Elevating Malaysian storytelling into global hits
07 October 2025

From record-breaking dramas to award-winning documentaries, Media Prima showcases Malaysian stories that resonate at home and shine abroad.       


Malaysia’s trusted content powerhouse, Media Prima, delivers stories that audiences tune in to, believe in, and talk about. From record breaking dramas to award-winning documentaries, the company’s titles lead the Malaysian market and make waves on the international arena.

This year, "Hening Rindu", the original soundtrack for TV3’s hit drama "Aku Bukan Ustazah", struck gold at the 2025 ContentAsia Awards, held in September in Taipei, winning Best Sound Design Created in Asia for an Asian TV Programme/Series.

Airing in early 2024 on TV3, "Aku Bukan Ustazah" follows the story of Nurul Huda, a young teacher who struggles to balance her faith, personal dreams, and the expectations of her conservative community. The drama explores themes of love, resilience, and identity, resonating deeply with viewers across Malaysia. 

Its strong female lead, layered storytelling, and cultural authenticity helped it stand out in a highly competitive drama landscape.

The drama averaged an impressive 2.7 million viewers per episode on TV3 and has since expanded its reach on Netflix. 

Performed by Marsha Milan, "Hening Rindu" became a cultural touchstone when her live rendition won the top honour at Anugerah Juara Lagu 39, Malaysia’s most prestigious music award often compared to the Grammys, in February this year. Together, the series and its soundtrack stand as a powerful showcase of how Media Prima delivers content that leads locally and shines globally.

Meanwhile, "Fail Mahkamah", the award-winning documentary series, once again proved its strength at this year’s ContentAsia Awards, securing Silver for Best Current Affairs Programme Made in Asia for a Single Market in Asia. 

This marks consecutive recognition after its win last year for the episode "Didera Kekasih Ibu", reinforcing its role as one of Malaysia’s most respected current affairs programmes. The progr...
