Berita Harian (Malay for "Daily News") is the sole Malay-language broadsheet newspaper published in Singapore. It is published daily from Monday to Saturday, and on Sunday as Berita Minggu (Malay: "Sunday News"). It was founded on 1 July 1957. The newspaper was revamped in May 2013.

It had an average daily circulation of 52,500 in 2012.[citation needed]

This newspaper is indirectly related to the Malaysian newspaper of the same name, Berita Harian. Although both were established on the same date, 1 July 1957, they were split in September 1972 as the Singaporean one is non-politically aligned whilst the Malaysian one remains aligned with United Malays National Organisation.[1][2]
