Even after the secession of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965, Sin Chew Daily still operated with its headquarter in Singapore under the management of successors of Aw Brothers. In the early 1970s, to expedite the printing process, Sin Chew daily decided to build a new plant located at its present head office premises in Petaling Jaya. With the setting up of this new plant, other departments such as the news desk, editorial, production and circulation were started.
