Overseas Chinese Daily News (OCDN; Chinese: 华侨日报; pinyin: Huáqiáo Rìbào) is a Chinese language newspaper in Malaysia and is one of two newspapers published by Sabah Bernam Publishing House, with the other being the English-language Daily Express.[1]
History
Its first newsprint hit the streets of Kota Kinabalu (was known as Jesselton then) on 1 March 1936, when it was first distributed as a four-page mimeographed newspaper.[1] It was the first daily in Sabah (was known as North Borneo then). It stopped publication during World War II when the Japanese army invaded North Borneo and continued publication afterwards.[1]
The late Tan Sri Yeh Pao Tzu took over the paper in 1949, and served as its publisher cum chief editor. He was a graduate in Journalism from Fu Tan University, China. Yeh died in 1987 and his wife succeeded him as the Chairman. His son, Clement Yeh Chang became the publisher.
