“We are thrilled to be voted by Malaysians as their top media brand once again. This year, it is even more special for us as we received not one but FOUR awards—Platinum for Astro, Silver for Go Shop, and two Silver for radio, Era and Hitz. I would like to thank our customers and listeners for your support. Thank you, Malaysia!” said Henry Tan, Group Chief Executive Officer of Astro.
