Astro and ANGKASA Partner to Expand Opportunities Across Malaysia's Cooperative Ecosystem

KUALA LUMPUR, 22 September 2026 – Astro and Angkatan Koperasi Kebangsaan Malaysia Berhad (ANGKASA) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to drive greater value through exclusive member benefits, educational initiatives and business growth opportunities, leveraging Astro's content, media and digital capabilities, alongside an extensive nationwide network of cooperative members.

Tai Kam Leong, Chief Commercial Officer, Astro, said, “This partnership is about creating opportunities and enriching lives across the cooperative ecosystem. Together with ANGKASA, we are proud to bring quality entertainment and educational content, support students and schools with enriching learning resources, and help cooperatives and SMEs grow through Astro's advertising capabilities. By working together closely, we hope to create long-term value for all stakeholders and contribute to more vibrant and resilient communities across Malaysia.”

Datuk Seri Dr.  Abdul Fattah Abdullah, President, ANGKASA, said, “The cooperative movement plays an important role in improving the socio-economic well-being of millions of Malaysians. Through this partnership with Astro, we are not only creating additional value for our 7.2 million members but also opening new opportunities for cooperatives to strengthen their visibility, expand their reach and connect more effectively with the communities they serve. We believe this collaboration will contribute to a stronger, more progressive and future-ready cooperative ecosystem.”

Through this collaboration, Astro will offer exclusive subscription packages and special promotions to 7.2 million members, providing greater access to quality entertainment, sports, educational and family content. Members will also enjoy tailored rewards, member-only privileges, and meaningful engagement opportunities.

In parallel, cooperatives within the ANGKASA ecosystem will have opportunities to leverage Astro's advertising, marketing and digital capabilities to enhance brand visibility, expand customer reach and drive business growth.

A key focus of the partnership is expanding access to educational content across approximately 2,000 Koperasi Sekolah nationwide. By leveraging Astro's diverse portfolio of educational programming and learning content alongside ANGKASA's extensive cooperative network, the collaboration aims to enrich learning opportunities, support student development and inspire lifelong learning among young Malaysians. Beyond education, both organisations will also explore strategic initiatives that strengthen community development, deepen member engagement, and create long-term social and economic value for cooperatives and the communities they serve.
