Two of our finest drama series titled “Cinta yang Hilang” (TVR 6 & audience share 23.7%) and “Dunia Terbalik” (TVR 5.6 & audience share 24.9%) have performed exceptionally well by consistently going head to head for top position on the top 10 drama series in July and still going strong.

Following the successful completion of our new production house set-up under Asia Media Productions, the Company is set to further drive up its production and library comprising of gameshow and reality show. Moreover, notable programs that have successfully aired on GTV are “Uang Kaget”, ”Bedah Rumah”, and “Rombak Warung”. MSIN will continuously seek to pursue more joint ventures or even acquisitions in the future to strategically position the Company for further growth.
