“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.

The Putra Brand Awards, known as as the People’s Choice Awards for Malaysian brands, presented 24 Platinum, 33 Gold, 50 Silver, and 55 Bronze awards, as well as 5 special awards. The results were compiled by IPSOS—one of the largest global research agencies with over 16,000 staff in 88 countries, and certified by the Board of Governors, chaired by MATRADE.

If you’re looking for any recommendations for movies you can watch for that week, Astro gave a shout-out to quite a few options. There’s “Warning”—an action movie about gangsters and people wanting revenge that you can watch on BollyOne, “Spiderman: Homecoming”—a movie you can watch before watching “Spiderman: No Way Home” that you can watch on Cinemax, “Tazza: One Eyed Jack”—about a poker team in a “life or death” situation that you can watch on tVN Movies, and “Kung Fu Yoga”—a movie starring Jackie Chan that you can watch on Celestial Movies. but, that’s just a tiny sliver of what you can watch during the week.
