The Malaysian National News agency (Bernama) reported that the Sarawak's oldest newspaper will hit news stands again (May 19th 2010). The Sarawak Tribune, established in 1945 was suspended in 2006 when it published caricatures of the Muslim prophet, Mohamed which was considered offensive to Muslims.
The North Borneo Herald is happy that a part of Borneo's heritage is being revived. When the Sarawak Tribune was suspended even the Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud expressed disappointment since the newspaper is part and parcel of Sarawak's history.
