibly by carving out a niche as a watchdog to the government, adding that its links to Umno will raise questions about its motives.
The newspaper must also ensure that its journalists report factually and refrain from insulting readers’ intelligence, he added.
“Utusan now has a greater role to play as a check and balance of the current government,” he said.
Former Bernama chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Annuar Zaini suggested the paper position itself as the premium Bahasa Melayu daily instead of being a political tool, saying there was growing demand for centrist reporting and less so for the right-leaning.
“It doesn’t mean they stop being a Malay champion but they should stop attacking other people and races due to political differences,” he said.

NUJ mulls demanding Umno sell Utusan shares
Published 1 hour ago on 23 August 2018
KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 23 — The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) Peninsular Malaysia is considering demanding that Umno sell its Utusan Melayu Bhd shares to ensure that Utusan Malaysia staff are paid.
In a statement to Malay Mail, NUJ claimed it had been informed that the newspaper may have difficulty meeting wage obligations going forward.
“If the staff don’t receive any salary, NUJ is considering demanding that Umno sells its shares to ensure staff survival. Our newest executive chairman Datuk Aziz Sheikh Fadzir is also an Umno veteran who has other interests instead of the wellbeing of the staff.
“Our last resort would be to organise a strike if the staff aren’t paid. They also lack the funds to pay the staff under a voluntary separation scheme (VSS). Currently, staff morale is low but no one is leaving because they are hoping for the VSS,” it said.
Its publisher, Utusan Melayu Bhd, was classified as a PN17 firm last week owing to loan delinquencies. The classification means it does not have the liquidity needed to maintain its current listing’s requirements.
In a Bursa Malaysia filing on August 20, Utusan Melayu said it has defaulted on loans from Bank Mualamat Malaysia Bhd and Maybank Islamic Bhd. It must come up with a regularisation plan within a year or risk being delisted from the stock exchange.
The company has consistently operated at a loss in recent years and most recently reported a RM5.8 million loss in the first quarter of 2018.
Its accumulated losses topped RM71 million as of June this year, leading to the current PN17 status.
The statement pointed out that PN17 does not directly impact Utusan’s rank-and-file.
“To make matters worse, the workers there have not had a salary increment according to the Concession Agreement (CA) for the past four years. Currently, the CA case is still in court. Can you imagine what the staff had to go through with the rising cost of living?
“The excuse Utusan gave the court is that they don’t have the money to increase the staff salary for the 2014-2017 CA. Both sides are trying to resolve this in court,” said the statement.
According to the statement, NUJ also finds it strange that despite not having enough money to ensure staff welfare, Utusan still has the funds to establish a few new subsidiaries.
The union believes this is a way for Utusan to force its personnel to leave on their own accord so it does not have to fork out more cash under a VSS or grant them severance pay.
“NUJ has received information that there is one subsidiary conducting internal and external training and it is already in operation. We also heard that Utusan wants to merge the editorial departments of Utusan Malaysia, Kosmo, Mingguan Malaysia and Kosmo Ahad under one company.
“The photo departments will be placed under one company while the graphic department will be another company. Before this, everything was under one roof — Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Bhd. By doing this the management have breached the agreement between NUJ and Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Bhd.
“The CA was signed between Utusan Melayu (Malaysia) Bhd and NUJ, not Utusan Melayu’s subsidiaries. NUJ will take Utusan to court if they continue with this,” the statement warned.
