00:06 [INAUDIBLE]
00:11 Oh, just one.

00:30 [INAUDIBLE]
00:33 Star has been the market leader in e-paper,
00:37 the first in Malaysia.
00:39 And it has grown so much.
00:41 And a lot of people now read the e-paper.
00:44 And many of my friends always say the first thing they do
00:49 in the morning is to get the e-paper first,
00:52 read it first before they even go to work and all that.
00:55 I think papers always like to keep innovating.
00:58 But I think Star has been taking the leadership role
01:01 in technology and innovation and done very well.
01:05 So many of my friends in the UK and Australia
01:08 and even in Canada who are subscribers to the e-paper,
01:11 and every time they wake up, they read the e-paper.
01:14 They want to keep it in touch with Malaysia.

01:19 I think one of the major advantages for e-paper
01:22 is that you can reach worldwide.
01:24 That's right.
01:25 Compared to print.
01:27 So today, the world is borderless.
01:31 Something that can be convenient for people
01:35 to pick up the news and all this by providing the e-copy,
01:40 I think it's definitely something that we should
01:43 put more effort into.
