Overseas Chinese Daily (OCDN) hit the streets of Jesselton (now, Kota Kinabalu) on March 1, 1936 as a mimeo single sheet paper. It was the first daily in Sabah (formerly, North Borneo) and was published on irregular basis. Until the late Tan Sri Yeh Pao Tzu took over the paper in 1949, it become a regular 6-day week publication. He took over the role as its publisher cum chief editor. He was a graduate in Journalism from Fu Tan University, China. Using his knowledge of Journalism to the fullest, he started to run the paper by initially handwritten to the latest computerised equipments. The paper adopted the parallel lead composing type system for printing and which able to produce about 6 pages. Such move was then considered unprecedented in the history of Sabah newspapers. To keep abreast with the progress and the great demand from the readers, the paper increased to 8 pages in 1950 and 12 pages in 1973. The paper opted for off-set web machine in 1972. By then, OCDN became 7-day publication. OCDN has always kept pace with the latest technology from lead compose type system to Chinese typesetting machines. The paper has then produced an average of about 24 pages. The impartial commentaries, accurate and up-to-date coverage has made the OCDN the most prestigious and influential paper with the largest circulation in Sabah to-date. Tan Sri Yeh passed away in 1987 and Puan Sri Yeh succeeded him as the Chairman of Sabah Publishing House Sdn Bhd. His son, Clement Yeh Chang became the publisher. They have pledged to push forward the noble wishes of their late father. Under the dynamic leadership of new management, OCDN has undergone another round of renovation. It opted for computerised colour separation machine in 1992. In 1993, the paper installed computerised postscript composing system developed by the Beijing University. All these news came through wire and is captured by tailor-made software for editorial use. The paper covers a wide range of topics including international, national and domestic news, financial and business pages, sports, entertainment and leisure, women column and other pages of great interest. In addition, a special weekend supplementary copy of 16 tabloid pages is distributed free together with the OCDN Sunday edition. In short, the development of OCDN on the past 58 years is indeed a concise reflection of the history of Sabah newspapers.
