Sinar Harian (English: Daily Light) is a Malay language daily newspaper published in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia in a compact format. It first hit the newsstands on 31 March 2006 in the East Coast states of Kelantan and Terengganu before expanding its distribution to the state of Selangor and the federal territory of Kuala Lumpur in the West Coast in September 2007.
Unlike most mainstream media in Malaysia, Sinar is known for its relatively balanced reporting; its articles and columns present views from all sides of the Malaysian political spectrum. The newspaper also occasionally organises public forums and debates at which politicians and public figures are invited to speak, regardless of viewpoint.
Sinar Daily is published by Akhbar Cabaran Sdn Bhd, a company related to the Kumpulan Karangkraf & Ultimate Group of Companies, a major publishing interest in Malaysia and currently has a cover price of RM 1.20.
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 Kelantan edition, Terengganu edition, Pahang edition, Negeri Sembilan and Melaka edition, Utara (Perlis, Kedah and Pulau Pinang) edition, Perak edition, Johor edition and Selangor & KL edition.
