I had warned all the day before yesterday.

shortinvestor77 Henry Tan said: “In light of the challenges, we are implementing a strategic review of our business and
organisational structure; including deeper cost rationalisation and workforce optimisation, which will
incur one-off costs in the coming months.

shortinvestor77 Next (next) Qs will have one-off costs most likely VSS or MSS for staff. High cost. Extremely bad!

Normally only redundant staff will be accepted to take VSS. For the key person if you want to take also got no chance. Let say 15% of staff will be offered with VSS, the conservative estimation of compensation amount will fetch around 40 to 60 million. Big portion of compensation amount will be offset and mitigated by lesser forex loss expected on coming quarter.

The reduced overhead cost will have much cost saving in later quarter compare to one time compensation. That's actually a good thing to astro.

If Astro change, 5 years ago ... this wont happen.

Competition getting stiff for digital business as more player is expected to do same business. Getting slim, efficient to stay competitive is very much relevant now. Astro will suffocate if not doing anything as loss of status of monopoly. Is irreversible.

（吉隆坡7日讯）Astro推出雇员自愿离职计划（VSS），采取节约措施应付巨额的亏损。

Astro候任首席执行员陈宝福今日发表文告指出，鉴于整体经济前景充满挑战，Astro将采用自愿离职计划（VSS），让集团结构进一步简化，进而提升营运效率及减少营运开支。

采取措施应付巨额亏损有点不实，据我所知Astro2012年杪上市至今不曾亏损，若说加强财务或应付巨额债务则实为如此，星洲的用词有点误导投资者。

北京8日讯）华为财务长孟晚舟去年12月1日在加拿大遭捕，引发美、加、中3国关系紧张，中方事后也有动作，拘留2名加拿大公民。今再有消息传出，华为本月2日对美国科技公司InterDigital提告。

综合外媒报道，InterDigital的一份文件写道，华为2日向深圳中级人民法院提告，控InterDigital违反了在公平、合理等条件下授权专利技术的义务，这些技术是3G、4G、5G通信的核心。华为要求法院确定2019到2023年期间使用

Good sentiment:)

Posted by somo1 > 2019-01-14 08:48 | Report Abuse

Not just sentiments but guess it's turning the corner with 1) its venture into broadband bundle, which will not just stamp the decline in subscription revenue but may boost it instead as more NJOI non-subscription based customer may switch into the subscription based broadband bundle. 2) Recent trend reversal in the US$ strength is rather obvious. Astro would stand to benefit from the lower cost as a result as 2/3 of its content cost is US$ base. Hence, its bottom line will be lifted. 3) Its major shareholder, AK is raising capital by selling its tropical resort in Germany. And he has been doing sizeable buy-back on Astro in 4Q2018. Current depressed Astro share price presents an attractive level for AK to initiate taking Astro private. So, it just a matter of timing. 4) Institutional investors, like EPF continues to add positions on Astro as risk/ reward is clearly irresistible. Astro pays 10 cents annual dividends payable quarterly, giving a yield of more than 6% p.a. So, to the least, investor is paid more than adequately to hold the stock while waiting for all the expected stories to eventually roll out.

By checking the intermission ad in drama series, the average of 8 dropped to just 1 ad.

If you are using Astro, you'll notice the Ad department will suffer very bad in the coming earnings report.

But GoShop department will be good.
