TVB Charts New Course in Malaysia's Streaming Era
TVB, the Hong Kong-based broadcasting giant, is sharpening its focus on the Malaysian market as it navigates the evolving landscape of the entertainment industry. In a recent interview with BusinessToday, Desmond S.H. Chan, General Manager of TVBI Company Limited (TVBI), the overseas arm of TVB outlined the broadcaster's strategies, challenges, and ambitions as it seeks to deepen its presence among Malaysian audiences. Chan highlighted several hurdles facing the company, chief among them piracy and economic downturns. 'Unlike Hong Kong, where we are a free-to-air broadcaster relying on advertising, our Malaysian service is subscription-based. If viewers turn to illegal set-top boxes, we lose a crucial source of income needed to sustain our business here,' Chan explained. Meeting Challenges with Strategic Shifts He also cited the rise of alternative entertainment options and changing viewer habits, particularly among younger generations, as significant challenges. This includes investing in social media strategies and partnering with both its own artists and local Malaysian influencers. TVBI is working to enhance the viewing experience by introducing subtitles in Bahasa Malaysia and English, which are currently available on the TVB Xing He channel- ensuring that programming resonates across ethnic lines. Despite these challenges, TVBI is positioning itself for long-term growth by leveraging four core strengths: a vast library of intellectual property built since 1967; an established global distribution network; a wide roster of contracted artists; and robust in-house production capabilities. These assets allow TVBI to adapt its content into new formats such as short-form dramas and e-sports integrations, while also exploring new revenue streams through licensing and brand collaborations. Nurturing the Market and Building Cross-Border Careers Market-wise, TVB identifies Malaysia as one of its primary overseas markets due to the sizable Cantonese-speaking Chinese population, which mirrors Hong Kong's demographics. Many Malaysian viewers are already familiar with TVB's content, often crediting the broadcaster's dramas for their fluency in Cantonese. With local production costs being lower than in Hong Kong, TVB sees Malaysia as a strategic location for both audience expansion and operational efficiency. Looking ahead, TVB is keen to nurture local talent and foster cross-border opportunities. Chan cited the recent success of a Malaysian contestant Rax Teh in TVB's 'Midlife, Sing & Shine!' competition, who has since been signed as a management artist and is being groomed for an international music career. 'Malaysia has many talented performers. What they often lack is a platform to showcase their skills beyond national borders. TVB can provide that platform through our global network,' he said. Chan concluded with a call for audience support, urging viewers to choose legitimate TVB services over illegal alternatives. Related

Thai cuisine is thriving in China
Tom yum koong is popular in China, though some Thai restaurants have had to adjust the traditional recipe to suit local tastebuds. — Photos: Pixabay From bustling street stalls to upscale shopping malls, the Thai culinary scene in China is undergoing a remarkable transformation. Once confined to metropolises, Thai restaurants are thriving in smaller cities, evolving from niche eateries to viral hotspots with long queues. This ascent positions Thai food as the leading South-East Asian cuisine in China and a cultural gateway for local youth seeking global flavours. In Taiyuan, capital of north China's Shanxi Province, families like the Lius frequent refined Thai restaurants in premium venues. With elegant Thai-themed decor, one of their favourite Thai restaurants offers sophisticated dining – a far cry from early stereotypes of cluttered street fare. The restaurant's seven-year tenancy within a popular mall, with high competition for space, underscores Thai cuisine's sustained appeal in China. Over 50% of China's approximately 15,000 South-East Asian restaurants serve Thai cuisine. Meanwhile, another restaurant called Blooming near the city's Jinyang Lake Park combines photogenic settings with tailored flavours. This restaurant isn't large in size, with about 20 indoor tables and over 10 outdoor seats, all decorated with various plants and flowers. Hu Yani, the restaurant manager, said that weekday evenings see a 90% occupancy rate, and weekends often have queues waiting for seats. Hu said that since its opening over three years ago, the establishment has continuously refined its menu based on customers' tastes and preferences. 'Compared to traditional Thai cuisine or dishes from Thailand itself, we've slightly adjusted the proportions of spices used and toned down the sourness and spiciness,' she added. According to Hu, the restaurant employs chefs with over a decade of Thai culinary experience from Guangzhou and Shanghai, consistently introducing new dishes and creative menu items to maintain customers' interest through fresh offerings. Classics like aromatic Massaman curry, tangy tom yum koong, and lemongrass-infused grilled chicken share menus with East-meets-West fusions. A 2023 survey indicates 70% of Chinese consumers still favour authenticity, while 30% embrace hybrid versions. Market data highlights Thai food's dominance: Over 50% of China's approximately 15,000 South-East Asian restaurants serve Thai cuisine, vastly outpacing Vietnamese or Singaporean rivals. Popular Thai restaurant chains are expanding into China's heartland, aided by digital marketing and food delivery platforms. Searches for 'tom yum' have garnered 130 million views on Xiaohongshu, the Chinese lifestyle online platform known overseas as Rednote, while Douyin's 'Thai cuisine' hashtag has hit three billion plays. Beyond commerce and food, these spaces showcase Thai culture through decor and performances. Industry insiders suggest that incorporating distinctive Thai elements and cultural spirit not only develops competitive edges but also creates memorable impressions for customers. Certain restaurants have further enriched patrons' immersive experiences through traditional Thai dance performances and customary practices. The Thai government further fuels growth via initiatives like Thai Select certification and the 'one village, one Thai chef' programme, training global-ready talent. – Xinhua

It's great fun going offline
Just one more round...: Visitors playing at the many booths during the ABGF at 1st Avenue Mall in George Town. — CHAN BOON KAI/The Star GEORGE TOWN: Imagine having to tear yourself away from the phone. Gasp! But that's precisely what participants of the Asian Board Games Festival (ABGF) 2025 did for at least two hours as they familiarised themselves with the rules, devised strategies and tried to outdo each other in a friendly competition billed as the largest English-speaking board game convention in Asia. 'Nowadays, because of life and work, you tend to be glued to your phone. It was nice to be able to put it aside and just have fun,' said media lecturer Intan Amalina Mohd Ali, 34. To her, the offline games were refreshing. She said many people assumed board games were just for children. 'But some are actually for adults. They are really complex and make you think,' said Intan Amalina, who was among those who stopped by the three-day festival in 1st Avenue Penang, which ended on Sunday. The event, which featured rows of tables filled with colourful cards and wooden tokens, drew in families, friends and curious onlookers. Players drifted from one table to the next, and many stayed for hours. Hospitality student Wong Jia Chuen, 23, went looking for new games to add to his growing collection. 'I have two younger siblings. We try to play on weekends when we're free,' he said. 'We like those with local themes. Some games make us feel like we are running a kopitiam or selling durians.' ABGF began in Singapore in 2019 and came to Malaysia last year under a collaboration with creative studio Luma as part of the George Town Festival. Luma founder Goh Choon Ean said more people sat down to play the games this year. 'We even had visitors from other states and countries,' she said. 'It was nice to see families and people of all ages laughing and playing without looking at their phones.'
