“Astro Kem Badminton has given young players the platform to be identified at the grassroots level and a unique opportunity to be trained by professional coaches both locally and regionally. Working with the team since the programme first started, I am happy to see how the players have grown, some even representing Malaysia at the global level today.”

“The Astro Hostel in SK Magandai opened its doors more than a decade ago. Astro has been working closely with our teachers to ensure that all our students continue to have access to quality learning content and materials while incentivising students to improve academically. We are proud to see our students pursuing secondary education and beyond, knowing that we played a key part in their learning journey.”
