INDEPHEDIA.com - Sin Po is the name of a Malay-language Chinese newspaper published in Batavia, Dutch East Indies.
The Sin Po Newspaper was first published on October 1 1910 and ceased to be published after Indonesian independence in 1965.
This newspaper was founded by Lauw Giok Lan and Yoe Sin Gie. Both had worked at Perniagaan, a conservative Chinese newspaper closely linked to the Kapitan Cina and Tiong Hoa Hwee Koan systems.
In its early days, the Sin Po Newspaper was published as a weekly newspaper. However, as developments progressed, on April 1 1912 this newspaper turned into a daily.
As a newspaper based in Batavia (now Jakarta), Sin Po was famous for its stance supporting Chinese nationalism and the struggle of the earth's sons.
Sin Po -- which means new newspaper ---, was the first daily to publish the text of the Indonesian national anthem, Indonesia Raya.
This newspaper also pioneered the use of the name "Indonesia" to replace "Dutch East Indies" since the Youth Pledge on 28 October 1928.
When Japan occupied Indonesia in 1942, Sin Po stopped publishing. However, the newspaper was published again in 1946.
Then, in 1962 this daily changed its name to Warta Bhakti, before finally being banned by the government after the 30 September Movement incident in 1965. (*)
