The Business Times originally distributed with The Straits Times, both published in Singapore. After new law in both Singapore (1975) and Malaysia (1970s) regarding ownership of the publisher, the New Straits Times was founded in Kuala Lumpur based on the Malaysian edition of The Straits Times. The Business Times followed the foundation of the New Straits Times and its rebirth in Kuala Lumpur.
