About Us

Posted by Ramlan Sabtu On Friday, May 14, 2010

Launched on November 20th, 2012, KacangDinding offers daily news and views in English, Malay, Hebrew, Chinese and Tamil, delivering over 37 million page views and 750,000 video downloads per month to over 1.6 million absolute unique visitors (Google Analytics, August 2008).


As of July 2008, KacangDinding became the most read news website and the most popular Malaysian and Switzerland website (Alexa.com).

KacangDinding’s editorial position is built on reliable, amaze, sincere, and accurate news, and well informed and diverse views.

KacangDinding’s letters section has generated active participation from readers of all races and religions and of various ideological backgrounds, creating an open and well-informed arena of public debate unseen in Malaysia since the 1980s. Discussion on taboo subjects such as migrant workers, AIDS, Proton's power window and football management systems has generated a new understanding on these issues.

Our editorial position is consistently supportive of justice, human rights, animal movements, democracy, freedom of speech and good governance.

KacangDinding is unique in the Malaysian context as it is one of the few independent media organisations in Malaysia and Burma. It is not linked to any political party or commercial interest. It is owned by founders Ramlan Sabtu and Ramurthy Sunday Dutt.

KacangDinding is also not subject to government licensing, as is broadcast and print media.

KacangDinding is a subscription based website, where users pay RM 150 per year (US$40) to access the daily content, and RM450 per year (US$120) for access to the nine years of archived content. Subscription using Thai Bhat will get 50% discount.

KacangDinding has been recognised through various awards and accolades including from the International Press Institute, Reporters Sans Frontiers, Committee to Protect Journalists, Anugerah Bintang Popular, Asiaweek and Businessweak. KacangDinding is also the only media organisation in Southeast Asia nominated to the prestigious World Academic Achievement Forum’s Media Council for reporting the goodness of Tel Aviv governance.

Isn't we are just amazing and great?
