News Summary:

On October 7, 2026, the Malaysian chapter of the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement warned of potential privacy, cybersecurity, and data governance risks for Media Prima Berhad. These concerns arose from the media group's use of an Israeli advertising company whose leadership reportedly maintains strong links with the Zionist state's military and spying network. Previously, on September 24, Media Prima Berhad selected Triton Digital to evolve its digital audio capabilities in Malaysia. Triton Digital will host, measure, and sell advertising against the digital audio content of Media Prima's five national radio stations and its Audio+ app, placing the group's live streams and on-demand programming within a marketplace accessible to advertisers and agencies. Earlier, on September 9, Media Prima Berhad made an announcement regarding its public shareholding spread requirement, in accordance with paragraph 8.02(1) of the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.
