About DimSum News

Independent journalism covering Asian streaming, C-dramas, mobile apps, and Malaysia's digital economy—written for clarity, not clickbait.

Our Editorial Mission

DimSum News exists to help readers in Malaysia make sense of a crowded entertainment and app landscape. We publish careful comparisons of streaming catalogues, practical guides to mobile wallets and super apps, and explainers that respect both Bahasa Malaysia and Mandarin-language audiences who share the same screens at home.

Our History & The Domain

DimSum News was born out of a passion for Asian entertainment and thoughtful technology coverage. While the original DimSum streaming platform closed its doors in 2021, our independent editorial team acquired this domain to continue the legacy of spotlighting the best in Asian digital entertainment.

Today, we are a purely journalistic entity. We do not host, stream, or syndicate video content. We are building a clean, policy-safe news portal that reflects how Malaysians actually watch, pay, and shop.

Editorial Integrity & AI Policy

  • Human-Led Research: 100% of our app reviews and fintech guides are researched and written by human journalists based in Malaysia.
  • Zero-Conflict Interest: We do not receive "under-the-table" payments from app developers to alter our rankings or recommendations.
  • Fact-Verification: Financial content (Touch 'n Go eWallet, GrabPay) is cross-referenced with Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) regulatory updates before publication.
  • Corrections: Any factual errors reported via our contact page are investigated and corrected within 24 hours, with a visible "Update" timestamp.

Meet Our Editorial Team

Our guides are written by locals who actually deal with Unifi outages, Touch 'n Go toll queues, and VIP streaming tier price hikes.

Strict Editorial Standards

To ensure our reporting remains accurate, expert, and trustworthy, our newsroom strictly adheres to the following guidelines:

  • No Pay-for-Play: We do not let commercial relationships dictate app rankings. If we ever publish sponsored material, it is clearly labelled at the top of the page.
  • AI & Automation Policy: Our reviews and comparisons are written by human journalists who have actively tested the apps. We do not use generative AI to write or evaluate app performances.
  • Hands-On Testing: App reviews are based on localized testing on Malaysian telecommunication networks (Maxis, CelcomDigi, Unifi).
  • Funding Transparency: DimSum News is funded entirely through standard programmatic display advertising. We have no external corporate investors dictating our coverage.
