Sin Poh (Star News) Amalgamated Limited was a Singapore-based publishing company that published Sin Chew Jit Poh (Chinese: 星洲日報) in both Singapore and Malaysia, as well as Sin Pin Jit Poh (Chinese: 星檳日報) in Penang, Malaysia.
The Malaysian editions were sold to a Malaysian businessman in 1982. In 1975, due to new legislation in Singapore, the assets and publishing rights of the Singapore edition of Sin Chew Jit Poh were sold to Sin Chew Jit Poh (Singapore) Limited. However, the Aw family, descendants of the founder, retained some management shares.
In 1977, Sin Chew Jit Poh (Singapore) Limited launched an initial public offering to sell ordinary shares of the company. It later merged to form Singapore News and Publications Limited in 1982, a predecessor of Singapore Press Holdings.
