Overseas Chinese Daily News (OCDN; Chinese: 华侨日报; pinyin: huáqiáo rìbào) is a Chinese language newspaper in Malaysia.

History

Its first newsprint hit the streets of Kota Kinabalu (was known as Jesselton then) on 1 March 1936. It was the first daily in Sabah (was known as North Borneo then).

The late Tan Sri Yeh Pao Tzu took over the paper in 1949, and served as its publisher cum chief editor. He was a graduate in Journalism from Fu Tan University, China. Yeh died in 1987 and his wife succeeded him as the Chairman. His son, Clement Yeh Chang became the publisher.
