you don't know how I feel now, it's complicated
as I used to be part of them

anyhow, Maxis is doing a better job, which is why competition is good, without it one can become arrogant and complacent

good benefits, but banyak politics and kok toker

assteruk penyokong pembuli jalanan

is it only my browser problem or currently Astro website having issue to access customer account portal (add/remove subscriptions, pay bills, etc) ??

bahan senyum kambing ni

talking about IPTV, Astro did f***ed Maxis in the face by coercing them to carry Astro channels over their fiber network
because Maxis used to have deals with a handful of exclusive content providers before their very own IPTV plan was called off

anyway, even with Astro-Maxis IPTV, the SD channels would still be in MPEG-2 anyway, that's too troublesome and costly for them to transcode into MPEG-4 over fiber network

now, it's about time for Maxis to f*** back Astro in the face

few years down the road, Syed Mokhtar would have rolled out DTV service as well, 2 years later, Astro satellite monopoly rights will end, effectively opening up the market in local satelite TV operator, hence it is really not impossible to see its demise. Unless, AK decided to sell his remaining shares to Khazanah, then it would be a different story. I don't see AK is that close to Najib anyway, he is just one of the icons back in Mahathir's era.

whatever goes up will come down, with arrogance it comes down even faster

Khazanah has significant shares in both TM and Astro, as for ABN the company background is closely related to Rosmah and Vincent Tan

duh... all cronies

Went to the bookfest in klcc recently, not surprisingly, astro did set up a booth selling packages, last time went to diving fair and guess what, there were there as well!

The next thing you can imagine is, they will have a booth outside UMNO or MCA general assembly

I think they should set up a booth during some bigshot's weddings or funerals

Even DVD ah beng sellers also have more dignity than them

whoever is going to boycott McD this friday please do unsubscribe your Astro packages as well, do not even accept their offer to convert your smartcard into nJoi

you know those chainis aunties, they are either too rich or at least having decent financial status, too free NTBD hence got the time to participate the crap competitions like CGM
a lot of returning participants every year, so what kind of message we can see from this?
similarly, the quality of participants in StarQuest is getting worse year by year, those lalabengs should just stay in Redbox/Neway and do not ever come out

the homemade chinese language shows produced by 本地圈 are getting worse,

the good ones like "Taste of Life" and "大地" which have just ended recently were co-produced with local production house, those are considered among the better local shows, the rest of the shows like ASQ, CGM, etc, were made with the mind of reaping $$ out of sponsors and exploiting the attention-whoreness out of the participants. The most recent travel & living show (全家go cuti), featuring runner-ups from both ASQ & CGM as hosts, I was like WTF, a supposingly good show has been ruined by the auntie and uncle host. really miss the earlier show "背包go cuti" which was aired last year, the group of hosts were at least more vibrant and natural.

Really wonder how 朱志恒 (VP of Chinese entertainment in Astro) is doing his job

it's the customers have to suffer the bad karma instead
at the end of the day, subscribers still need to pay full amount

BN cronies is worse than PAP cronies, despite the sinkies keep b****ing bout their gomen on the web

services resumed and the HD channels suddenly becomes so crisply clear and louder than before

the picture quality looks better
