KUALA LUMPUR – Cabinet today decided not to give a green light to paid television station Astro to increase its rates without Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC), said Information, Communication and Cultural Minister, Datuk Seri Dr. Rais Yatim.
Astro boycott campaign begins when 70 non-governmental organisation (NGO) lead by Malaysia Muslims Consumer Association called for three million of its members and supporters not to pay their Astro bills for three months in a row.The boycott also include those product which are advertised in Astro.
Such move was taken after warning and plea were ignored by Astro. The paid television station was seen arrogantly defending their move to increase their rate.
The increase was scheduled to take affect on July 11 and price will be adjusted according to client’s package.
Some clients may experience increase between RM1 to RM15 monthly while others may enjoy savings between RM4 to RM14.95 monthly.
However, the notice on rate increase issued by Astro to its client is considered invalid as it did not get permission from Malaysia Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).
Astro customer must support this boycott campaign , Turn the situation over.
consumer control the price.
