Utusan to shut down, let go of 800 workers

In August, Utusan staff picketed outside the company's Kuala Lumpur office, demanding the payment of outstanding salaries for the past three months. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, October 9, 2019.

UTUSAN Melayu Bhd, formed in the late 1930s, will today shut down and terminate about 800 employees, said sources. The Malaysian Insight was told that the decision was taken as the newspaper company is no longer able to shoulder the burden of its debts accumulated over the years, estimated at between RM240 million and RM340 million.
