  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR, September 14—Netflix subscribers in Malaysia are facing a price increase across all subscription tiers, starting September 2026. The video streaming service has raised its Premium plan price from RM62.90 to RM69.90 per month, a RM7 increase. The price hike applies to all four plans: Mobile, Basic, Standard, and Premium. The Mobile Plan is now RM19.90/month (up from RM18.90), the Basic Plan RM33.90/month (up from RM29.90), the Standard Plan RM55.90/month (up from RM49.90), and the Premium Plan RM69.90/month (up from RM62.90). Additionally, the cost of adding an Extra Member slot has risen from RM13 to RM14.90 per month, per user. This price increase follows a similar hike in March, which initially impacted only US users. Customers who have added extra members to their Standard or Premium accounts will also see an increase in their monthly bills. For instance, a Premium subscriber with two extra members would pay RM99.70 per month instead of RM69.90. These changes will likely affect bundled Netflix packages offered by local telcos and pay-TV providers, but the exact timing of these updates is still unclear.",
