  "summary": "Malaysian productions have dominated the 2026 ContentAsia Awards, winning a total of seven awards across four categories. The awards, held in Bangkok, Thailand, recognise the best television, streaming, and entertainment content produced across Asia. Malaysian success was particularly strong in the animation category, where local productions won all three awards in the Best Animated Programme Made in Asia category. MONSTA Studios Sdn Bhd's BoBoiBoy Galaxy Baraju took Gold, ASTRO Malaysia's Kisah Bawah Tanah earned Silver, and Les' Copaque Production Sdn Bhd's Upin & Ipin: Wira Minyak Sawit received Bronze. In addition to animation, Malaysian productions also won in the Best Sound Design Created in Asia for an Asian TV Programme/Series category, with BoBoiBoy Galaxy Baraju taking Bronze. Other notable wins include ASTRO Shaw's Bad Cop winning Silver in the Best Original Game Show Made in Asia category, and Astro Shaw's Abah Saya, Uncle Mike winning Gold in the Best Feature Film or Telemovie Made in Asia category. These wins demonstrate the growing regional reach of Malaysian creators and productions in an increasingly competitive industry.",
