Kosmo! is a Malay language compact format newspaper in
Malaysia owned by Utusan Melayu Berhad. It is available in Malaysia at most
newsstands. It was launched on August 30, 2004 by Prime Minister Dato’ Seri
Abdullah Ahmad Badawi. Kosmo! existed when the public was in a desperate need
of a newspaper that could be easily read and carried. This newspaper suits the
taste of Malaysians who are mostly busy with their daily matters. All the
sections in this newspaper use an exclamation mark. Formerly, Kosmo! was sold
in Malaysia at a price of 80 cents daily excluding Sundays, when it was sold at
RM 1.00 under a different name, that is Kosmo Ahad. However, effective April
2007, Kosmo! was sold at RM 1.00 daily.
