As the Year of the Horse approaches, Astro proudly kicks off its 2026 Chinese New Year celebrations with the grand launch of its annual festive campaign, “All Right! Kudada” (万事All Right酷哒哒). Anchored on the theme “Spark New Celebration, Find New Joy,” Astro invites Malaysians to honour tradition while embracing fresh creativity to rekindle the festive warmth.
Through “All Right! Kudada,” Astro aims to inspire everyone to rediscover the joy and significance of the New Year, transforming it into a vibrant celebration filled with heartfelt moments and shared excitement. In line with the festive theme, Astro also unveiled its brand-new Year of the Horse mascot, “Kudada,” at the launch event.
