Choo Chi Han, Astro’s Vice President of Chinese Customer Business said, “Astro produces numerous talent search programmes every year, in addition we have programmes of different genres such as variety, food, travel, music, documentary and education, including countdown galas and movies. We hope to develop a strong Malaysian talent pool as apart from the exceptional expertise in production, hosts and talents are necessities as the faces of our programmes to raise the bar of our programmes on par with international productions.”

The diversity on Astro’s Chinese channels enables talents to explore and showcase their different potential on the most suitable platforms. For instance, the debater-turned-news anchor Gan Jiang Han managed to diversify his career when he was given the opportunity to host a children’s programme and acting in movies and later on became a product’s brand ambassador. Also, the singer-turned-actress Kay Kwok diversified her career path as she joined Astro to take up the leading female role in “Home”, the first Hokkien drama produced by Astro Hua Hee Dai.

Not only that, Emely Poon who was once a pageant aspirant, has been trained to become TV host and radio announcer. Talents unearthed from Astro Star Quest will get the opportunity to explore various career possibilities; Danny Koo, Eng Yee Min and Chang Yew Joe hosted a few programmes respectively and now they are also driving the community-based Astro BDQ Cruiser, while Peace Teo, Stephanie Liew and Fyone Tan have released their debut singles.

The first-time collaboration between Astro Star Quest and popular reality singing show in Taiwan, Million Stars, enabled the top 5 finalists this year to participate in the competition where both Geraldine Gan and Tha Kien Ying (currently in the top 8 position) have earned themselves a ticket to international fame.
With efforts continuous efforts to develop our talent regardless of age, the artiste management, have successfully led the golden-aged talents from Classic Golden Melody singing competition to shine continuously as they have got chances to release a group album, appear on music show “Classic Saturday” and perform in various events.
“We are looking forward to work with more parties, be it for music album, TV appearance, events or commercials, to maximize the publicity exposure and further market our artistes nationally or internationally,” added Choo.

《Astro国际华裔小姐竞选2011》MACIP 2011 which is exclusively produced by Astro Ben Di Quan (Local Belt) sees a new theme this year, “Caring for Cultural Heritage”. The theme was chosen symbolic to the meaning of beauty possessed by the finalists and the aesthetic values held by the ancient cultural heritage, allowing a brand new sense of sight.
The ancient buildings and archaeological sites as cultural heritages have always reflected the ancients’ thoughts, wisdom and cultural development process of a region and ethnic groups. Today, protecting and saving them are our responsibility.
Accompanied with the advanced technology, modern women are able to elevate their creativity bar towards make up and appearance. Therefore, the lasting fascination of a beauty of cultural heritages can only be compared with a woman’s inner beauty. If the inner beauty and outer beauty are coexisting by these finalists, this program will reach the beauty of eternity.
The hosts for the event this year are Jack Lim 林德荣 and Cleo Tay 郑靖婷 accompanied by three charismatic girls who took the crown in the previous years, Emely Poon, 2nd runner up for “MACIP 2007”, Katrina Ho and Jane Tan who were the 1st runner up and 2nd runner up respectively for “MACIP 2009”.

Together with the finalists, he will tickle your funny bones with his comedies. The MACIP 2011 top 10 finalists includes Evonne (21) , Joey (21), Stephy (22), Sophie (22), Ivory (23), Joevy (23), Lenna (22), Kate(22), Vivienne(23) and Casswen(23).

Have you watched Nasi Lemak 2.0 辣死你媽 directed by Wee Meng Chee 黃明志 or better known as Namewee yet? If not you should head to the cinema right now!
Yes, it’s damn nice and a localized movie. It’s a comedy, which comprises a multicultural cast of Malaysian stars, tells a story about a chef seeking his identity through the making of nasi lemak.
You will laugh none stop from the start till the very last minute of the movie! It talks about everything that related to us as a Malaysian!
This movie is about a Young Chef Huang (Namewee 黃明志) struggles to get his restaurant business going because he cannot adapt to the “localized” cooking his patrons are looking for. However, contradict to his unpopular cuisine, he is also well-know as “Hero Huang” in the local neighborhood where he carries out good deed in helping the community until he met Xiao K (Karen Kong 龔柯允) who get him into deep trouble.
In order to get his life and the restaurant business back on track, Check Huang must now seek help from a mysterious hawker stall lady (Adibah Noor), who summons him to embark on the extraordinary journey of his life. Durng this self-enlightening experience, he will also meet many “local heroes” each lending their support to help him re-discover his roots and the real hidden message of “Nasi Lemak”.
Starring : Namewee, Adibah Noor, Karen Kong, Afdlin Shauki, Dato’ David Arumugam, Reshmonu, Kenny & Chee, Nadine Ann Thomas, Nur Fathia, Dennis Lau, Dian Sharlin, Pete Teo, Ho Yuhang, Felixia Yea, and many more.
Some of the famous phrases that you could not forget : 宝贝 *Muack Muack* Walaoeh.. SONG ar~~ Lai Liao Lai Liao..!!! 哗佬呵…慡伢…來料…來料!!! 死 “蓝桥” Sei Lan Qiao Curry Neh! 让我们一起做咖哩咧。。。让我们一起吃咖哩咧。。。<sounds like *干你呐 / KNN!*>
Some of the scene that it’s criticize some of the services in Malaysia like our Broadband Service Slow, No Electricity, No Water, also touching on some politic and social issues etc…
All in all, I feel it’s great and it’s just some constructive comment that will bring improvement but it also that might being used as points to take this movie down from cinema and stop screening!
Nasi Lemak 2.0 might stop screening next week. Those who have not watched it pls do so and support such a good movie!
Why wanna ban Nasi Lemak 2.0? It’s nothing wrong! It’s already approved by the censor board and now wanna ban the movie just related to the old incident of the Namewee song Negarakuku?! It’s a truly 1Malaysia Movie and you see all races involved and supported in this Nasi Lemak 2.0, if it’s wrong then why do you think the actors and actress will support in this movie?! Diam Lar!
Some of the reasons that quoted by others against the movie:
1.讲述了政府执法人员的不公（不抓没有执照的Nasi Lemak档口）
2.蔡CD的A片事件
3.看起来像我，听也很像我，但不是100%是我（林甘短片事件）
4.Orang Cina balik China(回中国论）
5.吻Keris（巫青团-“以华人的血洗马来人”的剑事件）
6.马华（马大华）和国大党（杜国大）是巫统（巫友强）的应声虫和Yes man
7.种族主义和选举不公（第一次比赛炒饭的Bangkala裁判）
8.TM streamyx的line服务超慢
9.TNB常停电
10.10A拿不到奖学金
11.黄明志的大学时期全部黄衣（大马是不能一堆人穿黄衣的）
12.大学文凭不受承认事件
13.Najib的Diamlah事件（黄和龚聊天时说的）
14.大马连Kiss的戏也不能播（后面那part）
15.大马本来很好，就是报纸乱乱讲（不是在说拥有国阵控制权的报业吗）
16. 烂车PROTON的门键+自动窗易坏
17.google translate的英文?(温家宝访马布条事件）
OMG This Video is Damn Geng ah! Must watch and share! It voice out the about the ban! Why should this Nasi Lemak ban? Watch and support, don’t ban the movie!
Even this movie was shot in low cost and budgets from the sponsor but Namewee still able to complete the whole movie using DSLR only (Canon EOS 5DMKII)!
Namewee 黃明志 deserved all the credits. It’s a really good Malaysia “Localized” movie. Local production by Malaysian to Malaysians. I thinking whether this movie will be screening in Singapore too? Keep up the good work and I’m sure there’s there’s more talented Malaysian out there will do the same and we will have more quality Malaysian produced movies!
Now who want to sponsor Saimatkong for a new movie? Haha…
—
Some of the history of how Namewee 黃明志 want to apply for the funding of the Nasi Lemak 2.0 辣死你媽 but still failed and yet the movie Nasi Lemak 2.0 辣死你媽 is now screening in the cinema with very minimum funding for some sponsor and I hope there’s more talented Malaysian out there will be able to produce such quality movie!

It’s the end for Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung 謝霆鋒、張柏芝 – 鋒芝變? These few days all the news been focusing on Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung about their marriage. I think they need time to settle their own family issue and get over it.
After the actress broke her silence and hit out at her husband for pretending to be a good man and a good father, Tse issued a statement on Friday.
Although he did not mention the word “divorce” or “split”, he hinted that the five-year marriage was over.
“From today, I will start handling my family affairs, I hope to stop all speculation as soon as possible.” He ended his statement by saying: “Finally, I am deeply grateful of Cheung’s contributions in the last five years and sincerely send my blessings to her.”
Now, CANTO-POP queen Faye Wong 王菲 has been dragged into the Nicholas-Cecilia 鋒芝變 drama, major Chinese dailies reported.
Cecilia Cheung recently broke her silence about her marital rift and said her husband was a “fake”. The actress said: “How fake is Nicholas Tse? In this world, only me and Miss Wong (Faye Wong) know.
“But Miss Wong is smarter than me. She got out of it by herself, I realised too late.”
Faye Wong 王菲, after a failed first marriage, began dating Tse in 2000. Their on-off relationship ended three years later. She is now married to Chinese actor Li Yapeng.
Rick Chin之後再留言支持柏芝，他借好友之言罵霆鋒：“霆鋒借第三者或知情人事發放消息傷害柏芝，這才是恐怖！無聲狗咬死人，真是要這麼殘忍對待你5年的老婆及2個兒子的媽媽？”他又說：“愛真的很可愛，亦很可怕！不愛時，可以何等傷害你，甚至於你不還擊前，一刀一刀刺向你，躺下跪下還要體無完膚，獨自承受痛楚，結果受到惡意中傷，批評。”Rick Chin強調幫理不幫親：“柏芝這幾年已做了好媽媽，好太太，不記仇，善良美麗，已問心無愧！你不必傷心，不愛你和孩子的，怎樣保護你們？認命吧，張柏芝！主和我們都是愛你的！”

Astro’s second local Chinese film production, Great Day, was the major box office success for local Chinese films. Great Day is the highest grossing local Chinese film in Malaysia with the accumulation of RM6.5 million within eight weeks of its screening. This record-breaking film, distributed by Golden Screen Cinemas (GSC), has also surpassed Woohoo!, Astro’s first Chinese local film production garnering RM 4.2 million in box office collection last year.
In celebration of the box office hit and the premiere screening in Taiwan, Astro organised an appreciation party today at Overtime, Tropicana City Mall as a gesture of appreciation to each and every party who made this film a success it is today. During the appreciation party, the much-anticipated launch date of the Great Day DVD was announced. The Great Day DVD will be released on 30 April distributed by Multimedia nationwide.
Attending the Great Day appreciation party were Chiu Keng Guan, the film director, Choo Chi Han, Vice President of Chinese Language Business of Astro and the film’s executive producer, Steven Lim, Managing Director of Multimedia, Tung Yow Kong, Senior Distributor Manager of GSC, movie crew members, distinguished guests and media members. Lineup of movie cast included Jack Lim, Wan Wai Fun, Royce Tan, Vivian Tok, Bernard Hiew, Jeff Chin, Gan Mei Yan, Loong Boon Min, Lim Yew Beng, Yap Ah Lan, Crystal Lee, Tan Hao Yen, Miao Lim and Brendan Yuen. Gan Jiang Han, who was working during a live broadcast of Evening Edition, missed the fun-filled party.
The Great Day DVD, encompasses the 90-minute film as well as a 75-min the making of, movie trailer and photo gallery for collection, is slated to hit the store shelves on 30 April. The DVD is priced at RM19.90; meanwhile its economic version with film only will also be available at a very affordable price of RM10. Multimedia who owns the copyright of Great Day deployed a better technology in producing the first batch of 6,000 DVDs to ensure content quality.
Great Day premiered last 13 January in 60 cinemas nationwide; tells of the various relationships between children and their parents and revolves around the central theme of the much-treasured Asian value of filial piety. The film has garnered overwhelming positive feedbacks from the local movie- goers, accumulating over RM6.5 million gross box office collections, despite stiff rivalry against foreign blockbusters during the Chinese New Year. The efforts of Chiu and Astro paid off when Great Day, together with Woohoo!, successfully hit the big screens in Taiwan on 15 April, showcasing unique Malaysian cultures to audience abroad.

There will be a dedicated bandwidth of 100 Mbps, which 70 Mbps will be used to support 2 concurrent Astro B.yond boxes, each of them simultaneously recording up to 2 HD channels while watching either one of the HD channel or the recorded HD content and downloading the third VOD programme in HD.

The Astro’s on demand library will be expanded with Latest Releases, the Week’s Best and Special Interest programmes so you will not get bored over time.
If Astro B.yond IPTV could implement something that we could just select a channel and surf with the TV + Keyboard but without required of a PC that would be cool and convenient right? Will that be possible? Hehe, if they could do it why not? I’m still waiting for the availability in Petaling Jaya.
Once Astro B.yond IPTV available in my area, I will get it! Will you?
