This year, as we celebrate Astro’s 25 years in serving Malaysians, we will continue our
transformation journey to be Malaysia’s #1 Entertainment Destination. We are excited to bring more
global streaming services on board and launch our own complementary local streaming service
focused on local content and live sports to make Astro, Malaysia’s #1 content aggregator. We will
also refresh Astro’s business models, customer experience and technology while growing
adjacencies in our broadband, commerce and digital businesses.
By constantly evolving to serve Malaysians better, we believe Astro will continue to bring Malaysians
together in the many years to come. #BetterTogether
