Features

While providing the standard fare of national and international news, "Sinar Harian" also has a unique niche in providing regional and local news based on the regional editions published in the form of a pull-out section that takes up more than half of the printed pages in every issue. Current regional editions available are the Kelantan edition, Terengganu edition, Pahang edition and the Selangor & KL edition.

Regional correspondents known as "Skuad Cakna" (literally meaning "Concerned Squads", possibly colloquial for "Snoop Squads") are stationed in each district and major population centres in the states where the respective editions are published.

Trivia

* The newspaper's slogan; "Suara Cakna Komuniti Anda"; uses a term from the Kelantanese Malay dialect, "cakna", which literally means "to be concerned"
