Together with Astro Ria and Astro World, mio TV offers viewers an incomparable array of Malay programming. Astro Ria offers the best reality shows, lifestyle programmes, comedy series and other magazine shows from Malaysia, many of them simulcast.

Mr Goh Seow Eng, SingTel’s Managing Director of Television, said: “We have listened to the feedback from our customers and are delighted to further enhance our comprehensive Malay line-up on mio TV with Astro Prima. Our customers can now catch their favorite artistes like Aliff Aziz, Adira, Randy Pangalila and Elfira Loy on screen at the same time as their overseas counterparts.”

Headlining the programme line-up for Astro Prima will be the eagerly anticipated drama series, ‘Dalam Hati Ada Taman’. Starring Randy Pangalila and Elfira Loy, it tells the story of the daughter of a failed businesswoman who is forced by her mother to make a decision on who she wants to marry. Catch ‘Dalam Hati Ada Taman’ on Astro Prima every Tuesday at 11pm from 30 October.

Another fan favorite for the month of October will be the drama series ‘Tiara’. Starring Adira, the runner-up of Astro’s Akademi Fantasia, the series tells of the tragic love story between Tiara and Kamal. Fans of Singapore-born actor Aliff Aziz can also catch him in action on the show. ‘Tiara’ airs on Mondays to Thursdays at 9pm from 22 October.

Rounding out the entertainment offering, Astro Prima will also feature well-received series from around the region such as the Tagalog drama, “Destined Hearts”. This will be the first time the Emmy and 2010 Asian TV Award-nominated series will be aired in Singapore with Malay subtitles and viewers can catch it every weekday at 6pm.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
