MyTV unveils enhanced Mana-Mana Premium subscriptions with new channels, pricing tiers
by SUFEA SALEHUDDIN MYTV Broadcasting Sdn Bhd has launched its enhanced Premium subscription offerings for the MyTV Mana-Mana streaming platform, reinforcing its presence in Malaysia's digital content market with a broader range of exclusive features and pricing tiers. Although the paid plans were first introduced in May with minimal publicity, the latest announcement marks a formal relaunch, now accompanied by exclusive content and structural upgrades for all user categories. Under the revised model, MyTV Mana-Mana now offers two ad-free subscription tiers — Basic and Premium. The Basic plan is priced at RM6.90 per month, RM19.90 quarterly, or RM74.90 annually. The Premium plan, which includes the full suite of features, is available at RM9.90 per month, RM28.90 quarterly, or RM106.90 annually. Basic subscribers will gain access to all content offered under the free plan, along with four additional channels — Rock Action, Rock Entertainment, KCM and Global Trekker. The number of devices allowed for simultaneous streaming has also increased from three to four. Premium subscribers will enjoy all Basic content, plus access to Premium video-on-demand (VOD) titles, five additional channels — SPOTV Now, Aniplus, One, ZooMoo and Drama Channel — and exclusive MyTV Original productions covering both films and TV series. The Euronews channel, previously part of the Premium offering, is no longer included. MyTV confirmed that the free plan will remain accessible to all users without a subscription. However, the number of live TV channels has been slightly reduced from 23 to 22. The VOD library has now expanded to over 2,000 titles, while access to 22 live radio stations remains unchanged. Free-tier users are limited to single-device access and will continue to encounter advertisements during content playback. The platform's refreshed offerings reflect MyTV's broader strategy to grow its user base through content diversification and improved value propositions, amid increasing competition in Malaysia's streaming landscape. At the launch ceremony on Wednesday, themed 'Unlocked: The Full MYTV Mana-Mana Experience,' MyTV Group CEO Mohamad Helmi Harith said the initiative reaffirmed the company's commitment to delivering high-quality content to all segments of society. 'Today marks a significant milestone for MYTV Mana-Mana. All of this success stems from strong cooperation and exceptional synergy with our industry partners,' he said. Acting COO Syaffandi Shahrom added that the new offering is not just about content, but also about embracing creativity and inclusivity. 'Premium entertainment doesn't have to come with a premium price. We developed MYTV Mana-Mana Premium for families, students, and individuals — whether watching on a phone, tablet, or big screen. Our hope is for people in both urban and rural areas to enjoy the content we deliver,' he said. Beyond live TV and on-demand access, Premium subscribers will also enjoy locally produced exclusives under the MYTV Originals label, featuring blockbuster films, local and international dramas, children's animation, Korean and Indonesian programmes, sports coverage and informative documentaries — all on a single platform. To date, the free version of MYTV Mana-Mana has recorded over 800,000 downloads, reflecting strong demand for accessible, mobile-friendly entertainment. In a move to further expand its digital ecosystem, MyTV also announced strategic partnerships with PRISM+, FoodPanda and MPH Bookstores. Helmi said the collaborations are designed to create a new digital lifestyle experience by integrating content, community and commerce. 'This fusion of cinema and lifestyle will expand our reach and create added value for users. We're excited to share more details about these partnerships soon,' he said.

At 12.30pm, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) added 2.62 points to 1,526.46, up 0.17 per cent from Wednesday's close of 1,523.84. The gains were led by Maybank, YTL Power, and CelcomDigi.

Bursa opens firm on tech, AI investment optimism
KUALA LUMPUR: Bursa Malaysia opened higher on Thursday, lifted by optimism over the country's digital investment pipeline, despite an overnight decline on Wall Street. The Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry said Malaysia's digital investment pipeline reached RM59.1 billion as of April 2025, fuelling growth in the artificial intelligence (AI) and technology sectors. At 9.05 am, the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) rose 1.66 points to 1,525.14 from Wednesday's close of 1,523.48. The benchmark index opened 2.12 points higher at 1,525.60. In the broader market, decliners led gainers 147 to 123, while 237 counters were unchanged, 1,879 untraded and 110 suspended. Turnover was 107.21 million shares worth RM57.59 million. Wall Street closed lower overnight, following reports that the US President Donald Trump had ordered American software firms to halt services to Chinese companies, said Rakuten Trade Sdn Bhd equity research vice-president Thong Pak Leng. He noted, however, that Nvidia's earnings, released after the market closed, exceeded consensus forecasts, reviving investor sentiment and lifting US futures. Back home, the FBM KLCI had fallen on May 28 despite a strong start, as market sentiment remained fragile. "As such, we expect the ongoing consolidation to persist in the absence of catalysts, with the index likely to hover between 1,520 and 1,530 today," he told Bernama. Among heavyweights, Malayan Banking added two sen to RM9.86, Public Bank rose one sen to RM4.34, and CIMB gained three sen to RM6.90. Tenaga Nasional was flat at RM14.10, while IHH Healthcare eased one sen to RM6.90.

On the index board, the FBM Emas Index advanced 7.37 points to 11,404.54, the FBMT 100 Index rose 8.73 points to 11,170.10, and the FBM ACE Index gained 6.24 points to 4,555.58. The FBM Emas Shariah Index edged up 1.35 points to 11,376.86, while the FBM 70 Index slipped 0.68 of a point to 16,305.97. By sector, the Financial Services Index added 13.43 points to 17,971.33, the Industrial Products and Services Index eased 0.09 of a point to 152.61, the Energy Index fell 2.39 points to 704.12, while the Plantation Index rose 2.29 points to 7,294.84.

FBM KLCI ends slightly higher at midday on cautious sentiment
KUALA LUMPUR: The FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI (FBM KLCI) ended slightly higher at midday as bargain-hunting was offset by cautious sentiment amid persistent global uncertainties. At 12.30 pm, the FBM KLCI increased 0.34 of a point to 1,526.50 from Tuesday's close of 1,526.16.
