New Prices Effective Immediately
Netflix has announced an increase in subscription prices for customers in Malaysia, effective immediately. The price hikes apply to all four plans offered by the streaming service platform, including the Basic, Standard, Premium, and Mobile plans.

Sharing Plans with Others Now Comes with an Additional Fee
Customers who share their Standard or Premium plans with people outside their household will have to pay RM13 a month for each of those individuals. This additional fee will be charged to the main account holder.
Affected Telcos and Pay TV Providers
The price hikes are also expected to affect the prices of Netflix add-on packages under various telcos and pay TV providers. SoyaCincau reported Astro as confirming that its prices would be increased, though existing customers with Netflix as part of their packages will not experience the hikes until March 1, 2025.
Conclusion
Netflix’s price increase aims to adjust to the growing demand for its services and to maintain its competitive edge in the market.
