For Immediate Release
7 May 2001
(Hong Kong - 7 May 2001) Founder Holdings Limited ("Founder Holdings", SEHK: 418) today announces that a software and service-providing contract ("the SPH contract") was just entered into between PUC Founder (MSC) Berhad ("Founder (MSC)"), Founder Holdings' 49% associated company in Malaysia, and Singapore Press Holdings Limited ("SPH"), Singapore's largest news publisher and premier information provider.
Under the SPH contract, Founder (MSC) will provide two of Founder's epoch-making electronic publishing systems, namely, Founder Wentao (
) News Editorial System (latest version, v5.0) and Founder Integrated Typesetting (
) System (latest version, v4.0), to SPH's three Chinese newspaper publishing units, namely, Lianhe Zaobao (
), Lianhe Wanbao (
) and Shinmin Daily News (
). The software-providing part of this contract alone amounts to around 2 million Singapore Dollars (i.e. around 8.5 million Hong Kong Dollars).
Like what Founder's electronic publishing systems previously did for many other international renowned newspaper publishers - People's Daily (
), Guangzhou Daily (
), Xinmin Evening News (
) and Yangcheng Evening News (
), to name a few - the realization of the SPH contract is to mark the Age of Wholly-digitalized Non-paper Publishing for SPH's three Chinese newspaper publishing units and to enhance the management of their Editorial Departments through the use of Founder's electronic publishing systems.
