Star Media Group Berhad, which publishes The Star print products and online portal, refers to a site misusing The Star's brand identity.

It has come to the group's attention that a fake news article misusing The Star's logo has been circulating about former Khazanah Nasional Berhad managing director Tan Sri Azman Mokhtar.

Star Media Group wishes to clarify that the articles bearing The Star logo offering job opportunities linked to Azman are not affiliated with The Star in any way.

Please do not interact with these articles, social media pages or suspicious ads seen on social media.

The Star – which Reuters named one of the most trusted sources of news in Malaysia – publishes on its official website thestar.com.my.

To ensure you are looking at a genuine article by The Star, always check the web page address to confirm that the URL begins with https://www.thestar.com.my.

Should you come across fake news articles, social media advertisements or suspicious social media pages impersonating The Star or any other brands, please file a report with Facebook.
