Singtel has now launched Media Prima’s tonton, one of Malaysia’s top streaming services, on its video streaming app CAST.

The OTT video service is available on CAST’s Aneka Plus pack. Exclusively available outside Malaysia for the first time, tonton on CAST will offer more than 23,000 hours of specially curated Malay entertainment, including programs from TV3, TV9 and tonton originals. Singtel customers can access a host of Malaysian dramas up to six months ahead of the TV broadcast in Malaysia.

Yuen Kuan Moon, the CEO of Consumer Singapore at Singtel, said, “We aim to bring our Malay viewers the content that they love on the devices they prefer. With Aneka Plus, our customers can enjoy an exclusive first look at top-notch Malay-language content from tonton on their mobile devices. We look forward to adding more compelling OTT content for our customers’ on-the-go viewing pleasure.”

He added, “OTT content is an important part of our strategy to connect with our customers. We started strong with companion app Singtel TV GO in 2013 and to further meet our customers’ OTT entertainment demands, we offered Netflix and Viu. We launched CAST as a one-stop solution to their varied viewing needs and quickly expanded our offerings to include exciting OTT options such as FOX+ and tonton.”
