According to Astro Group CEO Henry Tan, the company remains focused on connecting Malaysians with content that matters most to them, whether it is local stories, live sports, global entertainment or exclusive Astro Originals.
The introduction of Astro X3 represents Astro’s effort to provide greater flexibility and convenience, giving users more control over how they access and enjoy content.
